We loved staying in amoudi bay, the restaurants around, the sunset view and going to the rocky swim spot was all awesome. Going up and down the stairs for Oia though is a pretty hassle even if you are young though.

Downhill is an superview ocean.

That hotel is an amazing view among lava mountain and ocean cove. Staffs are friendly. Breakfasts are anthetic Greek foods which are superior! Thank for kind!

The Secret Gem Cocoon was exactly what we expected and more. Our gracious host met us as our drop off location and helped us with our luggage and even just knowing the safe and proper way to get to our stay. Nicholas was very friendly and helpful. There was suite service and continental breakfast offered each day. The Amoudie Bay was such a beautiful and somewhat private location with some of the best sunsets on Santorini. We would highly recommend booking a stay with Secret Gem Suites while in Santorini.

We absolutely loved our stay at Secret Gem!! The location and scenery couldn’t be better. Nick, the property manager was absolutely amazing with everything from giving recommendations to his kindness! The walk up to Oia, was our favorite cardio activity! Breakfast delivered in the basket every morning will be greatly missed! Thank you Chris & Nick, we will be back!!!

Beware the steps

Lovely apartment in the harbour area. 300 steps up to the town which would be a nightmare if you’re not fully fit. No local parking so suitcases up or down the steps are hard work. Well worth it for us

There is no word to describe the dazzlement that is Ammoudi Bay for the eyes, at both sunset and sunrise. And there is no better place than the panoramic suite to enjoy it. From the private terrace or the rooftop jacuzzi, the view is incredible. The interior is very nicely arranged and contains all the comforts necessary for an excellent and long stay. The restaurants below are top-notch. Take the opportunity to stroll along the coast, after Dimitri’s tavern. Finally, it is necessary to mention the kindness and availability of the manager. Friendly, attentive, and very professional. A 10/10 for him, as well as for the place. An unforgettable stay.

My husband and I were so excited for our honeymoon we booked a room with a sauna and tub. Unfortunately when we got there they didn’t give us our room, no explanation and no refund. The staff working there everyday was really nice and helpful. However we had some complaints, the towels smell like pee. The drain was super clogged so you would be standing in a pool of water while showering. The views were great. Some of the other rooms looked nicer. I wish they would have put us in our original room we booked as it had more amenities. Chris was hard to reach and again he did not offer any refunds, especially since we left the last few days to go elsewhere. Nor upon research does it say Santorini closes after Nov 1st. We booked this location because Dimitris (restaurant ) was in the bay as well. So we intended to get meals down there as it was highly recommended. The donkeys that were advertised are also not there after Nov 1st. So get ready to walk up 300 steep stairs a day.

Amoudi Bay is absolutely gorgeous, best sunset views - we lucked out! Our suite (Cocoon) was perfect for us. The room was equipped with everything we needed (except perhaps an ice cube tray, salt & pepper, and a facecloth). After the day of exploring, we would come back every evening and sit on the deck, glass in hand, watching the sun set and the boats, and relaxing in the jacuzzi tub. We went to the Amoudi restaurants for three evenings and enjoyed them each time. There is excellent swimming just 10 minutes along the shore - wish we had dared to go in the water sooner in the week! Arhodoula was our lovely host and was very helpful; she brought us a generous breakfast each morning - a variety of hot and cold items, more than enough, so we often kept some for a snack later. The many steps up to Oia were a morning challenge: we found it manageable (ONCE a day) and of course the views made it worth it - but this is not a location for people with mobility issues (or unsuitable footwear). That made Amoudi seem more special: it is not as intensely groomed as Oia and Fira - donkey droppings litter the steps, for instance - but that was fine with us. So glad we came before the intense heat and huge numbers of tourists, and extra-happy that we picked Secret Gem Suites.

