Santo Mine Oia Suites

We recently stayed at Santo Mine Oia Suites and were thoroughly impressed by our experience. From the moment we arrived, it became clear that we had made the right choice for our vacation. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the Sunset and Sea View Jacuzzi room, which provided an incredible view of the famous Santorini sunset. The private jacuzzi was the perfect way to wind down after a day of exploring, especially on the slightly colder evenings. It added a touch of luxury and comfort, and we couldn’t imagine our stay without it. Santo Mine Oia Suites is a relatively new resort, and it certainly lives up to its expectations in terms of the rooms and amenities. What you see in the pictures is exactly what you get. The design is fresh and modern, with an attention to detail that made the entire suite feel special. The spaciousness of the room was just right. We received a complementary beach bag, daily water cartons and sometimes our towels were replaced twice a day. The resort’s newness, however, does come with a small downside. Because it's still relatively undiscovered, there were moments when we felt a little lost, particularly upon arrival. We were dropped off directly at Santo Mine and had no idea where the reception was. It turns out, the reception is shared with Santo Pure, a sister property just five minutes away on foot. However, exursion transfers tended to pick/drop off at Santo Pure. A heads-up about this from the resort would have been appreciated. Another thing to note is that Santo Mine's location means there is quite a bit of walking involved, which may not suit everyone. The scenic walks to the town center and Ammoudi Bay are about 10 minutes each, but they are uphill and downhill, so be prepared for some exertion. Alternatively, you can take a cab, but it will cost you around 30 euros for a relatively short distance. If you’re ready to explore on foot, though, the walks are beautiful and worth the effort, offering stunning views along the way. On the dining side, breakfast at Santo Mine was pleasant but repetitive. We were there for several days and noticed that the menu didn’t change much, expect for one or two items. The standard offerings like scrambled eggs and bacon were consistently available, but the lack of an omelette station was surprising for a resort of this caliber. A bit more variety would go a long way in elevating the overall breakfast experience. There were a couple of other small drawbacks as well. The pool, while gorgeous, was not heated, which made it less inviting on cooler days. While this wasn’t a major issue as we had the jacuzzi, having the option for a heated pool would have been a nice touch. Additionally, we requested a late checkout of just 30 minutes but were declined due to the resort being busy, which was a little disappointing. That said, the staff were friendly, warm, and went out of their way to make our stay memorable. We were welcomed with complimentary wine and fruit platter in ou

Resort is new. Has great location, friendly staff. Breakfast was great and you will see stunning view of sunsets from here. Housekeeping staff, golf cart drivers were all friendly. There is a shortcut walkway to go to Oia town near reception and that is very good. The flaw is the management and some services. We booked directly which included transfers, welcome bottle of wine and % off of food. We expected that after booking, in a week or two, they would ask for our flight details but they did not. I had to write to them that transfers are included and here are flight details. I also mentioned that we have big bags and send proper vehicles. But the vehicle for return transfer was small and we had to cram in our bags, where as the transfer to the hotel was unpleasant. The driver was rude. It was super hot and we saw that all other drivers were handing over chilled water bottles to their passengers. Our driver pulled out bottle and started drinking. We had to ask him to give us water. Then we had plans to sip welcome wine and watch sunset from our terrace but the welcome bottle was not delivered. We had to ask for it. The food we ordered was supposed to be discounted per package by 15 to 25% (I don't remember what the percentage was) but they didn't give that discount and we forgot to ask. It is not a sign of a classy hotel and they should improve. Finally, we requested to give us an extra hour for checkout. They 'granted' 45 minutes. I believe it was not a good gesture. Other hotels give even 2 extra hours as a goodwill gesture if we ask for an hour. People ask extension for a reason and not for fun. Hope the management improves to make the stay pleasant.

