Meltemi Blu

We have recently returned following a couples holiday to celebrate our wedding anniversary. What a treat it was! Pure luxury and complete relaxation. The hotel was exactly what we needed, relaxed atmosphere, excellent, professional and friendly staff in an immaculately clean complex. We splashed out on a room with a swim up pool which was amazing. Rooms are really spacious and air con worked really well too. The hotel is located right on the strip so easy walking distance to all shops, pharmacy, bars, restaurants and the private beach. I felt safe walking along the strip at any time of the day. Locals are always so warm and welcoming without hassling you to buy! We really did have the time of our lives and would return again. The holiday wasn’t cheap but you do get what you pay for. We stayed half board but if we came again, I’d go B&B if it’s an option. Simply because of the options of restaurants around the hotel. The hotel food was amazing and there were always so many options. All fresh and kept well stocked. Big shout out to the entertainment, a very talented couple who performed a different set every night, we were blown away by the varied music they played. (I’m sorry I didn’t get their names, Yanis and his lovely wife) We went on the public bus to Fira on one day (that was an experience! I think they crammed on about 100 people) nevertheless, it only cost us £2.70 and we got there safely and enjoyed our day. Great advice from Tracey from Tui to get on the bus stop outside the church and not our hotel. Well worth a visit. We also went on the simply Santorini guided tour. Our tour guide Kim was so knowledgeable and approachable, we really did learn so much about the history of the Island. I would recommend the tour. Although we didn’t get to see the Santorini sunset, we did get up early to see the Perissa sunrise and I can only describe it as a magical experience. (Another great recourse Tracey our TUI rep) Thank you Santorini and Meltemi, we will return!

Had an amazing relaxing week at this hotel. We booked a swim up room based on the pictures on the TUI website showing loungers at the end of a decent sized pool, we were in room 112 which just had a small thin strip of water outside the room which I was disappointed with as wouldn’t have paid extra for a swim up if I’d known that’s what we’d get. Had similar in the sensatori resort in Egypt and concluded it wasn’t worth the money. Spoke to the lovely TUI rep and we were able to move into room 311 which was absolutely perfect and totally what I was expecting when we booked. We walked past the rooms with private pools and they looked amazing. Never a problem getting beds at the pool near the beach. Went to Poseidon a few times which is on the beach, food gorgeous, ice cold beers and friendly staff. We did the Simply Santorini tour which was the highlight of our week, also did the catamaran trip which although nice, was not worth the money and very disorganised when we arrived at the port. Highly recommend Dorian’s bar for amazing well priced cocktails. All staff were amazing, especially the lovely lady who greeted us each morning for breakfast , although we did get told off by a cleaner for leaving the doors out to the patio open 😂 food was fine, we always found something to have although the buffet area is quite small so was busy at times, evening entertainment was not good hence why the bar area was very quiet as most people had gone out for drinks etc.
