Meltemi Excelsior Suites

We went to meltemi suites for our honeymoon ❤️it was truly Amazing. Suite was stunning, whirlpool just lovely and the staff were 5 🌟 could not fault one thing. Would go back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend

My partner and I have just returned from a lovely week staying in the Excelsior Suites. We had a ground floor apartment with our own pool which was fantastic. We had a pool either side of our room as well so we spent some time in both. The hotel was ideally placed in the centre of Perissa with shops , bars and bus stops just outside of the Hotel. The beach was a ten minute walk along a quiet road. We cannot fault our stay, the hotel, room and staff were absolutely brilliant and couldn’t do enough for you. The breakfast choice was more than enough with fresh fruit, pastries and plenty of hot choices. Wish we had booked 2 weeks rather than 1!! We would highly recommend this Hotel. Thank you again for welcoming us to your beautiful island

Absolutely amazing place to stay, rooms were lovely, the bed was very comfortable, all the staff were very friendly and welcoming, the lady on reception was very helpful, Breakfast was lovely and plenty of choices. Bars & restaurants on the main road just outside, it’s a 5-10 minute walk to the beach where there are plenty of restaurants , again everyone was so friendly you weren’t hassled just very relaxing, Meltemi cocktail bar is great also Tranquilo bar is very chilled . We will most definitely be back. Couldn’t fault a thing

We stayed in one of the Excelsior suites. Highly recommended but the rest of the hotel was lovely and all spotlessly clean. It's well situated with shops, bars, restaurants and tavernas a few minutes walk away. The beach is a 5 minute walk with loads of bars (try Tranquillo - cocktails are amazing) and restaurants along the beach front. The bus stop is a few minutes walk from the hotel. All buses go into and out of Fira, which is about 25 minutes away so easy to get around the island. Taxis however are very expensive. The hotel staff are amazing. I asked in the evening if they could provide a drying rack for towels and swimwear and when we came back from breakfast the following morning it was there. We also had a medical emergency and my partner needed to go to hospital the day before we were due to leave. The .receptionist was going to ring for an ambulance but one of the staff, Yanis, said it would be quicker for him to drive us there. He did so and waited until he knew my partner was ok and was being admitted before he left us. He also helped me liaise with the hospital staff as his English was excellent. This really was service over and above what you would expect and I am very grateful to Yanis in particular but also to all the other lovely staff who were so kind and helpful. For the hotel and its facilities, the staff and its location I would highly recommend it.

We had a fabulous stay here. The hotel is spotless and the rooms are cleaned to a high standard every day. The huge bed was really comfortable and there was always plenty of hot water in the large shower room. We never had a problem getting one of the really comfortable sun-loungers around the pool. We stayed in room 98 which was on the top floor and we had a plunge jacuzzi on our balcony. The water was cold but the balcony was a sun trap in the later afternoon so we appreciated somewhere to cool off. Having read previous reviews on here I wasn’t expecting much from breakfast but it was fantastic! There was so much choice. Cereal, pasties, cakes, omelettes, fruit and yogurt, bread, continental style meats and cheeses as well as a selection of hot items. We certainly never went hungry! The pool bar was great with a great variety of drinks and snacks. Staff were always efficient and friendly. The location is perfect. Literally less than 30 seconds to several bars and restaurants but somehow you’re not aware of the noise and busyness once you’re inside hotel grounds. It’s a 5-10 minute stroll down to the beach and the many beachside tavernas and the bus stop is just outside the hotel so you can easily get to the rest of the island should you wish. On the last day we weren’t being picked up until 5 pm so we managed to get a room in the main hotel so we could shower etc. We paid an extra 40 euros. This room was also nice, it was smaller than in the suites and didn’t have the plunge pool but had a safe/fridge and a very good shower! There was a shower and a safe we could have used if we did not want to pay the extra for a room. 2 small suggestions I have to make minor improvements are that reclining chairs rather than deck chairs on the balcony would be nice and a soap dish by the sink would be useful. The only negative thing to say is that when we left the room in the main hotel to catch our flight (room 30) my husband left his earphones in the safe accidentally. He has emailed the hotel to see if there is a way of having them returned but we have not had a response. However, this didn’t affect our stay and we will definitely return to the Meltemi Excelsior Suites, we both agree it was the most relaxing holiday we’ve ever had.

