I think you do justice to this elegant hotel. So respectful and gracious. Obviously, this place is dreamy and completely worth it if you are a millionaire. It is lovely and money is to be used. If you have it enjoy it, and share it and be grateful and blessed. Thank you for sharing your experience. Please remember the victims of the Maui fire who are suffering. Mahalo and Aloha.
The lobster was overcooked, probably boiled. Maine lobster are the finest in the world and they need to to cooked properly. You fly to Maine and I'll cook you the finest lobster in the world. No butter needed. Bring your wife and I'll prepare you lobster every night you're in town. I can buy live Maine lobster for $5. .
As a Greek I would tell you that no matter how luxurious those places are, they do not worth paying 1.500€ / night. The real essence of Greek islands is their beaches, crystal clear waters, local food and not just fancy lobster for 175€ a meal. For anyone visiting Greek islands go get yourself nice, clean, cheap rooms at a village near the sea, rent a car and get around to enjoy the company of Greek people (who are very kind and hospitable), try local produce, buy some local stuff to bring back home for example Santorini is famous for its local fava beans and wines, enjoy the sea at a fraction of a price and experience the real beauty of the place. Why should somebody come to Greece and its worldwide known beaches and spend their time by a pool (no matter how nice it is) is something I will never understand.
I am disabled so going to the beach is not feasible to me. What you describe sounds like my lifelong dream. I dream of Greece and watch every video I can to see the thousands of beaches, food, people. I think I am Greek in my soul or perhaps another life. A resort that had an easy access to water and all amenities may be easier than all of the walking and stairs, etc. to get everywhere? I watched a video once on a spa there that has hot springs and specializes in arthritis treatment. If I win the lottery I am going there for sure. Then I will hire you to be my tour guide around the spectacular islands of my lifelong dreams.
I paid 30 Euro for a bed in room on the nice small familiy hotel in Tasos Island. And 20 euro for a dinner. But I have to say, the restaurants in Turkye are better.
Was it worth it? 100% . That is possibly the most romantic setting hotel and luxurious service I have ever seen in a review. I will definitely be booking this hotel next year for our 30th wedding anniversary. Thank you for highlighting it.
Don't take it for granted, but If you book in advance you might get a better price. Also you will get a better price if you avoid the hot season (July August ). Shoulder season ( May June September October ) is cheaper plus you avoid the heatwave (and the crowds )...
I think it can be quite easy to dislike RUclipsrs when they spend their time swanning around 1st class flights and luxury hotels, but anyone who has stayed in even one Britannia, let alone as many as Tim, deserves all the luxury they can get.
I dislike you tubers that act like experts because they visited a place for 5 days and give tips which are usually awful. Tim is great because it's like I am watching a bbc travel show his presentation is very good. He shows his experience and you get to feel you experienced it. No silly tips or pretention about him.
As a student I worked for a cleaning company and we put perfumed capsules into the vacuum cleaner to leave a pleasant fresh smell in the room. That may be what you are smelling.
The pool view is to die for. The decor is refreshing, the chair material (it matters)....the sunhats on the bed. The quiet lighting, the aroma is also very important too. 🩵🌱🩵
I've never been abroad in my life and never really been interested in watching holiday vids but I came across your channel when it popped up on my 'suggested' viewing so I gave it a go by watching one and then another and another. You go to some very interesting places and this was so beautiful. Maybe in another life? Who knows but I'd rate this now as one of my favourite channels to watch. Your videos are very expertly done and you have such a lovely personality too. Can't wait to see some more.
@@WalkWithMeTim Tims videos are so great, he puts all the energy into them, especially if family are with him, and of course thumper!!!!! enjoys Tims videos love Sandra from Nottingham
Truly stunning hotel . Your video presented it as a beautiful slice of heaven albeit a devilishly expensive one! Dusk scenes were so atmospheric. Loved the presentation of the food and everyone looked so chilled out. It's great that you review such a diversity of hotels from the worse rated to gems like this. Well done.
12:41 I just found you this morning. I watched your Dubai 1s Class Video. And I absolutely love the style you present your content. In what infinitiy pool did you hide yoursel..? Because I follow some traveller channels like Trek Trendy. But you come along with some more elegance and down to the earth appearance. The Luxury Travel Expert does a good job as well, but he does not talk at all. And younger people often doen´t respect the staff that services them. So this channel here is just lovely and super relaxing to watch!
