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！

I rarely comment on hotels (mostly wine and dine is my focus) but Vedema at Santorini has made a very memorable impression during our stay here I feel they deserve a special mention. The staff at reception was very friendly and their WhatsApp communication is so efficient that all our needs (such as transportation) are promptly taken care of. The hotel premise itself has a lot of photogenic spots and their poolside breakfast is also very pleasant. Rooms are very spacious and the color tone blends into the Santorini spirit. It seems they are still expanding with new villas being built! Glad we choose this hotel!

No views, remote location, lots of stairs, poor ac and it’s very hot in June, gaps in doors and windows for ac to escape, poor internet connection, food was ok but took over 45 mins to get it because 1 oven broke, forgot our drinks, 30 euros one way to get to bigger villages. Do NOT stay here. It’s not “Luxury” and Marriott should be ashamed.

I’ll start with the good stuff. The staff are amazing and the service from them was outstanding. Both pools are well maintained and a reasonable temperature. Every drink was delicious and the ingredients in the food were fresh. They looked after my daughter very well and when I got sun burnt they got me some after sun flamigel. The wine list and cocktail list are good. Now for the bad stuff. The room (technically a suite and not cheap). We got given room 204 (the key was marked as T4). It was the furthest from the reception. Don’t expect a good sleep if you stay in this suite as there is a road that runs in front of the room and you will get woken by vehicles. There is a car park about 15/20 metres to one side of the room and a building site in the opposite direction and although no work was being done during our stay it didn’t make for a beautiful view. To get to the reception from our room it was quicker to walk outside the hotel and down the hill than to walk through the hotel. Inside the room, the air conditioning makes a lot of noise. The toilet seat was broken. The wooden blinds let the morning light in (which shined directly in my eyes). The rooms are not big. We ate at Trataro, Alati and Pergola Pool Restaurant. The best being the breakfast at Pergola Pool Restaurant as it came hot, quickly and was a good quality. I was not a fan of the food at Alati although it was creative. The food took a long time at Trataro and when served was not hot and I ordered the seafood pasta which came with bits of broken shell in so left most of it. The value for money at Alati and Trataro are not good so if you are thinking of eating I suggest heading out of the hotel to any of the local restaurants as the prices are far less. We asked the hotel to organise horse riding and it seems the day staff and the night staff don’t communicate as this was ignored by the day staff and only when I came back to see the original lady I asked did it get organised but because it had been ignored there was no availability for the local (nearest) place and I had to use a different company which cost an additional 50 euros (the cost of the taxi to and from). The taxi would only take cash which created an additional problem of finding cash (I would have expected the hotel to have paid this bill as they didn’t do as requested originally).

Titanium Elite member here with extensive travel and a loyal Marriott guy. My stay was mediocre at best… Not only did they give me the worst possible room on the resort but it was almost like a diff level of service or atleast that’s how I felt. Maybe it was because I used points for a portion of my stay, which I earned by spending $$$ with Marriott brands. Upgrades were requested and they were available ( I searched the availability on the app and there were MULTIPLE other options)but my room was a Dorian suite here the loading dock with so much noise and loud talking from the staff it totally took away from relaxing in the room or early lazy mornings in the bed. Now, for the good, the restaurant staff at both breakfast and lunch and most of all at the onsite dinner spot were absolutely outstanding and the food was phenomenal. If doing it over I would choose another resort and spend less time in Santorini as well. I’ve stayed at a few Luxury Collection hotels around the world and have never had this level of service with a well earned status and my requests for upgrades.

I absolutely loved this property. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The amenities were great. The restaurants were delicious. I appreciate the hospitality and atmosphere of Vedema. It’s a great location and you can walk to nearby shops and restaurants. You definitely should check this property out. My wife and I really enjoy ourselves.
