Property is nice although a bit spread over the sunset facing hill. Service was okay and friendly and i appreciated the early checkin. Cave pool suites are really overrated and lack atmosphere and cosiness as well as privacy as they are on the other side of the street and you are fully exposed there.
The biggest disappointment was the breakfast which was very underwhelming and certainly below expectations, given the 500€+ costs per night. I have stayed at the Canaves Eptiome and Andronis Arcadia and those properties are of much higher quality, especially when i comes to breakfast. Covid shouldnt be an excuse as i have stayed in other greek hotels some weeks ago (mykonos) and they have adapted very well to a la carte options etc. The service at Santo Maris was rather poor and a bit clumsy, and not very motivated either. There was a buffet, but hardly any food, no choice, poor presentation with self written labels and then one person was handling everything and didn’t even bring it to the table. No a la carte options of different breakfast items, no fresh eggs, just out of buffet containers like in a poor 3 star property.... as i said, very disappointing from that perspective and overpriced for what it is!!! I will not stay at Santo Maris anymore next time i am on the island.
