Maybe a good redemption (points or free-night awards); however, for a first-timer expecting the glorious sunsets from Oia or even Fira, beware that this is not that. Kamari is the other side of the island (the non-caldera side), so keep that in mind. Also, it's basically on the flight path of the airport. There is a decent black-sand beach nearby, but this doesn't appear to be on the water either. Meh.

1990, surely any side of an island which keeps one away from the proletariat mob is a good thing …. except when they are low flying above.

On second thoughts, let’s not bother with this tourist trap …. some of us stopped going in the ‘60,s …. 🙂

Get real. There's little 'proletariat' about those who visit Santorini on holiday.

And, as to your bloviating on Greece more generally, so, was it the 1950 Liatsikas Dome eruption, or the 1967 coup and junta that convinced you to avoid Greece since the 1960s?

Either way, good riddance. Enjoy that cold rain up north.

The hotel photographers and marketing spinmeisters have gone to great lengths to hide whatever ugly thing is right in front of that wrap-around pool. The elephant in the room must be pretty unattractive.

You silly, silly poster of dubious repute, 1990. Your post above smacks of nothing short of avarice and all because I’m not in the cool Northern Hemisphere currently. Nor do we intend to be fleeced by the UK Marxist government.
Do you know 1990, one could become bored by the silly banter posted by those who have done nothing, or know nothing about real life, yes?

Enjoy your time in the so-called ‘global south’ … I mean, ‘developing’… I mean, ‘third,’ … I mean, ‘s-hole’ countries with more sun, better food, and happier people, ironically.

My wife had one look at the property and said she doesn't like it. LXR is what?

Do you know 1990, ‘she who must be obeyed’ now describes us as Global-nomad's. We will only reside in any location for a few weeks …. eat your heart out Gunga din, as yes, we will enjoy the remaining time we have left together …. 🙂

Anthony, Ben uses the term “Hilton’s sort-of-luxury LXR Hotels & Resorts brand”, sort-of-luxury might well be an apt description. A child or someone like me who cannot spell for toffee, might shorten the word luxury to LXR.
