The perfect stay for Oia & seeing the iconic blue domed Church
Pros:

Aplai Dome is in the perfect location for Oia, it is a 7 minute walk to town & the bus station. All the buses go to Fira & then you can change to wherever you want to go. It is off the main road so you don’t get all the noise. I stayed for two nights in October 2025.

The room is nice with good WiFi, & ample plug sockets. The bathroom has a good shower. Air con works well.

Breakfast is nice outside overlooking the pool with a variety of salad, fruit, cereal, bacon, eggs, pasties, cakes, juices & hot drinks.

The pool is large but not heated so can be on the chilly side. Nice to lounge around the pool in the sun.

The perfect stay for Oia & seeing the iconic blue domed Church at anytime of day.

Pros:

Chrisa at the front desk = next wife material! Super friendly, very helpful in making dinner and transportation reservations! The pool and pool bar scenes were both wonderful. Super serene, a beautiful ocean view and just a five minute walk to The Blue Dome Churches in downtown Eia! I’m coming back here next year!

An excellent small hotel, very friendly and just minutes walk from the town of Oia.
Pros:

A very warm welcome and excellent service from all of the staff at this lovely little hotel.
We were with friends and were given adjoining rooms/junior suites, ours had a very large terrace with lovely views out to sea and just a ten step walk to the infinity pool.
Room service including changing bedding and towels was almost daily.
The poolside bar and restaurant area was staffed by excellent members of the team, the drinks were reasonably priced and food , Pizzas, salads, etc were very nice and prepared freshly as ordered. Breakfast was more than adequate with a range of cold options alongside eggs, bacon etc. The fresh orange juice was to die for.
It's a 10 minute uphill walk into Oia with all it has to offer. No problems for this 75 year old !
The lady in charge was a mine of useful information and offered advice on restaurants and even advised on and booked a magnificent half day catamaran trip which included food, drink. swimming and culminated in an unforgettable sunset experience with cocktails.
Thank you Aplai Dome and all of your staff, you made our holiday an exceptionally good one, and we've been on a few !!.

Pros:

It was amazing. Our room had an arched shaped balcony and a hot tub. The pool was blue and clear, it was an infinite pool. We absolutely loved it, and the next time I come to Santorini I will make sure to come to this hotel again.

Pros:

Had a nice stay at this hotel! Very close to the main area of Oia. Clean property and nice pool, reasonable prices at pool bar, and good breakfast. Chris at front desk was very helpful. She arranged transportation from the port, gave great recommendations, and overall very helpful. She tried helping us with rental car as well, but we needed a larger car than most rental cars offer. So if you need a big SUV book that in advance. Our room had the jacuzzi and a great view of the sunset! Parking lot is small so if you are renting car or big SUV it may be tight and you may have to park somewhere not on property so consider that.

Pros:

The hotel had a lovely infinity pool and a beautiful view of the sunset. It had very nice deck chairs. Our room was comfortable and everything looks good. The people who work there were very helpful. The breakfast could have been a little more attractive and bountiful, but it was OK. The hotel was within easy walking distance of town, but we were able to park at the hotel.

Pros:

Todella siisti, viihtyisä ja nykyaikainen hotelli, sopivan kokoinen myös kun huoneita ei paljon. Ihana allasalue merinäköalalla.

Henkilökunta todella ystävällistä.

Sijainti lähellä palveluja mutta kuitenkin sopivasti syrjässä. Pieni ylämäki tosin voi huonokuntoiselle olla pieni haaste..

Ainoa miinus kierrätys ym. kestävä kehitys. Toki se ei vain majoituspaikan syy jos maassa ei asiaa ole hoidettu mutta veden säästämisestä, roskaamisen vähentämiseen voisi kannustaa. Ja esim. Pois aamiaisella pienet, yhden asiakkaan lasiset hillo ja hunajapurkin kyllä niin turhaa roskaa.
