The hype
Guests are obsessed with the staff (specifically Nikos) and the breakfast, but mixed on the value of the on-site dinner.
Rocabella Santorini Hotel & Spa
$250-600/ noć
Rezervirajte ovaj smeštaj ako You want the rare Santorini trifecta: caldera views, three swimming pools, and car-accessible parking without the Oia crowds.
Zašto Ljudima Sviđa
- Three distinct pool decks (a rarity on the cliffside)
- Direct sunset views that rival Oia's but with more privacy
- Breakfast is served until 11:00 AM and includes a massive a la carte selection
Brzi pregled: It's a wedding factory in peak season, so expect drones, speeches, and blocked-off areas unless you're the one getting married.
Pregledano od @Stephaddisonxx: I spent every evening right here. Watching the sky turn from orange to deep purple from these bean bags was unforgettable. It’s the perfect romantic escape if you want luxury without the crowds. You have to experience this sunset yourself.

Reality check
The 'state-of-the-art' gym is actually a cramped room with just a couple of machines and a grim floor.
- You plan to rent a car (free parking is a huge perk here)
- You want a pool scene that isn't just a tiny plunge pool
- You are attending a wedding on-site
Čistoća i održavanje
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally daily and thorough, though recent 2024 reviews cite missed trash and ants.
- Bathroom hygiene: Modern Cycladic style (cement/stucco) which looks cool but can feel damp; drains can be slow.
- Maintenance: High traffic means some wear and tear; peeling paint on pool decks is occasionally reported.
- Linens & towels: Crisp white linens, but pool towels can run out on busy afternoons.
- Odors & scents: Usually fresh sea air, but occasional sewage whiffs (common on the island) depending on wind.

Genie za zahteve za sobe – kopiraj i lepak
“I am celebrating a special occasion and kindly request a room that is NOT facing the back walkway or indoor corridor. We specifically booked for the Caldera view and would appreciate a unit on a higher level to minimize noise from the pool deck/wedding areas.”
Česta pitanja i skriveni saveti
Sve što zaista trebate da znate pre nego što rezervirate.
Is the hotel actually in Kamari?
No. It is in Imerovigli. Kamari is a beach town 20 minutes away. Do not book this if you want a beach hotel.
Is the pool heated?
The main pools are generally unheated, but private plunge pools are temperature-controlled to around 28°C (82°F).
Can I walk to Oia from here?
Yes, you are right on the hiking trail. It's a beautiful but strenuous 2-hour hike to Oia.
Is breakfast included?
Yes, and it's excellent. They participate in the 'Greek Breakfast Initiative' with local products.
Is it kid-friendly?
Technically yes, but the vibe is heavily couple-centric and the cliffside drops are terrifying for toddlers.
How is the WiFi?
Rated 9.5/10 by guests — surprisingly fast for the island.
Insajderski saveti
- ✨
Skip the hotel dinner and walk 5 minutes to Anogi for better food at half the price.
- ✨
The 'back view' rooms are often sold on third-party sites as 'Deluxe' without explicitly saying 'No View' — read the fine print.
- ✨
You can order a 'floating breakfast' for your private plunge pool for an extra fee.
5 stvari koje trebate znati prije nego što krenete
💡The 'gym' is basically a closet with a treadmill.
💡You might find ants in your room if you leave food out (common in volcanic soil, but annoying).
💡The 'sunset view' from the main bar is often blocked by wedding setups.
💡It's one of the few caldera hotels where a taxi can drop you off almost at the reception (minimal stair hauling).
💡Winter stays (Nov-March) can be miserable due to construction noise and limited services.