Thank you santo mine for a fabulous holiday. Myself and my husband had previously stayed at santo Pure and loved it so much we decided to Bring our 2 daughters this time choosing to stay at Santo Mine! Even though this hotel has only been open a few months it exceeded our expectations & we loved every minute. Our rooms were beautiful, immaculate & large with a fabulous terrace with deep cushioned sunbeds and jacuzzi with spectacular views of the sunset. The hotel staff are fantastic offering impeccable service. The food is outstanding & the 2 pools beautiful. Thank you once again Santo Collection for making our family holiday a truly memorable experience. We will definitely return & cannot recommend you enough 🙌🙏

I spent five nights at this spectacular property and highly recommend Santo Mine. Everything about this hotel was wonderful, from the rooms, to the property, to the daily breakfast we had added to our room rate -- and the friendly, communicative, and ever helpful staff. Many people flock to Oia for the sunsets, and once you see one you can understand why. I would argue that Santo Mine and Santo Pure are one of the best views you will get of this beautiful nightly occurrence. And I loved the convenience of the property's footpath to Oia's shops and restaurants! Our room was comfortable and beautiful, it was well taken care of by the housekeeping team throughout the course of our stay, and the concierge team was so helpful in arranging transfers to beach clubs and whatever else we requested information on or needed. Everything was explained with detail, kindness, and care. The team at breakfast each day was also fantastic and accommodating, as well as the hotel bar team. Five stars all around. You can stay at many beautiful hotels, but the team at a hotel will always take a luxury property from great to excellent, and that is certainly the case here.

We had the pleasure of visiting Santo Mine earlier this month, and our experience exceeded all expectations. Words cannot adequately express how delightful our stay was. The views from every part of the hotel are simply breathtaking. The pool areas offer a serene and spacious environment, allowing you to unwind as if you're in your own private oasis. The outdoor gym is thoughtfully designed, making your workout an extraordinary experience, enhanced by the stunning view. Don't miss the chance to experience in the exceptional cuisine at Alme Restaurant. The breakfast buffet was also outstanding, and we were pleasantly surprised to discover an à la carte menu on top of the already impressive selection. The spa, however, truly elevates the entire experience, guiding guests to a state of ultimate relaxation. The staff seem to intuitively understand your needs, providing personalized therapies with high-quality cosmetics. Additionally, the hotel’s location is a mere five-minute walk from the iconic Oia, which adds even more value to this already exceptional destination. We will definitely return!

Sensational new hotel. Great rooms, lovely caring service. Everyone took huge pride in delivering world class courtesy in a very special location. Our suite (817) was spotless, perfect layout, great facilities and close to the pool, spa and restaurants. It’s a village for guests and quite well spread out if, like us you want to explore the whole resort which is life-affirming. Even the garden and room service staff are keen to help with a genuine care for comfort. Plenty of effort has gone in to getting it right for the Santo Mine even though they’ve only just launched this spring. Reception staff are terribly accommodating too, buggies are at hand all areas to deliver wherever you choose and the drivers are full of local recommendations to make the most of the island. There’s self-evidently a huge pride in Santorini as a destination and quite rightly so. Losing oneself in the local town of Oia is totally worth it. Ask Hector at the pool for a double espresso for me and soak up the tranquility, the atmosphere and the sophisticated chic. We already can’t wait to return.

Absolutely fantastic hotel, the spa is a must see. Maria, Helena and Saulius at the spa were absolutely wonderful and did our treatments so well. The hotel itself is beautiful, service was incredible through and I would highly recommend coming to stay here if you’re ever in Santorini.

Pros - Beautiful Hotel with Great Views Cons - Hidden Fees (lots of them) - Hotel is affiliated with non-ethical business for tourist activities. Example, Buggy rental service delivered buggy on 1/4 tank. We filled up before returning. Company and hotel refused to refund or credit. Also, employee of buggy company tried to up charge by 80 Euro, said it was extra service and the government said it was needed. We declined. — Ordered manicure for Wife for 75 Euro. Nail specialist came to room and my wife and I had to rearrange the room ourselves and move a table from the outside into the room so she could work. Cost ended up being 85 Euro. - Do not use the golf carts for rides, the employees ask for Tips and will also tell you sad stories about how they make no money. One even held out his hand after.

The most incredible villa and location. I also had two spa treatments which were incredible. Maria, Saulius were awesome! Best back massage - I don’t often go to hotel spa’s… this is well worth a visit. Breakfast was beautiful and fresh as well.
