The Elea Resort is wonderful; small, quiet and very stylish. The service is excellent. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel has everything for a relaxing stay. We particularly enjoyed our morning breakfast of our terrace. The hotel has two pools, which I hadn’t appreciated when booking. It is in a quiet location down the hill from Oia, but close to a couple of other exclusive resorts that had nice bars and restaurants. It is an uphill walk to Oia, but we didn’t mind that as it kept us fit. The view of the sunset from the hotel is spectacular.

Nothing that we didn’t like about the hotel. everything was wonderful. My only comment is that we stayed in the split level room with the bed upstairs on the mezzanine floor. The bed was extremely comfortable, but the curve of the ceiling is quite low and there’s not much headroom or space around the bed.

We stayed for 2 nights and wish we could have stayed longer! Our arrival was later than expected, but Margarita was there to welcome us and we had the best sleep during our 2 weeks in Greece! The beds are incredibly comfortable, the room is clean, and the welcome bottle of Santorini wine was much appreciated. And then we had our first breakfast which looked & tasted better than anything we saw in the main hotels in Oia!!! The choice to have it delivered to our room, the variety of freshly baked bread/pastries, greek yogurt with a good variety of fruit, fresh orange juice, eggs AND a dessert (the cheesecake is divine)...it kept us full until mid-afternoon. Several reviews have mentioned how amazing the staff are - not only are they exceptionally helpful and kind, you can tell that they enjoy their job - Margarita went out of her way to accommodate us and organized a driver/guide who helped us explore the island during our short visit. Yes, it is about a 10-15 min walk to the main area in Oia, but it is worth it for the privacy, the service, the accommodation and the food. Don't hesitate to book this and be prepared to be treated like royalty : )

Perfect views and serenity only 10 mins walk from the craziness of the town. Staff were friendly and eager to make our stay comfortable with an effort to personalise service. Bottle of wine and fruit platter on arrival were appreciated touch. Rooms are well designed with private patio, hot tub and excellent sea views. 2 pool areas with calm and luxurious feel and uninterrupted views of the ocean.

Pools were quite cold to swim in even on hot days. We only had 2 nights there- needed 3 at least!

This is a tranquil, beautifully designed and maintained hotel. The bed was really comfortable. We had a duplex room with a balcony and terrace complete with sun beds and hot tub. Main pool as well as smaller pool on the coast. Everything immaculately maintained.

Could have done with towel hook on the bathroom, but I’m clutching at straws.

Exceptionally helpful and friendly staff. Amazing breakfast. Well maintained and immaculate resort.

Stairs to mezzanine bedroom a bit challenging for older people and low ceiling was a hazard. Bumped my head a few times.

It is an amazing place. It is a beautiful property, and the rooms are very comfortable. Our stay was amazing, and the staff was quite helpful. Plenty of parking space (Renting a car will help a lot) Nearby pool clubs and Oia Center (Best pics in Santorini) Amazing Sunset. The jacuzzi was excellent, and the swimming pools were great.

All good there. nothing to complain

The location, panorama and cleanliness are to be mentioned in a positive sense. The rooms are beautiful and with very good and rich breakfast facilities, bathroom and sunbathing on the terrace, which is very convenient. We arrived late, but we were able to communicate with the staff about arranging a dinner.

Regarding the negative points, I would mention the lack of toiletries.

Lovely accommodation, lovely staff, everything seemed well maintained. The view was great although we were unable to maximise the view from our jacuzzi due to it's location.

The location, whilst not far from the bustling centre is up a steep hill which you have to negotiate in the heat - not an option for unfit or people with mobility issues.

Our stay was wonderful, my family and I loved our time here. We relaxed by the pool during the day and enjoyed a complimentary glass of wine in the jacuzzi in the evening. The staff was really nice and friendly, giving us tips on what to visit and helping us find transportation to different beaches across the island. The breakfast was delicious and a great start to every day.

Location is great but only if you are able to do some serious walking

Could not eat the eggs as they would not peel. All the cook needs to do is put the hard boiled eggs in cold water after cooking. Water in hot tub was too cold to use.
