Aplada Suites

Amazing experience!! The hosts were super helpful and provided excellent local knowledge about the beauty spots and restaurant recommendations were simply perfect! The property itself is very modern and clean. Perfect for a romantic getaway.

The location of this place and the size of the rooms was great but we were overbilled and weeks after our stay still can't get a refund. Prepay if you go there. My roommate checked in before me and they ran her card without giving her a receipt. We repeatedly ask for a receipt and struggled to get one. We were unable to before we had to leave. When we pointed out that we were overbilled, it took days to get a response before we stopped hearing from them altogether. It's been over three weeks since we left and we still haven't gotten our refund. Also, the hotels.com description said we would get a free bottle of wine, which we never did. The operator of the hotel was friendly but did not appear to have much contact with management. Also, they are not open all night, so be sure to arrive during the day. That said, there were more outlets than I'd expect and good water pressure. We had a cold plunge on our patio and our rooms were very spacious with a spacious common area. More mirrors in the suite would have been good for getting ready but the air conditioning was decent. The location is great, very near Oia town and a grocery store and cafe. That said, the property is set back from the main road along a little sidewalk. It's a long walk (maybe 400 meters) which is tricky to do with bags or in heels. The operator can take you in a cart if you give him advance notice.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Aplada Suites! Janis, Paz and the staff were AMAZING! We are of a mixed, multinational family and we were treated well and warmly! Our suite was amazing and the view totally splendid from sun rise through sunset. We even had a plunge pool right outside of our door! The location of Aplada Suites was phenomenal in that it was walking distance to the city center but yet secluded enough that when we returned from our adventures it was so peaceful and serene!!! We opted for the breakfast option and that was such a surprise treat because it was delivered right at our door and quite yummy!! :) When we needed something, both Janis and Paz were exceptional in their response and response time.

My main complain is on the hotel charge. The hotel manger charged 3.9% euro to dollar markup without telling us. Our credit card does not charge foreign transaction fee. During our 2 weeks trip in Greece, this is the only incident. The overall stay is good. Minor down side is that the hotel is facing the quiet mostly undeveloped side, not famous caldera side. The room has a plunge pool, but the water is freezing cold. The hotel building is new and well maintained. The unit is clean and beautiful, with nice remodeling. The bedding only has a thin blanket. It was a little cold at night.

Not the best stay! Definitely wouldn’t recommend! Good location but other then that not really what the pictures made it seem like. Much rather spend the $$ on a actual HOTEL/Suite…

We visited Oia for our 35th wedding anniversary and can certainly recommend the Aplada Suites. Paz and Yiannis were really welcoming and helpful both on our arrival and during our stay. The accommodation was clean, bright and airy with a comfortable bed and good shower which is always a plus for us. Breakfast was delivered every day at a time to suit which was really helpful providing us with flexibility during the week. Oia was busier than we anticipated so it was great that even though we were within walking distance of all the hustle and bustle the suites were a quiet little oasis away from it all when needed. Lovely view overlooking the Aegean Sea. It was our first visit to Santorini which we really enjoyed - with an added bonus of accommodation that didn’t disappoint. Thank you both and to your team.

Buena atención !!

This was a great stay! So close to the main area, literally less than 5 min walk off the property. And the suites were located in a quiet private area. The suite itself was very large and beautiful! We were excited about the plunge pool but it wasn't a really that big and the water was slightly cold, but that was expected for mid September. We still used the pool and enjoyed it a lot, it had a good view! I was told the pool could be heated manually by staff for an extra fee but we declined. The staff was so nice and helpful , we had a great stay.

The people who managed the property (Yiannis and Paz) were absolutely excellent, great communicators, very friendly and helpful. The property was ok but it is a basic, self catering apartment. That's not a bad thing, but the amenities listed on Expedia include such things as a SWIMMING POOL that doesn't exist, Egyptian cotton sheets (the bedding we had for a double bed was a basic single uncovered duvet), a 55" TV with satellite channels was actually a 32" TV with 5 basic channels only, a pillow menu(really??), etc. In short - the property is ok, but the owners have been dishonest in the description in order to achieve a much higher price than the property is worth renting for. It is what it is - a simple, basic, self catering apartment with minimal amenities, a couple of the apartments have a 4ft square plunge pool(made to look like a massive swimming pool in the photographs). It should not be described or priced as anything other. Cleanliness was ok, but could be slightly better especially with the cooking area. Someone came in a couple of times to make the bed, but we had to ask for towel changes, bins to be emptied, etc.. But again the managers were very friendly towards requests. Location is great, it's about 200m up a gradual slope from the main road, 100m further into the pedestrian area into Oia. There are no facilities at the site other than what you get in your apartment. If you book this place, be aware you are booking a basic apartment, not like the description!

The 2-bedroom semi-basement suite was HUGE! The property was very quiet and overall very clean! And we even had an outdoor whirlpool, which was not in the writeup of the room… We did have a small hiccup at check-in but this was resolved the next morning.. no fuss! Getting to the property is by way of a long, very narrow driveway. To the property is downhill, so coming back to the main road is uphill, which is not ideal but in all fairness, Santorini is nothing but hills and stairs ;-) Small suggestion: if you provide Nespresso machines, you should also provide coffee capsules and milk/cream & sugar… otherwise, just provide a regular coffee maker! Overall, our stay was great and I would stay here again if staying in Oia 💕
