I Stay In A 5 Star Luxury CAVE Hotel In Santorini - WOW!

Santorini is one of the most expensive islands in Greece and on most people's bucket list and some say arguably the most beautiful island in Greece I'm going to be staying in a five-star luxury hotel in IA overlooking the beautiful Aegean Sea I'll show you my amazing room with its own Infinity pool I'll check out some of the food and I'll tell you how much I paid for one night at this amazing Hotel [Music] for the entrance to the resort isn't actually overly that inspiring in fact you wouldn't realize what's behind the wall I'll show you the facilities in just a moment but first it's time to check in to my room which is just down these stairs come on there's always loads of stairs to stay in any of these hotels now what's really interesting is that these are all rooms that were once in caves and what they did is basically kind of carve them out a little bit more to make them a little bit bigger but most of the rooms that you see in this hotel are original cave houses look at the view you get Greece is having heat wave at the moment Santorini never gets overly that hot but it is still 37 degrees today so I'm gonna get inside and get in the air conditioning so I haven't really told you about the room that I've actually booked I was going to go for the honeymoon suite but I thought that'd be a bit weird being on my own so I decided to go up a level from the honeymoon suite and take a pool suite and most hotels in Santorini have plunge pools and their little Pool suites are quite small this however is quite big before I go inside you have to see this pool it's an infinity pool with one hell of a view wow I'm literally I'm lost for words this is this is incredible and it's all for me so a sunbed out here a couple of chairs I don't know if the camera shows just how big this pool is it's not a plungeable this is like a proper swimming pool going on here an Infinity one now the only downside is the sun's gonna set over there so this will be in shade a little bit later but I guess if I stick to the corner um I'll see what it's like I'll jump in there in a minute a little bit of a canopy here but I need to show you the room check this out wow I just love how white everything is and how clean I know it sounds stupid obviously it's white white marble but it also smells absolutely amazing and there's my own poor view the biggest TV light ever starting down here I've got some towels for the pool even some flip-flops like it somewhere to put my uh case oh I tell you it is so hot out there I've had to turn the AC on to 16 degrees so a couple of nice little bits of reading material there's also a menu for the spa that they have here and there's so many massages um just looking at the price at some of these massages for 55 minutes uh we're looking at 190 Euros for a massage I think I'll probably leave that by the way I will come to the price at the end you may be shocked you'll also be shocked at the bathroom which I'll show you in a second honestly I don't I feel so bad sitting on here because it's so pristine I don't want to mess anything up so now everything is Tech you can see QR codes all over this Cube so there's a QR code for room service now room directory a QR code for the spa a QR code to find out more about the Island in-room dining I mean front reception there's social media I love it and the smallest remote ever for the TV which also comes with Netflix but doesn't come with YouTube it's a bit of a shame and the lady was telling me you can still see the original windows that were built into these cave houses look and they've still kept them there how they used to keep them cool look at the material on these chairs this is so nice and so comfy nice little welcome message a couple of wine glasses some complimentary wine and I believe this is uh local wine obviously Santorini does produce some amazing wine I've got some water and three apples as well I love how the air conditioning has been built into the roof and this chandelier is wow absolutely amazing it's a little bit Hollow it feels like it's chalk let's move on to the bed and on the bed I get a his hat which is quite nice to keep the sun off I'll try that in the pool a little bit later look at the headboard look at that material now actually I requested online that I get some firmer pillows which there are at the back I think they're still like feather and Duck or whatever love these like beach looking tables and Furniture definitely want some of these in my house the lighting is so subtle I love that obviously that's a little bit more ostentatious I've also got I can sync up my music to this as well it's a it's an alarm clock and over this side pen and paper and a phone as well but let's face it we all use mobiles now why would I need to use that so let's move the hats out the way and do the bed test nice and firm really nice and firm the smell in here as well hits you as you walk through the door I don't know what it is but it's it's a really lovely smell if you've ever stayed in a very nice luxury hotel it always seems to be a very similar smell that you get it is really nice though let's check out the bathroom rooms because there's more than one as we come in first of all we have this uh little area where the sinks are I say little it is absolutely huge his and hers sinks one sink there another one there some body milk a bit of a scrub flannels some soap tissues otherwise combats honestly this is so white and clean I don't want to get it dirty underneath we've got some towels a hair dryer and a scale I love how that is lit uplit at the bottom and in here we've got your wardrobe space I get a free bag I've got a safe and obviously if I want to do any dry cleaning I've got my robes and of course complementary slippers what's in the other one and there's an iron and obviously that's where I'd hang my clothes Honestly though the bathroom is so huge this area which is absolutely massive honestly I can do that in it this is the toilet it's just such a big room for a toilet it's going to feel really weird sitting on the loo just here and then looking out to this massive room I love this light though and then we go through to the shower and this is impressive because there are two showers in here again this room is just huge I mean you could fit quite comfortably about 10 people if not more in this shower as I'm on my own it's going to be which shower do I choose two massive rainfall showers and there's loads of