The dinner was ok, but being a buffet drops the quality. Still good selection, but it felt like buffet. Not really a problem but being a Greek I am used to have better cooked dinner from restaurants, but for buffet style food was still quite good ##### Panagiotis Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Benjamin 15 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a great 10 days stay in the hotel. Excellent facilities and a great pool area on the top of the hill. The room was advertised as a swim-up room with a little misleading picture here in Expedia. Instead of the swim-up rooms that share a long pool on the terrace area we lived at the pool site around two buildings with approx 10 room. Actually the better choice as it was very calm, was equipped with sunbeds for e very room and additional canopies. Had a great view towards the sea and the sunset every night. You just need to beware if you expect the same room as shown in the pictures. Great selection of food with different themes every day. Staff was a little slow at times, but still friendly. ##### Benjamin Stayed 10 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jiri 15 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great food choices, friendly and helpful staff. ##### Jiri Stayed 6 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maha 30 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Everything is beautiful in the Santanna hotel I love it. ##### Maha Stayed 9 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna 12 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Lovely facility, location, and extremely friendly and helpful staff.

The hotel was perfectly kept. We did half board and there were plenty of selections at each meal and all was very good. Staff was pleasant and attentive. Beach access underground was perfect with bathroom for convenience. ##### damien Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Georgios 30 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really nice location, one of the most unique and beautiful property I’ve ever been.

Comes with my highest recommendation - you will not be disappointed!!! ##### Michael ### 8/10 Good #### Helene 20 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not for me. Nice room & amazing view. Lovely welcome fruit platter & bubbly. However my room offered no shade after 2pm. No umbrellas. Apparently because of wind. Guess they don't know about concrete base umbrellas. So impossible to sit outside most of the day. Food very average. Built on a hill. Golf buggies available to drive you back up. Wouldn't want to be dependent on that in high season. ##### Helene Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### phil 29 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Friendly, welcoming and efficient staff, excellent food, spacious well appointed rooms, great beach area. Very few sunbeds at the relatively small pool. No other tavernas or bars in the immediate area. Opposite the beach but a busy road in between. ##### phil Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Herkko 9 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Relaxing holiday New resort. Comfortable bed and pillows. Great and fresh food. Good coffee, but the juice was not good quality. Friendly and helpful staff. Lots of stairs, though our room was near to the restaurant. Small pool area. Access to beach. Easy parking. ##### Herkko Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Phil Anthony 30 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The hotel was perfect for a relaxing week's vacation with my girlfriend. What I really liked was the staff, the food and the facilities. We arrived were greeted with sparkling wine and we wäre brought to the room with a golf card and got a massage, just a dream. Also the beach very relaxing with nice facilities. Definitely will come back. ##### Phil Anthony Stayed 8 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 30 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Second time and will stay again Second time at this property and will stay again. I had recommended this property to friends too who also stayed there. This time I have tried the buffet dinner and was quite happy with the selection and taste. Room is spacious and well appointed apart from the mirror which was located on the wall by the bed (minor inconvenience). The property has also great sunset views. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F5AD2BD887EC2BE16880AC19B4C7B52314ED86B81693389058300.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/10815A40A8CD724251C7A6B12D292E545186E5F41693389062366.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/207D5A32C630DC3485784299B44E02B958336EB61693389059722.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa 13 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Property very nice . Room had plenty of space. Booked room with private pool. Fabulous view. We had buffet breakfast and buffet dinner which were both great. Only downside was property built on hill. So walking down ok, but walking up a little hard if you are older. They will take you to your room in golf cart with a phone call which we used.

The hotel is absolutely not suitable for parents with a baby or anyone with reduced mobility: steep slopes, stairs everywhere (bar, restaurant, beach). We booked a sea view room as shown in the photos, but got a noisy room facing the main road, with constant traffic and hotel staff passing. They dared to say it was “better for a baby.” No baby cot was provided – just an unsecured sofa. How is a 5-month-old supposed to sleep on that? We asked for a change – they said “we’ll call you tomorrow.” No one called. Worse: they claimed they called the room while we told them we’d be out. Result? Wasted our time and ruined our day. They don’t know how to manage anything. No apology, no empathy, just “that’s how it is.” ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d6a48858-c818-415a-b99a-aea932683c13-1754648434817.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/36a21ebe-80a7-4874-8cbe-40532d801a37-1754648428186.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/30f53568-f8fc-4957-a7e3-f5ead73b6f04-1754648433046.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6e83aa4b-920f-4974-a04f-cd2d37f2ad11-1754648433892.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Anass Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Christophe 22 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The Enorme Santanna Beach Hotel is a beautiful and design Hotel located in front of the beach. We had a very nice and clean room with a terrasse with a great view on the sea. The room was spacious and well equipped, the bathroom nice and clean. All the staff was extremly friendly with a everytime needed a lot of attention. The breakfast and evening buffets were very tasty, offering a wide choice of food, vegetables, fisch, bread,... If you are looking for a great place to enjoy the "dolce vita" and spend some quality time, the Santanna Hotel is the right place! ##### David Christophe Stayed 5 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary 15 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The service at Enorme Santanna Beach is really excellent. The resort is gorgeous, the view is divine, and you are on the beach. The pool area is great, with lounge beds in the pool, a fabulous pool bar serving delicious food and drinks. Everything was here and my only complaint is that I don’t care for buffet dining. But the food is great and there are options to order food to your room. We booked rather last minute and were really pleasantly surprised by the property. Would stay here again and will recommend to friends and family. ##### Mary Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### annie 15 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Had a hard time with closing door.