We just stayed 4 nights here and really enjoyed the stay. There were 3 of us in Nest suite. It was tight but definitely manageable. It was clean and comfortable and the AC worked well. What really made the stay was Nikos. He is such a nice guy. He was always available to be reached via text and was quick to respond and very informative and helpful. Breakfast was delivered every morning about 9 and it was surprisingly good. Parking here in my opinion is really not possible except early in the day or scooters. All of the boats pick up and drop off here so it’s completely jammed and impassible in the late afternoon until after sunset when everything clears out. There are steps to walk up to Oia. They say 278, however they are kind of numbered and it was about 230 according to these numbers. I’m not in great shape at all and I only had to stop twice. There are also donkey rides for 10 euros each. The other option is transfer coordinated through Nikos for about 20-25 euros to Oia. We usually went up in the mid morning, ate lunch and sometimes dinner in Oia and then came back down. Make sure your phone is charged for the light so as to be able navigate the steps and avoid the donkey poo after dark. We also had friends staying up in Oia. It was nice to be able to come down and get away from the village in the evenings and being so close to the water was nice. There are 3 or 4 restaurants to choose from and there is an ice cream shop as well that sells water, beer, wine and snacks.

Secret Gem is a modernized rustic hotel room that offered all the amenities we needed. The hotel’s rustic charm and its magnificent, jaw-dropping surroundings amazed me everyday. We are incredibly appreciative to both Chris and Sabi. Thank you for sharing this incredible experience that I will never forget.

Our host Chris gave us a good walkthrough, along with some historical information about Ammoudi Bay. He was an inobtrusive host, but always available when needed. Our housekeeper each day was polite and efficient. Our cave room, with lounge, dual bathroom and kitchette was perfect. The rooftop plunge pool was a great touch for watching the famous Oia sunsets. Oia and Ammoudi Bay are not cheap places to eat, so be mindful that if the 4 restaurants down on the waterfront start hitting the hip pocket, youll need to venture up the hill. I wouldnt recommend a family or kids, its an adult location. All in all, very happy with our experience.

We stayed here in May 2025. The staff was amazing, very helpful and accommodating to our needs. The breakfast was great. And of course the views were stunning! This place is unlike any place we have stayed before! Lots of stairs to get to our stay but other than that there is not one negative things I can say about the place.

I did have a several challenges with the booking and with communication to meet someone to find this place, and with someone dropping the ball on not including the baby cot that was requested at booking. This all seems to have been the fault of the management office. However, I felt compelled to leave a review for Nikos, our concierge/contact during our stay. He completely blew us away with the beyond 5-star service he provided. He bent over backwards and more (metaphorically speaking) to not only correct the mistakes of the management office (including spending hours of his time at 11pm driving across the island to get a baby cot for us), but also solve every other problem we had. However highly I speak of him, he deserves higher praise still, and he made our stay truly memorable and remarkable. We've never experienced service coming anywhere close to as good as what Nikos provided. Would very much love to stay here again if he were to still be the concierge. The room was also very nice and clean, and we liked that the hot (warm) tub was much more private than many on the island.

朝食が美味しい、バスケットに入ってて可愛い。部屋が可愛い。受付のデスクはなく、欧州で普及してるチャットアプリを使ってスタッフとやりとりする。アジア圏の人はこのチャットアプリを持っていないのでスタッフとのやりとりに困るかもしれない。ただ毎朝スタッフが巡回してくれるのであまり問題なかった。

We enjoyed our stay here. The room was very large, clean and just as pictured. The breakfast every morning was great and loved that it was delivered to your window. The check in process and accessing the property was a little confusing. However the owner was able to contact us and support immediately.

Upon arrival to Oia, Nikos from Secret Gem, met us and guided us to our room. He was extremely friendly and helpful throughout our entire stay. Every morning we woke up to our breakfast basket at our window and they were delicious. He gave us many pointers on how to navigate and tour the island, which helped us bypass all the busy tourism/cruisers traffic. We had an amazing time! Thank you for making our visit special!

The propertyinside is very nice and clean. It is in a beautful cove at the bottom of the very steep hillside. The issue is it is very inconvient. The hill you have to walk down is crazy dangerouly steep. You have to walk around the donkey poop and there are about 15 donkeys to deal with. It smells in the morning. If you want a taxi it cost approx 20 Eur, if you can find the taxi willing to take you. This is only a fifteen minute walk but very steep. It is very inconvient. It would be nice if they offered transportaion.The hotel gives you a bottle of water that is filled with tap water. I would not ever book this hotel. Find one closer to the top where all the shopping and pictures are. Oh yeah the Jacuzzi is about 90 deg F. Too cold for me.