Headroom in here as well because listen to the echo I know you get some Echoes In some bathrooms but this is ridiculous very simplified though you can turn on that or you can turn on the rainfall shower does it sound even weird Echo that sounds so weird you can really have a good old sing in the shower here and we've got shampoo conditioner body gel and a body scrub as well and that curves around and because it's so white you can't see how low the wool is there but I just hit my head on that so this is how you tell them whether you want the room cleaned or not you put it on the outside all right let's go into the Heat and check out the pool let's get in I know the Hat doesn't suit me does it but I'm in my own pool in fact if I wanted to because it's so secluded I could actually get naked obviously I'm not going to do that look at the view it feels so weird just having a pool in my hotel room oh by the way um this is not wine or uzo it's just water [Music] so I've just realized this is also a Jacuzzi pool look at the bubbles what if there's any lights in here for night time so let's check out the facilities obviously it's quite small look at the view down here is the spa you can go and get a massage in there I did try to book but the hotel is pretty full I'm only staying one night and well they don't do foot massages reflexology so I had to give that a Miss but it does look pretty nice there's some steam rooms in there too now this hotel boasts two infinity pools one of which is just here and I have got my own sunbed which is just down there I'll show you in just a second and this is the main kind of restaurant area cool thank you and this is the infinity pool just here is my private little sunbed area complete randomly with the mirror nice comfy sunbeds though an outside fan it's not really doing much but I can control it from here speed it up a little bit there's a couple of speakers as well blaring out some music so with these sunbeds I do get an ice bucket Brandy glass and uh some water on Ice no champagne that is of course no champagne of course that is extra the cocktails on here starting around about 26 euros is there champagne let's have a look speed I can't see any oh yes there is champagne 180 Euros 230 or 196 euros they do do it by the glass I think okay let's get in then see what it's like nice and shallow here for the sun beds obviously it goes a bit deeper now when I stayed at the Bergeron Arab Beyond The Infinity wall it looked really gross and horrible but this stays pretty clean smooth look at that as it should be because if you see Rusty railings and stuff like that it never looks that great does it well I haven't been into many infinity pools but as infinity pools go this has got to be up there and it's lunch time right now so that's why it's not grounded and I do have my own sun bed and two Sun beds in the water which uh they're a little bit uncomfortable but I tell you what oh it cools you down though staying here forever I can't afford it though I'm not gonna lie there's a lot of couples here which makes me feel a little bit lonely now as hotels go on the island of Santorini probably some of the most expensive are in this location of ear it's a very small kind of strip where a lot of the boutique hotels are you can be spending quite a lot of money per night by the way if you are liking the video I would really love it if you could hit that thumbs up it helps me out and did you know that only 75 of you who watch the videos are actually subscribed so if you see that red button down there or might be a different color make sure you hit it would help me out these steps so yeah there's three some beds here and spots for three couples so I've been very lucky to get one at the end there's a reason why I'm quite lucky is because all the other Sundays have been taken up which are up here but this is the pool and for some reason I don't see many people going in the pool don't know why I kind of like that it kind of goes into the cave a little bit there and I think that's Koozie so nice so from where the pool is um there's like a shower room here and then you get to go through um the caves which is pretty amazing and there's almost like an art gallery through here with loads of little bits of Art that you can actually buy but yeah this just obviously if you didn't realize it reminded that it's all in caves so if you're a bit of a VIP you could have lunch here complete with a chandelier look at the view you get some scene out here they've got a bar as well but you get drinks brought to you at the Sundance now of course you do get an amazing sunset here which hopefully will be good tonight so I can enjoy dinner which is actually served up here as well and what they do is they take all the sun beds away and put tables down it does seem to be one problem with this hotel and then there are loads of these little bugs around there's like loads all over the white there and they're attracted to White which is not great because the hotel is pretty much all white but yeah it's grease you do get problems like that before you ask no they're not bed bugs so for lunch I've decided to go for a Greek salad um some bread feta cheese tomatoes cucumbers there's even some olives in there no wine though although I should have asked for a glass of wine that would have been nice I love feta cheese though it's so good so Sunset happened about five minutes ago I've got reservations for 8 30 and I have asked to get a Sunset View table and I guess they're all Sunset View but we'll see what this looks like you can see all the boats there coming back from the sunset cruises foreign looks a lot different at night isn't it looks good yeah thank you lemon is very long after taste from algeros estate could be all 34 which is Winery 34th Century in the island is the search for wine this one is 2021. probably so this is a local white wine 18 pounds it's try it first wow they don't top it up much for 18 Euros to me this is a very very small glass of expensive white wine it's nice though so I did check how much it was here I think you might be shocked at the price of the food first of all there are a couple of tasting menus that I can do the first of which is 190 euros and then the other one is also 190 euros and with that you get some amazing local Cuisine like here Santorini salad calamari Lobster and a nice dessert I might just go for a main but the mains start at the cheapest at 45 Euros for pork what a romantic setting unfortunately it's