I'd sincerely appreciate advice, because reviews for the hotels in Oia seem very mixed! I have the choice between the following for 3 or 4 nights, and would love to know which is most highly recommended. We have 2 children (6 & 8 yrs) and so the swimming pool is a nice bonus at a couple of these. But only if the overall experience is also great. Help?

1. Atlantida villas apartment (some very bad reviews and some are glowing)
2. Rimida villas apartment
3 Aris Caves apartment (no swimming pool, but highly rated with only a few poor reviews)
4. Leandros Suites Traditional Houses (no pool and very few reviews on-line).

Thanks so much!

Because of some unethical practices by the owner/manager I cannot recommend Atlantida Villas at this time.

Rimida shares a pool with Strogili Houses. This hotel is about 15 minutes' walk from the village square.

Aris Caves is directly below the village square in the heart of the village.

I know nothing about Leandros Suites.

Oia has a new business, the Lioyerma Cafe/Pool. It's a lovely facility. So if you were to choose Aris Caves or Leandros Suites you'd still have the use of a pool.

Apparently many of the glowing reviews of Atlantida Villas came from the manager himself (under various pseudonyms).

Thank you so much for your insights. If you would choose personally between Rimida and Aris Caves, which do you feel is a better experience?

Many thanks!

They're both good choices, it really just depends on whether or not you prefer to be in the heart of the village or a short walk out. With children I would think that Rimida would be a better choice because of the pool.