WOW!!! I just discovered your RUclips channel today. Watching one of your videos led me to another one and another one until I suddenly realized I spent all day long watching your hotel / travel videos. The way you described your experiences at these travel locations made me feel like I'd actually been there!! I feel like I've gone on multiple mini vacations because the way you filmed these videos. As for THIS video... WOW!!! I not only love the layout of this cave hotel "suite" (btw I'd never even HEARD of such a place until you aired this video) but for me the selling point on this particular one was the private balcony infinity pool!! If I ever get the chance to go there I doubt I'd ever leave my room BECAUSE of that pool and the incredible view it overlooks!!! That private pool alone makes what you paid for staying there a bargain!! Thank you for making and sharing these travel/hotel/resort videos. When my husband gets home from work tonight I'm going to show him this video along with several other ones... :D P.S. I just subscribed to your RUclips channel. I look forward to seeing more of your travel/hotel videos!
Hi Tim, The hotel, food and view all looked amazing however at €1,500 (£1,294.87) for one night it seemed very over priced. I appreciate that some wealthy people will happily pay that sort money for luxury but for us lower mortals it is not achievable. Interesting to see though.
@@littlevoice_11there are some nice reasonable restaurants in Oia and you can enjoy the shops and the sunset. We stayed in Perissa which is much more affordable and only a short cab ride away.
Lovely views but overall too cramped and overpriced ! For that amount , all food and drink should be included . I’ve stayed in nicer hotels for a quarter of that price
Ironic that all the people who always say it's over priced..... Are always the ones who can't afford it lol. There are hotel suites in London Paris New York which charge upward of 10k. I think£1500 is not bad. Your paying for the location and view remember, luxury comes at a price. Or go stay in Britannia for £40 lol
Canaves Oia has the best location being slightly away from the rest of the cave hotels. That makes it a little more exclusive. The breakfast is amazing. It opened an even more up-market sister hotel "Epitome" on the side of the island where you can get the most gorgeous sunset view. For the price of a 1-night-stay in a luxury hotel in London, I think Canaves is a steal.
Thank you Tim for your bravery and due diligence scouting places to stay around the world. It’s like going in a trip I don’t have to pack for; that’s why I am a new subscriber!
A wonderful well designed cave hotel architecture... all interiors are so refined and though simple but surely elegantly made and finished. Amazing hotel.
I love Santorini, it’s one of my favourite places in the world. It is worth staying in Oia just for one night purely to appreciate the view if you can afford it but I intend to stay in places like Kamari which is on the other side of the island. The hotels are just as good, a lot cheaper and the restaurants and bars are decent. If you want to see Oia or Thira it’s just a simple bus ride which doesn’t take long at all and it’s cheap. Also the sunset cruise is very highly recommend.
I love the idea of a night of luxury, it’s debatable, as it depends on what we personally class as luxurious. I ask for cleanliness and an experience that elevates my own experience at my home. Watching your channel has inspired me to create a luxury hotel experience for myself and my loved ones in my own home…with a few upgrades I can do it. The views I have are privileged, the sun shines daily and we have amazing restaurants here with the class of service where you were served the tipsy cake and dare I say it, yes! Half the price.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Your way to speak a good english is very pleasant (I am french) and your sense of humour and your spirit are perfect.Thanks for your work
I stayed in Thera not to far from Oia. And it was amazing! But trying to roll your luggage on the cobblestone and down so many stairs on the cliff was a challenge. Defiantly worth it. I would also recommend staying on the other side of the island on Perissa Beach with the black sand. Half the price with an awesome boardwalk (bars, beach clubs, restaurants).
Santorini is a must go to for friends and lovers. Stayed here 2 years ago and it was just as described. The whole island is a paradise. Take the Sun set cruise, Private tour of the whole Island, Would I go back ? " YES ", every opportunity I have. Sail in from Athens on the Jet Boat and fly out to Athens five days later.
I was telling my family (that I am visiting) at dinner how excited I was to watch this that I saved it because I was too tired last night and I am still excited watching! Obviously I shared it with them 💜
I love to watch the videos. Tim is such a likable unpretentious person. I don’t enjoy staying in the high end luxury hotels or the chains but love the little local places.
This looks very lovely. And I can definitely understand why people would love to stay here. I even pictured myself being there for a while. Then I remembered that I hate sunbathing. I'm also single. So a few hours in I'd probably be wondering: Now what? What else is there to this place?! 😆
Tim the Hotel looked gorgeous. One week would cost a lot over £10,000. A little steep for us. Couldn't fault anything, your own pool woud be lovely. It was definitely luxury. Gaby would've loved this. Thanks for the flog Tim Xx
BRAVO! Awesome Vlog... I am grateful that you took me along to experience this! I enjoyed every bit of this blog including the cliff hanger... lol! whew... 1,509? lol
Amazingly you just keep getting better!Completely professional evaluation of an incredible hotel .LOVE THIS!You’re entertaining and handsome all at the same time! Love following you,Tim! Your devoted fan from America
This setting kooks stunning . The history of the cabe houses is awesome. Id love to have seen more of local life too! Your videos offer such great insight into this hotel. I think you offer a very balanced overview. Thank you , the quality of these videos is awesome
I loved this video as I used to work in Santorini for 12 years until 2012 at a hotel in Vothonos called the Imperial Med ( which was formerly known as the Dameia Palace Hotel) . If you fly Into the airport over Kamari with the mountain range to your left, the hotel is the first large building on the right . I miss Santorini and my former colleagues, thank you for the video. I speak fluent Greek and my ex brother in law is a taxi driver in Santorini.
