We have just returned from our week stay at The Notos and this hotel has definitely got the wow factor. It is a traditional white building built into the hillside overlooking the harbour, the latter is what gives it the wow factor I could watch this view every day and never tire of it. This does come at cost though and I'm not talking about the euros but the many steep steps up to the hotel and the rooms it's definitely not for anyone with mobility issues. The rooms are immaculate and something we have found is a rarity during our travels around Greece the beds are soft and very comfortable. The sheets and towels are looking a bit dingy as their whiteness has long gone! There are complimentary toiletries and the aircon is included this being very welcoming after the heat of the sun. The staff are very polite and helpful and I recommend you ask for help with the cases instead of struggling with them on the steps as they make it look easy! We have only one complaint and that's the food, we had decided to go half board as the hotel is quite remote and we don't drive but we were disappointed. The breakfast was ok offering the usual fruit, yoghurt, meat, cheese ,bread, greek bacon and sausage with a couple of choices of bread . There was no English tea and the coffee machine wasn't amazing. Our main complaint was the evening meal , the choice was very limited and basic which for a hotel with this star rating is in our opinion not good enough. The ala carte menu was equivalent of a beach bar menu with the first item being chicken nuggets but with a price tag that belongs to a fine dining restaurant . The cost of the drinks was extortionate too €10 for 330ml of a bottle of Sol or €8 for the same of alpha and if you like a bottle of wine with your meal expect to pay €43 for house white. So would I recommend this hotel, absolutely but bed and breakfast only and hire a car as there is very little in the way of choice ( Suzy's up the road is excellent!) and taxis are expensive. There is a land train that charges €8 a return trip to Perissa where there are many tavernas and snack bars.

Wow what an amazing place. Myself and my boyfriend booked a last minute trip to Santorini and stumbled across Aegean Melody Suites. Not only was it a very good price, Emma and her team are absolutely amazing and couldn’t have done more for us. From the minute we got there we felt at home, were greeted with smiles and a warm hug. We were given some great recommendations. We were also pleasantly surprised with our breakfast every morning which was delicious. The rooms were perfectly clean and sheets/towels changed daily. The pool in our junior suite was an absolute dream and a lot bigger than we expected from the images online! We were initially concerned we might be a little far away from things, but the beach was a 5 minute taxi and Fira around 20 minutes or so. They also have a preferred taxi driver who was amazing and very reasonable, we could text him whenever and he would be there! We actually preferred where we were as Fira was busy and expensive (still lovely though!). Emma surprised us with deserts a couple of evenings and even let us check out late on our departure day when our flight was delayed. Honestly couldn’t have asked for more from our first trip to Santorini and will 100% be back to stay at Aegean Melody Suites. Thank you so much Emma and team!! X

Great stay. We love this hotel and the service and the room is top notch. We have to eat gluten free and the kitchen cook our meal specific to our dietary restriction. We also snorkeled here, the water by this beach is very shallow, good for kids to swim too but make sure to wear aqua shoes due to volcanic rocks along the beach area. Food was great, the vibe is so relaxing and chill. I have many choices of hotel but I picked this one, because of beach access. Even I have to drive 25 min to go for dinner or town of Fira, or else where. I find it is worth it because I can swim in the ocean without jamming with the crowd in Red Beach or some other beaches. Or you can take a boat tour.

It was in a quiet place but very close to the beach with a lot of restaurants even in the shoulder season. Would highly recommend this place

The apartments were spotless and were cleaned every day. Ona and Spiros were amazing and helped with every request we had with a smile. The pool and cabanas were spotless and comfortable. We had breakfast each day, it was fresh, and you have varied choices. It is a 5-minute walk to the beach and a wide variety of restaurants. We rented a car for 4 days, and visited Fira and Oia, and some traditional villages, all arranged by Ona. We also took a day trip on a Galleon and had a wonderful time. This was one of our most relaxing vacations , and are looking forward to returning
