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.

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.

The staff at Secret Gem Suites are incredibly kind, thoughtful, and helpful. They consistently reached out to see if we required anything, from ride transfers to breakfast preferences and more. We felt very spoiled and would definitely recommend anyone visiting Santorini to stay with them.

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.

The property owners were wonderful and helped us plan a lot into our short stay. They made us feel like family and have us an insiders guide to the best of the island. They were immediately available when needed and extremely accommodating and helpful. The apartment was super cute and in a terrific little fishing village- it made us feel as if we were on a movie set. Would definitely recommend

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

Stunning sunset views! We loved our suite with the jacuzzi tub on the balcony that we used every night for sunset :). Breakfast was waiting for us every morning on the balcony as well which we really enjoyed! Staff were excellent! Quick to respond and provide any items we needed. Overall an amazing stay and experience! We hope to come back one day and will be recommending this place to our family and friends! The only thing that is important to know, which was not an issue for us, is the walk up to Oia. It isn’t far but it can be a challenge for many.

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.

Very bad surroundings. The description was incorrect and deceptive. The area outside had dumped construction materials and old furniture. Our experience was terrible and our holiday was ruined staying at this property.

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.

Your Search is Over - Secret Gem's is Amazing

WOW! WOW! WOW! Secret Gem's is amazing! Everything about it is magical. The location is breathtaking and so charming (despite the stairs down - don't let that stop you if you can walk stairs uphill) We stayed in both The Yard and The Evolution Suite both were fantastic. The majority of our family stayed in The Yard and it was perfect. We so enjoyed having a yummy breakfast outside nearly on top of the sea watching the boats and sipping our espresso. We even enjoyed the fun spa inside the unit. Each bed was clean, comfortable with beautiful views of the sea. The Evolution Suite was romantic and Wow! The view! The deck! Amazing! Relaxing in the hot tub with a glass of wine watching the sunset will never be matched. I cannot say enough for the hospitality of Nick and Chris. Nick was always there to help us with any small detail of our visit. We had a disruption in travel for my husband and daughter and Chris even offered to give them two complimentary catamaran trips because they missed time in Santorini! Both Nick and Chris were so thoughtful. Your search for an unforgettable hotel in Santorini just ended. Secret Gem's is it!

This is a cute and comfortable boutique apart-hotel style property. There were great views of the water and the sunset from my room! There are several steps that you have to take to go down and then up to the property for drop off, so not advisable for those with challenges walking stairs of various heights. Most places in Santorini do only have stairs to access though. The tub in the bedroom was a jacuzzi bathtub that I just ended up not having time to use. One minor issue I had was the shower handle coming off and water coming out onto the floor when using the top water stream option. I was greeted at the taxi drop off and then the host, Nikolas, helped me with my luggage to the suite and then I just went through check in items with him there at the suite. There did not appear to be any lobby area. Nikolas was also very helpful in arranging for taxis, which needed to be called in advance since rides didn’t frequent that area. You can walk up to the main Oia city area, but donkeys/mules transport people on occasion, the stairs are inconsistent and can also be slippery - just taking a taxi is also an option. The rooftop was very nice. Tha safe is small and not standard size. For reference, it wouldn’t fit a shoe, but could fit a passport and oversized headphones.

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.