I really want to have the Santorini holiday experience now!!! On my bucket list. I really enjoy ur videos, you are honest and make it easy to see how things really are. Thank you.
I've wanted to go to Santorini since I saw a 1982 film called Summer Lovers set there. I imagine that's the best hotel you've ever stayed in, and at that price it should be. Whether it is worth that much is relative to how much money you have, of course. I like the shower. My pet hate in a hotel is the shower curtain clinging to you, so when I remodeled my house I made a shower area of a similar size.
Wow what an amazing place, the views were absolutely stunning. It is expensive but you pay for what you get. You only live once, so why not live like a King for a day. It would be nice to take Gaby on a special anniversary just the two of you.
Very lovely. I went to Santorini last summer with my family. Stayed at the Santorini Princess Presidential Suites in Akrotiri. Talk about luxury and service. You have to give it a try. Quite expensive e but it was the last few days of a 3 week trip and we wanted to spoil ourselves and relax. It's absolutely amazing. As you say, service was 10 stars.
Beautiful hotel. Idyllic facilities . Loved the infinity pools and the apartment in general. Service sounded amazing as did the food. Great Vlog Tim Thank You
It’s always a nice touch when they know you by name. I often stay at The Lowry Hotel in Manchester and they always greet you by name, even just around the hotel. No idea how they remember tens of thousands of faces and corresponding names every year. I struggle to remember someone I met 5 minutes ago!
@@andrewholt147 would also need to be immediate. I pull up outside the hotel in an Uber, and the doorman opens the car door and says “can I help you with your bags Mr *surname*” He’d have 1 second from seeing me to say my name. I know there are people with a photographic memory, I guess the hotels purposefully employ people like that. Could be an interesting thing to research.
Now THIS I do like! That infinity pool! I could see Tim was in party mode too, in the shower, singing, working out how many people would fit in to it....😁Cheers, Tim, what a lovely place Santorini is.
Thanks so much. We stayed in Fira Santorini three times. We took the ferry from Crete as in those days we couldn’t fly direct from Dublin Ireland The views are 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 great memories 😊😊
Oh my goodness Tim. What a place and What a Price! Living like a King with a chewy lobster to boot! It looked wonderful & unique but you needed Gaby there with you to make it truly special. One day when you hit a million subscribers take her back there for sure! Great video. x J x
I tried a 5 star hotel in Poland (I paid around £160/night, a little bit cheaper than trying it somewhere else!). What I remember the most was the fragrance on the provided toiletries being so far above anything else I have ever had, 'Acqua di Parma', still got the barely used bar of soap haha. Didn't eat at the hotel restaurant and opted to go to a very nice place down the road for about 1/5th the price. The 'know you by name' level of service was definitely an experience, but probably too much for me, I'd just prefer a much more anonymous service (but I know the whole point is that you are paying so much extra for that level of service so I'll probably just stick to a nice 4 star if I want a treat in the future)
Absolutely gorgeous hotel. I think I will put this on my bucket list. Thankyou for all you do Tim, can't go to everything but its nice to see everywhere you go. Well deserved to have this many subscribers. of course I'm one of them
I definitely think it was worth the price! Just wow! What an amazing hotel, what an astounding experience! This must be one of your most beautiful videos! Thank you for sharing this astounding Greek wonder with us!
I loved this vlog. Always wanted to go to Santorini. Very expensive but I think for those views, that sort of luxury well worth it. Not sure about those bugs though, im still freaked out from the bed bugs!
Really love ur channel so glad it came up on my suggestions. Like how u stay at places which r very cheap then go 2 more expensive ones & ur viewers get 2 see difference of facilities on offer
Another great video. I’m liking the new variety on the channel. As for the price. Personally I would struggle to justify the price. But if I could afford it, it would be a no brainer. But - once you escape the clearly luxurious surrounding of the hotel, aren’t you confronted with a small town that is overrun with tourists. A couple of big cruise ships can discharge 10000 people into these very narrow streets. I was in Santorini last year and it is an area which needs to be seen, photos don’t do it justice, but sadly it can be swamped with tourists (although I did add to that number! )
Hey Gabby, I'd be asking why you got the £9.50 holiday in the caravan with a hairy carpet and fish and chips and Tim gets the luxury lobster and caviar, private infinity pool and £18 glass of wine in Santorini! Beautiful hotel, my absolute dream of a holiday.
