The day of our arrival, the taxi which was to pick us up was not there and our stay therefore began with a good half-hour wait at the airport. We ended up calling the hotel reception and apparently he hadn't been notified...once he arrived, the driver spent his entire trip on the phone! We then had the bad surprise to discover that the trip was not included in the initial price. It begins well. Our room was quite pretty, with a view of the sea and the person at the reception (the manager I imagine) gave us good information on the activities in the area and the possible excursions. Beware, the place is very noisy given the proximity to the road, and the shower has no curtain so everything is constantly soaking wet. Positive point for the air conditioning, and the good internet connection. The next day we wanted to spend the day in Oia, so we ask for a taxi ride from the hotel which will be charged 30€. The same evening, when returning to the hotel, this time the advertised price is 40€! So we asked the driver (by phone) what justified this price increase, he told us he didn't know. So we thought for a few minutes about another solution, then we called him back and he told us he couldn't come and hung up on us. For a so-called 24/24 service... very average, and expensive. Finally, the end point was the morning of our departure. Having a plane at 11am, we ask the day before for a taxi ride at the reception. We ask that he come at 8 a.m. to be early. At 8:15 a.m., still no one. We call him, and he says he's on the road. A few minutes later he finally arrives... with the receptionist on board (who is actually his wife) and their two children!! Once the suitcases were in the trunk, we didn't go directly to the airport! Without telling us, they dropped off the children at the summer camp first, and then the woman at the Lidl!! An aberration, when we had made it clear that we had a plane to take later. In short, I do not recommend. Expensive, unreliable (and in my opinion quite fraudulent) taxi service with which the hotel is complicit.
