Rocabella Santorini Resort and Spa

An unforgettable birthday experience at Rocabella Santorini Hotel & Spa!

I had the pleasure of staying at Rocabella Santorini on the eve of my birthday, and I can truly say that this experience will remain in my heart for a very long time.

My husband, Markos, together with the wonderful hotel team and management, had prepared the most beautiful birthday surprise for me. From the lovely decorations and balloons to the birthday cake and the delicious breakfast, every single detail was thoughtful, elegant and filled with care. It made me feel incredibly special and turned my birthday into a truly unforgettable celebration.

Beyond the surprise itself, what impressed us most was the exceptional level of hospitality. Every member of the staff was warm, professional, attentive and genuinely kind throughout our stay. The service was impeccable, and you could feel that the entire team truly cares about creating beautiful experiences for their guests.

A heartfelt thank you to the management and the whole Rocabella team for their hospitality, attention to detail and for being part of such a special moment in my life.

My birthday this year will always be connected with these beautiful memories, and I couldn’t have wished for a more wonderful place to celebrate.

Thank you, Rocabella Santorini, for making these days so special. We will definitely carry this experience with us and hope to return again soon

“Private pool” was anything but private—and Expedia was no help We paid a premium through Expedia for a “Suite Caldera View with Outdoor Mini Private Pool,” expecting the secluded experience shown in the listing. What we received was materially different. Our plunge pool was directly beside the hotel’s communal pool and a busy guest walkway. Lounge chairs were only feet from our windows, guests continually passed directly in front of the suite, and people at the communal pool had unobstructed views into both our “private” pool and our room. None of this was disclosed or accurately shown in the listing photographs. We raised the issue immediately and were repeatedly told management would respond. Eventually, the hotel suggested that we should have requested an upper-floor suite if we wanted greater privacy. How were we supposed to request that when the listing never disclosed that the advertised “private” experience depended entirely on the room’s location? The suite also had ants, water intrusion and moisture damage, damaged cabinetry and window coverings, exposed electrical wiring in the closet, and obvious deferred maintenance—completely unacceptable for a supposedly premium room. Expedia was no better. Based on our experience, getting any meaningful resolution through Expedia is nearly impossible, even when the accommodations are demonstrably different from the listing and supported by photographs. My advice: do not book this property through Expedia. If you decide to stay here, book directly, obtain written confirmation of the exact room location and privacy level, and save screenshots of everything advertised. Beautiful marketing cannot compensate for a misleading listing, poor maintenance, dismissive customer service, and a booking platform that offers little practical help when things go wrong. We would never have booked this room had its actual layout been honestly disclosed.
