Notos Therme & Spa Hotel

Most kind and and helpful staff (special mention to hotel manager) ensuring a most pleasurable (bus timetable, hotel facilities- spa aso) stay. Had a junior suite, ex-wine cellar, dug in the mountain side as I understood, the plus being a huge terrace to admire sunset from - and felt in it as happy as Bilbo in its burrow in the Shire's hillside. Vlychada beach (best in Santorini in my opinion) only steps away. Rather difficult to get from this location to other parts of the island (only 3 buses per day, on hallucinating long trajects). Parking awkward- as main catamaran trips-departing hub just in front. Big construction project (building new pier something) ongoing, so add heavy trucks traffic, noise and dust. Breakfast ok, but halfboard poor, don't recommend. Overall, great hotel and excellent management, but rental car a must.

The hotel itself was well presented but the lack of attentiveness from the staff unfortunately let it down. Minimal information provided upon arrival and unclear information given for the duration of our stay. Dinner information was unclear and ended up being charged for food which we believed to be included within our full board package. When we arrived at Notos we didn’t feel as though it was well sign posted and where reception was, was unclear. There was building works on going outside the hotel, which is at no fault of theirs however did disrupt the stay. If you are staying here make sure you hire a car as minimum things to do around the area. The view was amazing, the beds were ok and the pool area was nice and quiet.

We have had an amazing week due to a fantastic team of staff, especially Nikki- who was extremely helpful and always had a smile on her face. Very relaxing hotel away from the crowds.

I loved this hotel, the room was spacious, comfortable and clean. I had a large private outside area with incredible views of the ocean and marina. I was pleased that the hotel was not in a tourist area, it was quiet and peaceful after a busy day out. I enjoyed the restaurant overlooking the Marina, the service was friendly and outstanding. The swimming pool area was very nice with beautiful views of the Ocean. I liked the look and feel of Notos. The price I paid was absolutely worth it Thank you Nicole, Eva, Stephen, George and Eleuthevia for going over and beyond and taking such good care of us.

Lots of steps up to reception on arrival, then more to your room. No staff to help with luggage. No info from staff ever. Felt like a pest, having to constantly ask questions. Figured a lot out just talking to other guests. Are there buses? are there any pool towels? Arrived at 9:30p, hoping along with others that there would be a bar/resto to have a drink, relax, and something to eat. No chance. There is no bar. However, we were able to get wine to the room. No curtains just blinds in bedrooms. So you're awake very early. Mould in bathroom and paint crumbling off shower wall. Didn't particularly bother me, but some it would. Breakfast buffet underwhelming and serve the powdered scrambled egg which I hate. Staff scarce during the day. Nobody around looking after pool or guests. if you would like a drink or would like to order some food, you have to go and find them. Pool is small (not a problem for me) but is unheated and freezing (please heat the pool). There's no sun lounging beach. So you'll have to travel for that. Bed made, bins emptied every day. Lovely view overlooking fishing boats. Really comfy bean bag sun loungers. Rooms spacious. And Sky News. Couple of restaurants up steep hill, wouldn't rate them though. A taxi from the hotel is approx 15/20mins to Fira, but costs €45 (Ridiculous) grab the local bus 6min walk from hotel €2.50. Takes an hour, but you're driving through lot's of little villages. I'd rather spend the €42.50 on a really nice luch instead. There's a mini market close by. Expensive, but aren't they all!! There's a lovely traditional Taverna right next door. I really liked it. That's it.