@@WalkWithMeTimgabby missed out on this one for sure! Next time, take Gabby with you. You can afford it now with a half a million people subscriptions. ❤❤
Santorini is beautiful, just has now become a Tuber/Grammer paradise where everyone is just looking for that picture. The way it was formed, where it lies, its impact on Crete etc.. and the rest of the island too - truly stunning. Haven't been to Greece for a wee bit, but would love to find a quiet friendly spot to chill.
Absolutely stunning Tim. Your videos get better and better! The price was pretty much what I was expecting, it's a dream destination for sure! Thank you for taking me on the journey!
Love travelling with you Tim 😊 but this is really too expensive. You can book a week for 2 for this price…not as luxurious, but still pretty decent holiday half-board. Thanks for showing it 🎉
Tim we spend a lot of time on the island, family from the island and many still live there. We know many many reasonable places w amazing food and views. Quaint and reasonable. If you ever do an average wallets journey through the island we would be glad to show you around .
This was lovely to see as I have always fancied going to Santorini and this place looked amazing. The service looked impeccable also. It was very nice how they tended to your during dinner but without giving a pretentious atmosphere & the little extra’s they included, which looked fab. The room and pool looked amazing. Expensive but worth it from the looks⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️ Thanks, Tim👏🏼☀️
To be honest all I know about Greece is Athens when I went there in 2008 with my parents.. I was a teenage back then and didn’t enjoy, little did I know that Santorini is this beautiful, thank you so much for this informative video. A lot of RUclipsrs don’t go through details like you do
Athens is ugly. Greece is beautiful. Note to anyone not a multimillionaire. Avoid ripoff places like Mykonos and Santorini. Greece has hundreds of beautiful islands with amazing beaches and reasonable prices.
This place looks amazing and it's a privilege to see. The hotel's eco footprint must be of the scale, though. I'll never see the likes of this in real life, so thanks for showing me. It looked incredible ❤️
Very, very impressive. Expensive? As the cost is for the room, based on a couple, per person is not so expensive. But, you are clearly paying for the location and the exclusivity. Dinner cost: the additional 'freebies' are of course built into the price but, here again, excellent food and service. As you know, I always make a comparison as if it were to be in London, and this would be a good London price (albeit not with such a glorious outlook!)
@@WalkWithMeTim I think they were meaning that when you consider there would normally be two people staying there, not just one, then the price becomes a little more reasonable than if you think of it as a price just for one person :)
Tim, thank you for all your efforts and sharing the stunning & breathtaking "Santorini" Hotel. I'll definitely will love to visit such an amazing an extraordinary place knowing the view, room and food & service was absolutely worthy $$$ :)
Great video as always! The best way to book luxury properties is via a Virtuoso accredited travel agent - they will give perks that typically include early check-in and late check-out, a room upgrade, free breakfast and a dining or spa credit. Plus you earn points and can use status benefits as normal at hotel chains, which isn’t usually the case with travel agent bookings. The rate is typically the same as the regular flexible rate.
Stunning place to visit, beautiful setting and spectacular all round, when you revealed the price, the collective sounds were jaws dropping! How the other half lives, and you a couple of days a year.
I went to Santorini, by myself, a few years ago. I loved everything, even though I couldn't afford a room on the Caldara. You, my young man, must have experienced the time of your life!❤
Wow that was indeed an experience. However, I don't think that 1,500 euros was fair for that hotel to be honest. I'm pretty sure there are other luxury hotels that are much less per night than that. I can see how the whole thing put together is an experience, the service, the room pool etc. The food looked amazing and so was the view. I expect that most people staying there aren't staying for one night. So they wouldn't feel the need to cram everything in as you felt the need to. Santorini is somewhere I've always wanted to visit.
Whilst expensive, this hotel has a limited amount of rooms and can heavily focus on a memorable and exclusive guest experience. For comparison, the average wedding in the UK now costs around £25,000 for one day. That’s an average…
Hi Tim, sounds like they ruined your lobster. Ive only had lobster a handful of times and it's hard too describe how it should be, but it definitely shouldn't be chewy (send it back😂) . If you've had the massive prawns in Italian restaurants it's like that bite your after (a nice snap on the bite with a delicate chew) . I would definitely not give up on trying it. Great vid as always.
