AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING!!! Simply the Best!!!
First, let me start with the accommodations! This place was AMAZING! As an avid traveler, this place is #1 on my list.
Although it’s about 15 min from the center city , the resort had everything you could ever want or need with round the clock service. The resort arranged transportation at a very low cost to and from the city whenever needed and kept us abreast of any changes to the excursions.
The villas are like home, surrounded by beautiful landscaping that is always well manicured not to mention EXTREMELY clean and spacious! The quaint villas are modern decorated with great air conditioning and the bed met my expectations.. ( I am very picky)!!!
Staff /Service: From the time I stepped out of the car service I was greeted with a warm welcome and smile from EVERY single staff that was present!! I was pampered by the luggage carriers carrying my belongings of up many steps (please pack light for their sake..lol)
Within the four day stay I was greeted with smiles, professionalism and staff that were caring, thoughtful and wanted to ensure the perfect stay! I had such an amazing time I thought I was in an episode of “White Lotus”.lol!!!
The little village surrounded the resort had amazing shops, views, restaurants if you wanted to explore. The Spa was so luxurious and the massage was EXCELLENT!
There were several multiple restaurants at the resort of which one was located in a Cave setting and roof top where you had the most scenic views of Santorini!
While there were so many pleasant and courteous staff, I would like to highlight the following: JM (front desk clerk from Philippines), Melinda ( front desk who SHOULD BE A MANAGER).. this girl was amazing, helpful, arranged what ever was needed and then some! She takes the award for hospitality!! Next was Maria( Manager), especially Panas (food and beverage manager) .who made quit the impression on my friend who was traveling as well!
Next is Katerina who was superb! She is so smart, remembers your orders without taking notes and got it right every time. I had a nut allergy and she ensured every meal was selected without any tracing of nuts. She really sealed the deal for me! Last, but not least was Goram, Aerostatol, and Erin, in the restaurant along with the guy in landscaping from Ghana who greeted me with a smile no matter the location. He could be seen sweeping and ensuring the grounds were well manicured each morning.
I really want to thank Marriot for such a wonderful stay and for hiring THE BEST SUMMER CREW!!
I am recommending anyone who wants to vacation on the Greek Isle and Mediterranean and want to feel like luxury. I highly recommend the VEDEMA LUXURY RESORT AND SPA when visiting Santorini!!! - P.Williams/ Aug 2026 / aka E5
Avoid the pub singer
Stayed here with my wife as part of a multi island trip. With hindsight it was probably a mistake but one I could have anticipated. To be clear this is not a bad hotel, the room was beautiful, the airport pick up flawles, the waiting staff very friendly and the wine list comprehensive. But I should have known what a hotel that is part of the Marriott group (where I stay all the time on business), in Santorini in the middle of peak season would be like. Think noisy pool with loads of screaming children, a 30 minute wait for someone to bring your luggage to your room, harassed front of house staff, people feeding french fries to the cats, staff too busy checking on whether you have allergies to listen to your order etc. Worst by far was the minimally talented pub singer in the Alati / Meat the Sea restaurant, crucifying every cheesy classic from the last 30 years. You’d have to be deaf to think this constitutes a pleasant experience. My brother in law who is Greek tells it’s a tradition to pile napkins at the feet of a singer and set them on fire. I was seriously tempted.

Unforgettable Experience
Our stay at Vedema Resort in Santorini was truly an incredible experience. The service was top notch. Everyone was so sweet, welcoming, kind, and genuinely warm. From the moment we arrived, there was just something so special about the way we were treated.
The grounds are absolutely spectacular. The resort has this beautiful old world, little village charm that makes you feel like you are experiencing a truly special part of Santorini. Hearing the church bell ring every hour was one of those little things I loved. There was something so peaceful and divine about it.
I also have to mention the service in the rooms because it was honestly some of the best I have ever experienced. The housekeeping was exceptional, and every detail was taken care of throughout the day. The little treats they would leave in the room midday were such a thoughtful touch. Everything felt effortless, beautiful, and truly like luxury at its finest.
One of my absolute favorite parts of Vedema was the three beautiful cats that live on the property. They added such a warm and comforting touch to the experience and provided a little cat therapy whenever needed. I also loved seeing how beautifully they are cared for by the resort. It says a lot about a place when even the animals are treated with such love and kindness.
Between the incredible service, the beautiful grounds, the charming atmosphere, and all the thoughtful little touches, Vedema was truly something special. It felt warm and welcoming while still being incredibly luxurious. We had such a wonderful experience and will always remember our time there.
Luxury, History, and Hospitality at its Finest
Vedema is a historic property that has been beautifully restored while still offering every luxury you would expect from a world-class resort. What truly sets it apart, though, is the people. The staff delivered some of the kindest hospitality I've ever experienced, and by the end of our stay it honestly felt like we were leaving a friend's home rather than checking out of a hotel.
The dining is another highlight. Every restaurant on the property was outstanding—you could easily enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner here for a week without running out of incredible dishes to try.
Located in the quieter village of Megalochori, Vedema is perfect for travelers looking to escape the crowds and experience a more authentic side of Santorini. If you're looking for relaxation, exceptional service, and genuine Greek hospitality, I couldn't recommend it more.

Amazing
Simply amazing from the moment I walked onto the property.
Let me begin by saying this hotel is absolutely stunning. The pools, the breathtaking views, the beautiful villas, and the incredible staff all exceeded every expectation. Every member of the team goes above and beyond to make your stay unforgettable.
From the moment I arrived, Foteini's smile and energy immediately made me feel welcome. She helped plan our entire stay, gave us fantastic local recommendations, and made reservations for us. She treated us like old friends, making sure we experienced the very best Santorini had to offer and always ensuring we had the best tables. She was always available, incredibly thoughtful, and genuinely kind. I never felt like just another hotel guest—I felt like a VIP visiting a friend who knew everyone on the island. I can't thank her enough for making our trip so special.
Once we made our way to the pool, Eri took wonderful care of us. She welcomed us as though we were guests in her own home. She was funny, intelligent, engaging, and genuinely kind. She knew exactly which drinks to recommend and never steered us wrong. Every day I looked forward to seeing her because I knew she would have another great recommendation or surprise waiting for us. She made every afternoon by the pool even more enjoyable.
One experience you absolutely cannot miss is the wine tasting in the 300-year-old cave with Panos Fotiadis. It was elegant, intimate, and easily one of the highlights of our trip. Panos is an exceptional sommelier with an impressive knowledge of Greek wines. The tasting was expertly presented, and each wine was perfectly paired with delicious local cheeses.
The property itself is spectacular, but it is the people who make this place truly extraordinary. Every member of the staff was warm, engaging, intelligent, and sincerely interested in making our stay unforgettable. There were so many employees who went above and beyond that it's impossible to mention them all. I can honestly say I have never experienced a friendlier or more welcoming hotel staff anywhere in the world.
If you have the opportunity to stay here, don't worry about planning every detail. Simply arrive, say hello, and let this incredible team take care of the rest. They will make you feel at home from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave.
I truly love this hotel and cannot wait to return.
