Arotron Santorini

Not what I expected — disappointing experience My stay at Arotron Suites was unfortunately below expectations. The property did not match the online photos or descriptions — it lacked charm and did not offer the advertised sea views. No receptionist on staff in the evenings like in a normal hotel, so I was kinda scared each night, cos I was alone; the Door has no automatic key card, just a single long key. But the rooms were cleaned every day by a housekeeper. On my last day, I noticed some of my belongings were missing and had to file a police report, which made the experience even more unpleasant. The police stated they will follow up. Transportation was also challenging — several drivers refused to pick me up because of the hotel’s difficult location and layout, leaving me to walk under the hot sun. Although my suite was described as the largest, it only had a jacuzzi, while smaller suites had private pools. This felt misleading and disappointing given the high temperatures (over 90°F) during my stay. Overall, I did not enjoy my time here and would not recommend this hotel to others visiting Santorini.

This place is perfection. The suites are quiet, comfortable, and romantic. The private pool is a wonderful way to start, spend, or wrap up a day. The staff, led by the wonderful Nadia, is ever accommodating and discretely attentive. The breakfast is as large or small as you’d like and VERY tasty. Pyrgos is off the touristy path of Fira and Oia, but close enough to get there quickly and easily; but, has its own unique charm with great food and history, and several wineries nest by. I heartily recommend the Arotron Suites. It is a hidden gem. It is one of my most memorable stays in decades.

This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. From the moment we drove into the property there was nothing we could fault. We booked a honeymoon suite but was given upgrade to executive suite which we were very thankful for. I was given lovely bottle of wine for my birthday as well. Pros - Location absolutely peaceful, calm, clean with view of caldera. - Warm, attentive and caring staff (Nadia) - Lovely pool and rooms nicely decorated. - Few nice restaurants and cafes in walking distance in a pretty little Pyrgos village. Con’s - To get to Fira town which is just about 10 min taxj drive will cost €50 2 way - Great selection of breakfast but definitely room for improvement. Coffee was great. - Pool slightly cold. Water temperature might suit abit later in the month. - If hotel could put some plates and cutleries in the room it would be great