@@WalkWithMeTimthey over cooked it probably. I grew up along the shore my entire life. I know how to steam a good 🦞 Sorry that happened. The claws are usually more delicate but a good chef can steam the whole lobster to perfection.
As beautiful as it is both Mykonos and Santorini aren’t even on my list to visit and I love Greece! I don’t think you get that true Greek feeling. I prefer a rustic family run taverna away from the crowds.
Hi Tim ! Wow OMG this was amazing. Now this is lottery winning hotel. Absolutely beautiful it looked wonderful. Thankyou for sharing with us. Love to you as always Tracey 💕 xxxx
Hi Tim, as somone else had said below, I also came across your channel today and found myself spending the day watching lots of your vlogs, and I'd say they are right up with the best that I've seen, you're a complete natural, and as many people say, they feel like they are going along with you. I love the contrast between the likes of my shabby home town (Blackpool) which I ran away from years ago to your luxury stays like these. Keep them coming so I can keep procrastinating 😄
1,500 Euros for one night! And not even all-inclusive! Lord have mercy, that is enough to stay on a Caribbean cruise for HALF A MONTH all meals, educational classes, entertainment, fitness-centre, heated Jacuzzis, swimming pools, etc., etc., 3 to 4 buffets per day, 2 to 4 Main Dining Room (finer dining) experiences per day...ALL INCLUDED! The value for money of a cruise-vacation beats all the on-land options by miles....or should I say WEEKS. [smile]
Comparing a floating shopping mall to a five star luxury hotel in Europe is like comparing economy class on Spirit airlines to the first class suite on Emirates lol
Particularly loved this one, Tim. As others have said, you truly deserve it after all the cheapy rubbish UK hotels you've stayed in. Saying that, I'd love to see another worst rated hotel video...just for my own twisted entertainment, lol 🤣😉

I really appreciate this men love for hotel pools, shower size and beds its like a kindred spirit
I love the idea of a night of luxury, it’s debatable, as it depends on what we personally class as luxurious. I ask for cleanliness and an experience that elevates my own experience at my home. Watching your channel has inspired me to create a luxury hotel experience for myself and my loved ones in my own home…with a few upgrades I can do it. The views I have are privileged, the sun shines daily and we have amazing restaurants here with the class of service where you were served the tipsy cake and dare I say it, yes! Half the price.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Your way to speak a good english is very pleasant (I am french) and your sense of humour and your spirit are perfect.Thanks for your work
I stayed in Thera not to far from Oia. And it was amazing! But trying to roll your luggage on the cobblestone and down so many stairs on the cliff was a challenge. Defiantly worth it. I would also recommend staying on the other side of the island on Perissa Beach with the black sand. Half the price with an awesome boardwalk (bars, beach clubs, restaurants).
So far my favourite and most wanted to visit hotel. Thanks again Tim for your great vlogs
This is definitely on my bucket list of places to visit. Poor Gabby has definitely missed out on a romantic trip.
lol I asked her to come
Santorini is a must go to for friends and lovers. Stayed here 2 years ago and it was just as described. The whole island is a paradise. Take the Sun set cruise, Private tour of the whole Island, Would I go back ? " YES ", every opportunity I have. Sail in from Athens on the Jet Boat and fly out to Athens five days later.
I can only dream of staying in this amazing place! Thank you for sharing Tim!
Any time!
OMG...I'm in heaven. Tim, many thanks for taking me there! ❤
I was telling my family (that I am visiting) at dinner how excited I was to watch this that I saved it because I was too tired last night and I am still excited watching! Obviously I shared it with them 💜
Love that!
I love to watch the videos. Tim is such a likable unpretentious person. I don’t enjoy staying in the high end luxury hotels or the chains but love the little local places.
I'm going to Santorini in October, never been to Greece before but really looking forward to authentic Greek cuisine, I love Mediterranean food :)
I'm also going in October and have never been to Greece before either.
I am in Greece know and it's more beautiful in real life than in pictures.!! And the food is amazing..!!!
Since Tim is a RUclipsr and paid for luxury living, I appreciate his doing this for those of us who will never dream of it!
This looks very lovely.
And I can definitely understand why people would love to stay here.
I even pictured myself being there for a while.
Then I remembered that I hate sunbathing.
I'm also single.
So a few hours in I'd probably be wondering:
Now what?
What else is there to this place?!
😆
I enjoy so much watching your video, thank you for sharing.
Tim the Hotel looked gorgeous. One week would cost a lot over £10,000. A little steep for us. Couldn't fault anything, your own pool woud be lovely. It was definitely luxury. Gaby would've loved this. Thanks for the flog Tim Xx
BRAVO! Awesome Vlog... I am grateful that you took me along to experience this! I enjoyed every bit of this blog including the cliff hanger... lol! whew... 1,509? lol
Amazingly you just keep getting better!Completely professional evaluation of an incredible hotel .LOVE
THIS!You’re entertaining and handsome all at the same time! Love following you,Tim!