just me so from here I can see theater and then of course ear which is see where I'm at so I haven't gone for the tasting menu but I've got this as a starter wow look at this I know that's beetroot that's I think crab or seafood and um I completely Miss what that is obviously I just use my hands I guess it's all in I think it's all Seafood wow that's nice not sure about this though I can't say I like beetroot I'll give it a try so that's a beetroot cone let's be true inside that was complimentary as well cheers so even though I haven't gone for the taster menu what they're serving me already is pretty special this is just the bread it gave me some local olive oil with a little bit of salt in there some butter and then this um bread it's warm lovely I don't know how well you can see it because of the light unfortunately a little bit of butter dip it in the olive oil anyway really nice I don't know how well the camera picks it up but I love that the stones there will backlit by lights it's pretty good so the main has been served Lobster in ravioli and uh we also get The Lobster Claw served on a tomato brioche bun with some caviar some more caviar in there as well wow this looks incredible I didn't get a chance to film it but the staff actually one waiter brings you this than the other waitress brings you this and tells you exactly what you're getting it's all done very beautifully let's try the lobster I've only had Lobster once in my life so I wonder if it's exactly the same the more chewy this one but if you've never had Lobster before it's fishy but it's also sweet if that makes sense ravioli's got leak and something else in it let's try The Lobster Claw on a brioche bun wow and the lobster Crow is always a lot softer really nice yeah I'm not having the taste it menu but this is given to you free it's a pre-desert it's basically a sorbet and some lemon mousse the idea is is it refreshes your palate ready for the main dessert it's like eating a mojito the drink there's lemon there's mint in there very nice this bread okay we are done the topic of cream with a dark crumb s and we serve it on the side with a combo Tech shopping food and we will add also the homemade ice cream with vanilla cardamom cake please enjoy thank you so this is the Tipsy Cake which is all homemade there's a little bit of Pineapple in there and homemade vanilla ice cream let's check it out the only thing I can relate it to is a bread pudding similar to a bread pudding I've actually lit it on fire in front of me it was a really nice touch actually more than just a meal it's like a an experience about this homemade ice cream is lovely wow it's the restaurant that keeps giving so after my dessert As a treat I give you these three Little Sweets that's got um uzo in it I believe that's salted caramel and that's got something like a biscuit Chinese chocolate ball wow definitely uzo in there and these all done from the pastry chef here we're back at the room dinner was amazing honestly I've never had that kind of service experience ever in a restaurant the way they served it was so elegant they gave all the information of all the food even though I forgot most of it as soon as they said it so let's break down the price of the food the water was nine euros I had two glasses of wine which came to 36 Euros the lobster came to 80 euros and the Tipsy dessert came to 50 euros a grand total of 175 Euros for dinner don't think I'll probably do that again and to be honest and yes I tried the lobster again only the second time in my life and I think it's a little bit overhyped to be honest it wasn't that great I thought it was a little bit chewy a bit like calamari so for all those Lobster fans out there although the lobster claws were a little bit softer but that Lobster that I had was quite dewy anyway with my wallet empty and my belly full I'm gonna go to bed I'll see you in the morning morning so let's go and get breakfast so for breakfast I get almost like a starter a range of pastries and breads look at that and a range of marmalades and butter also choice of juice there's about five different juices to choose I chose the orange juice out of water and uh for Mains I think I'm gonna go for the eggs so even breakfast was quite an experience there was a whole plethora to choose from on the menu but I went for the basic eggs and hash browns option so that was the Cannabis ear Suites it was an amazing stay the staff was so brilliant they all knew me by name not because of YouTube but they did that to every single customer which I thought was a really nice touch how they remember everybody I don't know there's only about 50 rooms that's probably why but you still got to remember a lot of people's names the swimming pools were totally amazing not many people using them actually which is quite surprising so let's start with the rooms most of them are in the original cave houses that used to be here mine of course was a pool Suite it was very nice ultra clean I was scared to get anything too dirty the bed was really comfortable the showers are definitely an experience and the echo in there I was singing all night long last night's meal was probably one of the tastiest I've ever had and probably one of the most expensive but I don't think actually I'll go for lobster again I wasn't overly that fussed about it to be honest and this hotel and some of the other cave hotels are actually a tourist attraction here in Santorini people come in to have their photos taken and then go pick out so I feel very blessed to have been able to stay here so how much did I pay to stay here for the night which does include breakfast 1500 Euros I think it was 1509 Euros added with the uh the tax that you have to pay when you come per night which is four Euros that's next to nothing do you think it wants the price it's lovely um however I think it's crazy to pay that kind of money for a room especially when you can only check in from three but obviously you can get to the property like at midday or 11 o'clock if you wanted to and enjoy the facilities which you need to do because if you don't get here till three you have to try and cram everything in as quickly as possible it's almost like you have to see everything could eat everything and experience everything like super fast so you can get the most out of it when you're paying that much for a room is it worth it do tell me in the comments please make sure you do give the video a thumbs up hit that subscribe button I'll see you next time
