Above Blue Suites

First thing you encounter other than the amazing view at Above Blue Suites is the reception staff. We mostly had contact with George who was extremely polite, attentive, knowledgable, courteous and accommodating. His counter part was just as friendly. After checking in George showed us to our room, which was absolutely amazing, than gave us the layout of the property. We loved that this was not a big chain and had roughly only about 10-12 rooms which made for the staff to be less strained and all seemed to be very happy. The grounds were extremely clean and every room is well placed to allow maximum privacy. Our room was cleaned twice a day and we were provided with a key as well as a safe in the room that made us feel even more secure. WiFi is free and not lagged down, they have a bar open to guests by the pool and Breakfast was included with the room which your allowed to choose different options daily and the menu was extensive and all the food delicious. Each meal is served to your balcony a quick knock and enjoy. Once we got settled in we took in the view, WOW! This location is at one of the highest on the island and honestly provides the best view on the island, we didn’t even need to make the trip the the touristy expensive town of Oia. The hotel is in the middle of the island which allows you to be able to get to any part of the island within 30 minutes drive. It’s just a short walk down a walking path to the city center of Fira and you have direct access to skaros rock. The hotel is also affiliated with many highly recommended companies on the island for example we were able to have an ATV delivered to our hotel for 24 hours use and only 35 euro a day. That cheap considering an Uber to Oia or the southern beaches is 25 euro each way.

Excellent welcome, fantastic location with phenomenal views. The service was impeccable.

Above Blue went above and beyond in every aspect. From airport transfers to ATV rentals to tour and restaurant recommendations, everything was excellent. The customer service was unbelievable and the small special touches were unforgettable. Thank you!

- The staff were all very good at their job. - The welcome process, reception, drinks, snacks, etc... they made us feel like royalty upon arrival. - We were upgraded to a bigger suite by the staff due to their availability. It was a nice touch. - The food was amazing, and served right to you on your patio.

- The tub on the patio was pretty cold the first night. We didn’t check it until we got in for sunset, and by then it was too late. Friendly tip would be to check your tub right when you check in so they can make hotter. It still never got super hot, but was warmer the next evening after the staff addressed it. - There was a walking trial below our room, but we were still mostly “private” overall. I think given the layout of trails, it would be very hard to actually get a truly “private” balcony.