Your devoted fan from America
lol thanks, Tricia
This setting kooks stunning .
The history of the cabe houses is awesome.
Id love to have seen more of local life too!
Your videos offer such great insight into this hotel.
I think you offer a very balanced overview. Thank you , the quality of these videos is awesome
Now THAT was truly amazing!!
I loved this video as I used to work in Santorini for 12 years until 2012 at a hotel in Vothonos called the Imperial Med ( which was formerly known as the Dameia Palace Hotel) . If you fly Into the airport over Kamari with the mountain range to your left, the hotel is the first large building on the right . I miss Santorini and my former colleagues, thank you for the video. I speak fluent Greek and my ex brother in law is a taxi driver in Santorini.
I visited Santorini in 1992 when I went to Crete. Stunning place
I really want to have the Santorini holiday experience now!!! On my bucket list.
I really enjoy ur videos, you are honest and make it easy to see how things really are.
Thank you.
Loved it here due to the fact of the prices it keeps the riff raff away
I stayed in Oia a few years ago, and I was so excited I kept looking out of the window at night just to make sure I wasn't dreaming ❤
I've wanted to go to Santorini since I saw a 1982 film called Summer Lovers set there. I imagine that's the best hotel you've ever stayed in, and at that price it should be. Whether it is worth that much is relative to how much money you have, of course. I like the shower. My pet hate in a hotel is the shower curtain clinging to you, so when I remodeled my house I made a shower area of a similar size.
ha ha Barry yes that shower thing happens to me all the time in Greece the showers are normal so small
@@WalkWithMeTim Not only in Greece, Tim. It's a worldwide irritation :)
I've been to 20+ countries and Santorini is by far one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.
Wow what an amazing place, the views were absolutely stunning. It is expensive but you pay for what you get. You only live once, so why not live like a King for a day. It would be nice to take Gaby on a special anniversary just the two of you.
Very lovely. I went to Santorini last summer with my family. Stayed at the Santorini Princess Presidential Suites in Akrotiri. Talk about luxury and service. You have to give it a try. Quite expensive e but it was the last few days of a 3 week trip and we wanted to spoil ourselves and relax. It's absolutely amazing. As you say, service was 10 stars.
That is absolutely beautiful. Love it.
Beautiful hotel. Idyllic facilities . Loved the infinity pools and the apartment in general. Service sounded amazing as did the food. Great Vlog Tim Thank You
Thanks for watching!
It’s always a nice touch when they know you by name. I often stay at The Lowry Hotel in Manchester and they always greet you by name, even just around the hotel. No idea how they remember tens of thousands of faces and corresponding names every year. I struggle to remember someone I met 5 minutes ago!
same here im useless with names its a skill :-)
@@andrewholt147 would also need to be immediate. I pull up outside the hotel in an Uber, and the doorman opens the car door and says “can I help you with your bags Mr *surname*”
He’d have 1 second from seeing me to say my name. I know there are people with a photographic memory, I guess the hotels purposefully employ people like that. Could be an interesting thing to research.
Stunningly beautiful and stunningly expensive but Wow! One of these days, thanks Tim for suffering that experience 😊
lol
Now THIS I do like! That infinity pool! I could see Tim was in party mode too, in the shower, singing, working out how many people would fit in to it....😁Cheers, Tim, what a lovely place Santorini is.
Make sure you check out my island tour on Sun
Thanks so much. We stayed in Fira Santorini three times. We took the ferry from Crete as in those days we couldn’t fly direct from Dublin Ireland The views are 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 great memories 😊😊
Oh my goodness Tim. What a place and What a Price! Living like a King with a chewy lobster to boot! It looked wonderful & unique but you needed Gaby there with you to make it truly special. One day when you hit a million subscribers take her back there for sure! Great video. x J x
lol Gabys not bothered about places like this .. she's a strange girl
@@WalkWithMeTim my hubbys the same he would think it was too posh lol
Loved the video. The restaurant staff probably thought you were an inspector and gave you lots of extras. A great experience. Thanks.
I tried a 5 star hotel in Poland (I paid around £160/night, a little bit cheaper than trying it somewhere else!). What I remember the most was the fragrance on the provided toiletries being so far above anything else I have ever had, 'Acqua di Parma', still got the barely used bar of soap haha. Didn't eat at the hotel restaurant and opted to go to a very nice place down the road for about 1/5th the price. The 'know you by name' level of service was definitely an experience, but probably too much for me, I'd just prefer a much more anonymous service (but I know the whole point is that you are paying so much extra for that level of service so I'll probably just stick to a nice 4 star if I want a treat in the future)
I love it that your main course was roughly the same price as a weekend in Pontins. Great video.
