Akra Suites & Spa

Everything!!! The location is perfection! Unbelievable view, but just far enough from Thira and the crowds that it was quiet and peaceful. The property is stunning and pristine.

Absolutely nothing.

We loved everything about our stay!! The staff were helpful and kind. We had breakfast everyday overlooking the deep blue water. The pool was a great way to cool off after long hikes. Plenty of lounge beds and umbrellas. The location is between Oia and Fira with many restaurants and cocktail bars very close. The rooms were spacious and well maintained.

It would have been nice if the breakfast gave a bit more variety each morning.

Good stay for a romantic getaway. We did 3 nights, location was ideal and the view was amazing. Very walkable to everything you need. Breakfast buffet was delicious everyday, lots of variety. Highly recommend doing a catamaran excursion as well!

Individual tubs are not heated and not private. The spa was underwhelming, you can skip it.

The location was great and the view spectacular. There were lots of nice restaurants with beautiful views. The staff was friendly and helpful and the breakfast was great with an exceptional view. Overall wonderful stay.

Breakfast with a view, and good food too!

Our room was beside the passage or walk way and sometimes people were noisy.

Great location with views of the caldera. The decor inside the rooms is very nice and the inside of our room was very clean.

We felt mislead by the advertisement of our room. The “caldera view with outdoor jetted tub” listing has several photos which show the best angles from several different rooms. It made the room appear more private than it was- we were put in a room directly in front of the walking path, with a semi obstructed view of the caldera only visible from two tiny side windows. The photos also showed an outdoor sitting area that was private and much larger than the one we had. There were also no cushions/umbrella set out and the patio was not very well cleaned (see photo- dirty table and tub water). We realize this was partly due to strong winds but also did not reflect what was advertised. Also note that the “jetted tubs” are not heated and were ice cold when we were there so we did not use it which was disappointing. To be fair to the property they are not advertised to be heated (though most jetted tubs we have encountered are) so we were definitely surprised by that. The front desk staff were lovely, but the two staff working the breakfast buffet were a bit rude.

My family and I just recently got back from our trip and our stay at Akra was hands down one of the best accommodation! I must not have been paying attention and did not realize that this is an adults only hotel but thankfully they were able to make an exception for my 6 and 3 year old kids. First I want to do a big shout out to Kostas who was literally the man who wears many hats from working the reception and the breakfast buffet in the morning - he was very helpful! The other 2 ladies at the reception were helpful too but couldn't remember their names. The breakfast spread in the morning is really good with a lot of good option. The premises is well kept and very clean and not to mention is very close to the main road so you do not have to worry about walking too many stairs yet you still get a very good caldera view. There is also a supermarket across the street and restaurants around the hotel. The room is big and the bed was comfortable. the hotel is about 15 minutes walk to Fira and about 20 mins drive to Oia. I highly recommend this place and I would definitely come back.

None at all!

There was a staff member that stayed up all night just for us to checkout easily because we had to checkout very early

Amazing location, friendly stuff, good price for money.

Rather small

The reception staff were exceptional. They arranged transportation and tours effortlessly. They even recovered a forgotten hat from one of our tours. The food was good. All staff were ready and willing to make our stay perfect!

The bed was hard and there was a huge divide in the middle that prevented us from sleeping close to one another. (Not romantic!) Time for new mattresses!! The pillows were also hard.

Lovely staff, lovely views, very well-looked after hotel. Better than being based in either of the bigger towns because it was a little bit quieter and there are still very nice places to eat nearby - a bit of walk up the hill from Fira but worth it to be away from the crowds!

The location is great. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was nice

I booked the room with the outdoor jacuzzi. From the pictures I was expecting something more private but the jacuzzi for our room was situated right in the front of the hotel and next to the walking path so you're pretty on display. Not so private. Pancake recipe could use some work. They're super dense.

A hotel in a perfect location with an amazing view and I think that's why its price is accordingly, but it also had its drawbacks: we arrived in the middle of October so the water in the pool was cold, the pool in reality is much smaller than in the pictures on booking, the room was cute, the breakfast was poor and not varied at all, There were no vegetables and salads, few pastries, and drinks, but again the view wins there and is spectacular. The safe was not attached to the wall at all.

The property was in a very good location. The views of the Caldera were amazing. The room was lovely and was exactly how it was described.We asked if we could have our room for longer after our check out time of 12pm due to our pick up not being until 8pm. They checked for us and because there wasn’t anyone due to occupy our room until the next day they said we could have our room until we get picked up. It was so kind of them to let us have the room. It made our last day so much easier and stress free. We really appreciated this.

The only thing we didn’t like was that there was a noise we could hear from our room. It was like a generator we think and unfortunately I’m a light sleeper so it did keep me awake a bit at night. The only other thing was there wasn’t a great deal of choice at breakfast. It was exactly the same every morning. Fortunately, we don’t eat a lot at breakfast so it was fine for us but other people may find this a bit repetitive.

Fantastic hotel in a great location. Amazing views of the caldera from the room, pool, and restaurant. The town of Imerovigli is walking distance to the main city of Fira, but not nearly as crowded. Plenty of restaurants available in the town. The staff at the hotel is exceptional. Really went of their way to ensure we had a great stay. We would definitely stay at the Akra Suites again. Highly recommend a room with private hot tub!

Room was clean and comfortable. The hotel offered complimentary bottle of water everyday. Breakfast was good. Location was nice in imerovigli, close to bus stop, restaurants and the skaros rock.

Bathroom was small and the shower was open, so water split all over. The guy serving at the restaurant wasn’t friendly, in contrast to all other staff members.

This accommodation was just what we needed after a months travel. We soaked up the sun enjoying all the facilities - pool, our private spa and also the day spa services. The staff could not do enough for you and were very attentive. Great location which is quieter than nearby Fira which you can walk to or there are still a few lovely restaurants/bars next door.

The location is excellent plus the view of the Caldera is exceptional. The hotel itself is beautiful and the amenities are great. Very clean room, cosy, and aesthetically pleasing. The staff are friendly, accommodating, and easy to talk to. They even allow you to leave your luggages for a couple of hours after check out prior to your flight. Super helpful as well and proactive staff. Will definitely come back! :)

We absolutely loved our stay here, The facilities are fabulous, it's a beautiful spot. We stayed in the honeymoon suite with the hot tub, and it was fantastic. It had fantastic views of the Caldera. The food and staff were amazing. We visited other areas and found Imerovigli to be way cleaner, better, and quieter, yet, still close to everything. The hotel was in an ideal spot. The staff went over and beyond for us. They were so helpful!! we would definitely recommend this place and would definitely stay again!

I liked the quality of the breakfast offerings. The staff there although helpful, could have been more welcoming and friendlier. The staff at the front desk was very gracious and charming.

The hot tub could have been hotter. A bit more storage in the bathroom would have been nice.