Fantastic Hotel, spotless rooms, amazing shower/wet room facility, really comfortable bed, smart tv so could access Netflix/ youtube/ etc, added bonus of a jacuzzi on a ‘sun trap’ balcony, rooms cleaned everyday to a high standard and all towels and dressing gowns replaced, use of a smallish rectangular pool and sunbathing area on one side of the block of suites, then on the other side near reception and bar area a large pool great for swimming , really comfy sun loungers, breakfast was amazing, didn’t need anything else until night, top facilities in the dining area to prevent unnecessary queues such as at least 3 coffee machines etc, tables were well away from food stations so you didn’t feel you were on top of each other, the staff in the breakfast room and pool bar were amazing and quick and cleaning up finished plates/cups etc. Reception staff were amazing , in fact all staff were and so polite. Really lovely hotel, cannot fault it at all.

We went in August 2023! It’s taken me a long time to get around to writing this but I haven’t forgotten what an amazing time we had here. We had a room with its own private pool and this made our holiday even more special. We came for our honeymoon and I hope we get to come back. Our room was very clean, excellent air conditioning which was very needed! Helpful staff who were happy to recommend things to do and see while we were there. The only thing that let this hotel down was the gym (or lack thereof really) but the hotel arranged for us to use the gym at the sister hotel so if you like to workout on holiday then I would ask to visit the sister hotel. I honestly think this hotel is great value for money and we enjoyed being in a quieter part of the island. Although Oia is well worth a visit!

excellent hotel , good service , in particular the Reception Lay Roi , very kind and approachable , always smiles and giving good advice beaches are not brilliant , good near by facilities , excellent food .

My boyfriend and I just got back from a week away in Santorini staying at these suites. We had one of the best holidays we have ever had at this hotel and I am truly sad to have left. I personally haven't left the U.K since 2019 so I was very nervous to go on holiday again but this glorious break at this hotel was exactly what I needed to build up my confidence in travelling and remind me why I love going away. We would like to thank all of the staff members at this hotel for our brilliant stay as each and every one was so polite, professional, friendly and helpful! The bar staff were always very chatty and made the best cocktails ever! We loved the fact that you can order food and drink right to your sun bed and the staff were regularly coming round to take your plates and rubbish away and making sure everything was satisfactory. In addition, the staff at the reception were always very happy to help with whatever request you had. On the first day I asked for an additional pillow and within an hour it was bought to our room, additionally when we had a problem with the whirlpool someone came to our room within 10 minutes of the request being made to resolve it. The staff also helped us to book our boat excursion and spa treatments, so we really want to thank you all for making our holiday such a wonderful experience. If you wish to use the spa, I would encourage you to do so as I had a brilliant time there and for £90 I got a full body massage and a 15 minute facial! I would highly recommend the suites with the whirlpools to anyone who is looking at staying at this hotel. We had a suite on the top level so the pool was slightly smaller than the ones below. However, we had the sun shining on our balcony late into the evening so we would spend hours enjoying the view in the whirlpool before going out to dinner. The room was also very clean and generously sized. The shower was a walk in shower with lots of space which is something I look for in hotels as I hate to feel cramped in (and also my boyfriend is 6'6 so we struggle with smaller sized rooms). Finally, the bed itself was so comfortable to sleep on so we never had any issues with sleep. It was the perfect size for both of us and also had the right amount of softness whilst supporting your back when you slept. We both slept so well this holiday!! In addition, booking these suites means you get access to both pools in the hotel so there's more choice/ privacy should you want it. We used the private pool for the first few days and were very impressed with the quality of the beds. The sun beds were very sturdy and had thick pillows on which were extremely comfortable to lay on. The pool itself was quite small and a lot of the sun beds were placed directly in the sun with little shade, so they would be in the sun all day long. There weren't any parasols in the private pool area (however there were some trees that provided some shady spots) which meant you really were exposed to the sun in this