Absolutely gorgeous hotel. I think I will put this on my bucket list. Thankyou for all you do Tim, can't go to everything but its nice to see everywhere you go. Well deserved to have this many subscribers. of course I'm one of them
Thanks Trish
I definitely think it was worth the price! Just wow! What an amazing hotel, what an astounding experience! This must be one of your most beautiful videos! Thank you for sharing this astounding Greek wonder with us!
I loved this vlog. Always wanted to go to Santorini. Very expensive but I think for those views, that sort of luxury well worth it. Not sure about those bugs though, im still freaked out from the bed bugs!
Me too
Really love ur channel so glad it came up on my suggestions. Like how u stay at places which r very cheap then go 2 more expensive ones & ur viewers get 2 see difference of facilities on offer
thanks, Helen
Another great video. I’m liking the new variety on the channel.
As for the price. Personally I would struggle to justify the price. But if I could afford it, it would be a no brainer.
But - once you escape the clearly luxurious surrounding of the hotel, aren’t you confronted with a small town that is overrun with tourists. A couple of big cruise ships can discharge 10000 people into these very narrow streets.
I was in Santorini last year and it is an area which needs to be seen, photos don’t do it justice, but sadly it can be swamped with tourists (although I did add to that number! )
Thanks allan, I'll have a video coming up around the island on Sunday
Exactly. Its better for people who can afford it otherwise you behave like Tim did and whine about the cost every five minutes.
Oh it's worth it!!!!! If I had the money I would stay a week and never leave the hotel. Love your videos
Hey Gabby, I'd be asking why you got the £9.50 holiday in the caravan with a hairy carpet and fish and chips and Tim gets the luxury lobster and caviar, private infinity pool and £18 glass of wine in Santorini! Beautiful hotel, my absolute dream of a holiday.
lol maybe ask here see what she says
@@WalkWithMeTimgabby missed out on this one for sure! Next time, take Gabby with you. You can afford it now with a half a million people subscriptions. ❤❤
Santorini is beautiful, just has now become a Tuber/Grammer paradise where everyone is just looking for that picture. The way it was formed, where it lies, its impact on Crete etc.. and the rest of the island too - truly stunning. Haven't been to Greece for a wee bit, but would love to find a quiet friendly spot to chill.
Absolutely stunning Tim. Your videos get better and better! The price was pretty much what I was expecting, it's a dream destination for sure! Thank you for taking me on the journey!
Glad you enjoyed it, thought it was a bit much for what you get like compared to Dubai
I’ve recently become a digital nomad and I love these videos. They give me ideas on where to go next
That is awesome!
Love travelling with you Tim 😊 but this is really too expensive. You can book a week for 2 for this price…not as luxurious, but still pretty decent holiday half-board. Thanks for showing it 🎉
Very true!
Tim we spend a lot of time on the island, family from the island and many still live there. We know many many reasonable places w amazing food and views. Quaint and reasonable. If you ever do an average wallets journey through the island we would be glad to show you around .
This was lovely to see as I have always fancied going to Santorini and this place looked amazing. The service looked impeccable also. It was very nice how they tended to your during dinner but without giving a pretentious atmosphere & the little extra’s they included, which looked fab.
The room and pool looked amazing. Expensive but worth it from the looks⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️ Thanks, Tim👏🏼☀️
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow what a beautiful place, and your well looked after thanks for taking us on your journey 🙏
To be honest all I know about Greece is Athens when I went there in 2008 with my parents.. I was a teenage back then and didn’t enjoy, little did I know that Santorini is this beautiful, thank you so much for this informative video. A lot of RUclipsrs don’t go through details like you do
Interesting!
Athens is ugly. Greece is beautiful. Note to anyone not a multimillionaire. Avoid ripoff places like Mykonos and Santorini. Greece has hundreds of beautiful islands with amazing beaches and reasonable prices.
@@nextwave1314santorini used to be wonderful but now it's too touristy
Professional as always nice one Tim.
This place looks amazing and it's a privilege to see. The hotel's eco footprint must be of the scale, though. I'll never see the likes of this in real life, so thanks for showing me. It looked incredible ❤️
Awesome! Great video. Enjoyed the egg in the nest at 12.46
Very, very impressive. Expensive? As the cost is for the room, based on a couple, per person is not so expensive. But, you are clearly paying for the location and the exclusivity. Dinner cost: the additional 'freebies' are of course built into the price but, here again, excellent food and service. As you know, I always make a comparison as if it were to be in London, and this would be a good London price (albeit not with such a glorious outlook!)
