Vedema, a Luxury Collection Resort, Santorini

ロケーションが良く、お部屋も清潔で広かったです。 プールサイドで食べる朝食がとっても美味しかったです。また機会があれば泊まりたいです！

Stay Dates - 26 to 31 August 2025 My family and I are Marriott Ambassador Elite members who consistently travel over 100 nights a year and spend significant amounts with Marriott. Vedema was one of the most disappointing Luxury Collection stays we’ve had, and it wasn’t because of Santorini—it was because of the hotel’s condition and the way management handled our stay from the very beginning. The property has aging units that are overdue for renovation. The first suite (which we booked with points) we were placed in had a moldy-smelling AC unit, visible sand and dust on the floors (It is an arid island, but this should be clean), and even broken glass left on the floor (we have a toddler and that was a huge issue). Before anything else went wrong, I met with the General Manager (Konstantinos Chatzikonstantinou) to address these issues and he said he’d address it in the coming days (not immediately). Even at that point he reeked of cigarette smoke, something I’d never expect from the leader of a luxury property. Then once he moved us rooms two nights later, came a much more serious problem, a staff member entered our villa without knocking. He rang the doorbell once then immediately walked in while my wife was asleep and unclothed, with our toddler sleeping in his crib. A complete violation of privacy and basic guest safety. Instead of handling the situation swiftly, the hotel made it worse. Despite knowing how unsafe and uncomfortable this made my wife, they sent the same employee back to our villa alone the next day to apologize in person. Something we never asked for and did not want. I requested a modest gesture to acknowledge the severity of what happened—50,000 points or €200 off the bill. When I brought all of this to management’s attention, their focus shifted to explaining why we should feel grateful for the “upgrade” they gave us. The hotel was nowhere near full, and the GM openly admitted he was intentionally holding back the newly built private pool villas (1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom) “in case someone booked last minute.” That’s not a gesture of goodwill; that’s unsold inventory. Elite upgrades are a standard Ambassador benefit and not an acceptable substitute for accountability after a privacy breach. This contrasts with our preceding stay in Oia, which made Vedema look even worse. Before arriving, we stayed at Canaves Epitome, a Hilton SLH property in Oia. We are Hilton Diamond members, but spend far fewer nights and far less money with Hilton. Canaves Epitome hotel was near 100% capacity during our stay, yet they upgraded us to a beautiful two-bedroom private pool villa with a caldera view and treated us exceptionally well from start to finish. That’s what true luxury hospitality looks like. Vedema has some units that look nice in photos, but it is night and day between the old original units and the newly built ones. The two bedroom pool villa we finally ended up in was a pleasant space. But luxury isn’t defined only by newly bu

Excellent service by the staff who have been very well trained and carry out their duties with courtesy and professionalism helps make this an excellent choice of hotel. Thank you to the staff for all your attention during our stay. The resort is tucked away from the busier towns which makes it even more enjoyable to return to after a day exploring. Low level buildings with privacy for all. Limited choice of restaurants in October for alternative dining experiences. We hired a car which allowed us to explore the island which we would recommend. Baikas travel organised airport transfers for us at competitive price and communication was excellent and their drivers were punctual so a good alternative if you do not feel confident driving here. My only niggle is that the aircon was not very efficient but not a big issue mid October. Overall. I would highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing and quiet stay in Santorini.

During our Greek vacations, we went to Santorini and enjoyed a 4-night stay at the Vedema Luxury Collection Resort. The resort is beautifully landscaped and features two pools, a Jacuzzi, SPA, Sauna, and 3 restaurants. We took advantage of a 10% discount on dinner at the restaurant on the first night and enjoyed a first for the resort, a great Lobster night menu with wine pairing in the 400 years old cave. Breakfast was served at the pool restaurant, also the resort provides paid transportation to visit the island. The staff consistently demonstrated attentiveness, professionalism, and friendliness, ensuring an extraordinary stay. The quite town of Megalochori offers has several restaurants and shops around the resort providing a pleasant contrast to the crowds in Fira and Oia.

What a fabulous vacation we had on Santorini in a good part due to selecting this hotel. Great location away from the cruise ship crowds that go through Fira and onto Oi. We rented a car which was ideal. Airport 15 minutes, Oi 30-40 minutes, Fira 15 minutes , Perissa Beach 15 minutes. Highly recommend looking at the cruise ship schedule before visiting Oi or Fira! We went to Fira on a non cruise ship day and it was great! The hotel is located in a small village and the local restaurants and shops were fantastic. The hotel itself is beautifully laid out. We highly enjoyed the main pool area with a bar and restaurant. It was relatively easy to secure pool chairs any time of day. Only a few pre pool time chair savers. I would say compared to other hotels, there is less pool service here re; clean towels bin sometimes empty, a couple of days chairs not cleaned from birds, but overall staff were quite nice and walking up to the bar or getting your own towels is not a game changer in terms of my rating. The staff were very welcoming everywhere we went on property. Our 2 room/2 bath suite with kitchen/living room area was huge and welcoming and most of all spotless with the room serviced daily and an evening turndown. The hotel food is also highly recommended. We did the wine tasting and it was well done. This was family trip with a 1 and 2 year old and honestly Santorini and Vedema turned out to be more fabulous than we had hoped!

Outstanding from the moment we arrived. All the staff were attentive and very very helpful. Clearing trying to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Accommodation perfect. Big light, airy room with a spacious balcony for enjoying the sun. We attended the hotels wine tasting which was fabulous, some interesting wines and a very knowledgeable host. We had a slight hic up with taxis and delays but the staff were quick to sort and offered a complimentary trip due to the long wait in the sun. This was a kind gesture. Sadly my husband lost his prescription glasses and the hotel did all they could to help find them - particular the taxi driver employed by the hotel he went above and beyond. We didn’t find them 😔 We would definitely return to this hotel. If visiting Santorini avoid staying in the busy Tira and Oia (definitely worth visiting though) and stay here - small village but idyllic with some great authentic Greek restaurants in the square. Very happy to give this hotel ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
