Veggera Hotel

Very very nice hotel and staff, John could not have been more helpful, all the staff were very knowledgeable, food was lovely, pools were very clean, would definitely stay there again

John at the front desk does an amazing job helping guests with check in and also with suggestions on places to visit.

Hotel excellently located. Staff very helpful.

We had a fantastic stay at the Veggera Hotel. It's in a beautiful location, right on the seafront. It was so easy to get from our room to the sunbeds on the beach - it only took a minute! It was the first time we'd ever encountered a beach with black sand - and of all the beaches on Santorini this is definitely the best! The room and whole hotel complex was tastefully designed in white and blue Cycladic colours, and the selection of food at the restaurant was largely excellent. There's also a nice selection of shops to visit for souvenirs and, if you fancy a challenge, walk up to Ancient Thera from the hotel. It's not for the faint-hearted and will take about 45-60 mins in total, but it's well worth the trek! We would definitely come again and will be sure to recommend the Veggera Hotel to our friends.

Breakfast was adequate. I would suggest maybe putting food description tags with the buffet options. Room was very basic and nothing near what the picture offered in the website. It was disappointing, very noisy - could hear flushing toilets throughout the night, battled to sleep. No beach towels offered or I was made aware of the offer. Expected more.

Unfortunately the room was given to us, not having enough space for 4 people comfortably. It was a bit difficult situation for a family to spend a holiday for 7 days. While the Hotel was claiming to be too busy due to peak time, so they can't offer a better room.

This is more a review of the hotel staff The hotel team were friendly and helpful. There were a few things we did not like and they tried to help offering a transfer to a sister hotel. We accepted the transfer after 1 night. The restaurant team were great, explained each dish and made suggestions on how to eat the local starters. Negative is the meals too long to come out the kitchen (dinner was 2 hours as we had to wait almost approx 1 hour for the main). Breakfast was varied and everyone was really engaging ( no wait) If would not recommend full board or half board as the menu is very limited. There are so many places close by you could eat out (better choice) for less. The hotel itself was ok, two pools lose and the beach directly opposite the hotel. Drinks were fairly expensive €14+ for a cocktail, €4.50 for a 250ml coke 😮 The room we were given felt like an economy room, the bed couldn't have been a queen. The room was paint some time ago but they left paint marks on the floor, fridge and furniture. The parking behind the hotel is a public parking used by beach go'ers and surrounding hotels so it's difficult to get a space.

We arrived at midnight the receptionist was very welcoming and helped take the bags to our room.We had a room upgrade which I recommended as a lot of the basic rooms are lower than ground level. Be aware there are no lifts so steps up to top floors ! Pool area is nice with comfy beds however the pool is not heated we found the sea warmer at the end of October. The location was excellent for beach shops and restaurants. There is also a large carpark to the rear a short walk to reception.There is a gate onto the complex but this was locked during our stay. We stayed half board for 1 week. Restaurant staff were friendly and efficient. Breakfast was good with usual hot and cold selections but needed more choice of cereals.Evening meals were huge though the choice was limited if you dont like fish. We swapped for lunch twice to eat out on the night which is a handy option. Would have been 5 star review but our patio area had no sun due to its location or view and our neighbour was sat next to us there is no screen. We also found the drinks in the bar pricey G and T at €11and cocktails at €16 beers ok at €6 However a great place to chill out after visiting some of the busy attractions. Tip check out the cruise ship time table before visiting Thira it can be very busy with 5 boat loads visiting at a time all rushing around due to there limited time on this lovely island.

Everything was absolutely wonderful, and the staff made us feel so incredibly welcome it brought a huge smile to my face every time I spoke to them

Location good, all Reception staff particular John and Alex were excellent and extremely helpful. General cleanliness in pool area and rooms was not of the standard of a 4 star hotel. Breakfast was basic and could be improved, particularly get a decent toaster. Being honest we enjoyed our stay but would not return to the Veggera