That was per room barry
@@WalkWithMeTim I think they were meaning that when you consider there would normally be two people staying there, not just one, then the price becomes a little more reasonable than if you think of it as a price just for one person :)
Tim, thank you for all your efforts and sharing the stunning & breathtaking "Santorini" Hotel. I'll definitely will love to visit such an amazing an extraordinary place knowing the view, room and food & service was absolutely worthy $$$ :)
Ive always wanted to go here ... this makes me want to go even more. I love Greece , the people and well just everything 😊❤
I think the hat did suit you! What a wonderful hotel. I'd be so uncomfortable in that heat but the pool would definitely help 🍾🥂
Great video as always! The best way to book luxury properties is via a Virtuoso accredited travel agent - they will give perks that typically include early check-in and late check-out, a room upgrade, free breakfast and a dining or spa credit. Plus you earn points and can use status benefits as normal at hotel chains, which isn’t usually the case with travel agent bookings. The rate is typically the same as the regular flexible rate.
Stunning place to visit, beautiful setting and spectacular all round, when you revealed the price, the collective sounds were jaws dropping! How the other half lives, and you a couple of days a year.
I went to Santorini, by myself, a few years ago. I loved everything, even though I couldn't afford a room on the Caldara. You, my young man, must have experienced the time of your life!❤
Wow that was indeed an experience. However, I don't think that 1,500 euros was fair for that hotel to be honest. I'm pretty sure there are other luxury hotels that are much less per night than that. I can see how the whole thing put together is an experience, the service, the room pool etc. The food looked amazing and so was the view. I expect that most people staying there aren't staying for one night. So they wouldn't feel the need to cram everything in as you felt the need to. Santorini is somewhere I've always wanted to visit.
Another good review Tim .
Whilst expensive, this hotel has a limited amount of rooms and can heavily focus on a memorable and exclusive guest experience. For comparison, the average wedding in the UK now costs around £25,000 for one day. That’s an average…
What a fabulous place - definitely on the list when I win the lottery! Wow! Thanks for showing us Tim!❤️
Hi Tim, sounds like they ruined your lobster. Ive only had lobster a handful of times and it's hard too describe how it should be, but it definitely shouldn't be chewy (send it back😂) . If you've had the massive prawns in Italian restaurants it's like that bite your after (a nice snap on the bite with a delicate chew) . I would definitely not give up on trying it. Great vid as always.
Yes I don't remember it being that chewy
@@WalkWithMeTimthey over cooked it probably. I grew up along the shore my entire life. I know how to steam a good 🦞 Sorry that happened. The claws are usually more delicate but a good chef can steam the whole lobster to perfection.
White + blue = looks Amazing 🤩
As beautiful as it is both Mykonos and Santorini aren’t even on my list to visit and I love Greece! I don’t think you get that true Greek feeling. I prefer a rustic family run taverna away from the crowds.
Hi Tim ! Wow OMG this was amazing. Now this is lottery winning hotel. Absolutely beautiful it looked wonderful. Thankyou for sharing with us. Love to you as always Tracey 💕 xxxx
thanks Tracey
Do you also have a cheap hotel review in Santorini ?
Hi Tim, as somone else had said below, I also came across your channel today and found myself spending the day watching lots of your vlogs, and I'd say they are right up with the best that I've seen, you're a complete natural, and as many people say, they feel like they are going along with you. I love the contrast between the likes of my shabby home town (Blackpool) which I ran away from years ago to your luxury stays like these. Keep them coming so I can keep procrastinating 😄
1,500 Euros for one night! And not even all-inclusive! Lord have mercy, that is enough to stay on a Caribbean cruise for HALF A MONTH all meals, educational classes, entertainment, fitness-centre, heated Jacuzzis, swimming pools, etc., etc., 3 to 4 buffets per day, 2 to 4 Main Dining Room (finer dining) experiences per day...ALL INCLUDED! The value for money of a cruise-vacation beats all the on-land options by miles....or should I say WEEKS. [smile]
A cruise is the very opposite of luxury 😂
Comparing a floating shopping mall to a five star luxury hotel in Europe is like comparing economy class on Spirit airlines to the first class suite on Emirates lol
Tim, you add such practical aspect.
Particularly loved this one, Tim. As others have said, you truly deserve it after all the cheapy rubbish UK hotels you've stayed in. Saying that, I'd love to see another worst rated hotel video...just for my own twisted entertainment, lol 🤣😉
Lol
Wow, this is absolutely gorgeous, I’m living vicariously through your videos!
