Uma Ray Suites

Good location — perfect if, like us, you need to take the bus to or from the airport, the ferry port, or to explore the island. It’s a great base, less than a 10-minute walk from Fira’s central bus station, and the walk is on flat ground. We asked the hotel to arrange a taxi transfer from the airport to the hotel since there’s only one bus per hour in each direction. Otherwise, considering the hotel’s location, there’s really no need to spend money on a taxi — unless you’re traveling with several people or have large luggage. The hotel itself is very pretty, just like the photos show, with two pools — one outdoor and one indoor (which is heated, a nice touch). Front desk staff, especially Anna, was very helpful, attentive, and responsible, both before and during our stay.

We are a couple and stayed in a Deluxe Double Room. The room doesn’t look small at first, but it feels a bit cramped — there isn’t even a single chair inside. If you want to sit down, you can only sit or lie on the bed. There are two chairs and a small round table on the balcony, but none inside the room. In our case, the balcony light wasn’t working. We stayed for four nights, so this was slightly inconvenient, though it may not be an issue for someone staying just one or two nights and spending most of the day out exploring. We also booked a catamaran tour through the hotel. It was around 30 euros more per person than if we had booked directly online, but it gave us the flexibility to decide based on the weather and other conditions instead of having to book days in advance.

Perfect location! A few steps away from the front of the caldera, shops and restaurants. Supermarket right next door and a short walk to the bus stop. No stairs on the way to navigate either. Cute little balcony over the pool, the room is quitet and has good curtains should you want a sleep in. Room had plenty of space and was beautifully decorated.

The indoor pool wasn't much warmer than the outside one, not what I'd call "heated".

We had a great stay at Uma Ray! Fantastic location and a beautiful hotel. We hope to return one day. Anna at the front desk was fantastic!

Love it. Fantastic hotel with very all the facilities and best stuff. The lady at the front desk recommended a boat trip which is really the highlight of the whole trip!

Great location and everything was clean! The front desk was friendly.

The indoor pool was advertised as heated, however only the room was heated. Not the water
