We used the Estia as a base for our holiday and had a good time. The rooms and pool area were spotless and the staff were very hardworking and friendly.
The negative points were- breakfast consisted of bread and jam and tea or coffee for the full 14 days with no variation at all. The pool bar didn't open for drinks or snacks (or to put some music on) until 12 noon, eventhough you couldn't take any food or drinks to the pool area with you. If you were on the ground floor and a light sleeper you get no chance of a lie-in as the maids start sweeping the terrace and wiping the patio furniture ( constantly talking to each other) at just gone 7.30 each morning. The only bar here is the pool bar which was twice as expensive as some of the resort bars. Please note there is no lounge bar, eventhough it says so in the brochure.

However, we let none of the above affect our holiday. we sometimes cooked eggs for breakfast in the room and brought the bread down from the breakfast room.
Once Marcos at the pool bar turned up to get the music on and start serving, the pool area was great. Marcos was a mine of information and provided us with maps and recommended places to eat and visit.

The rooms were basic but were cleaned most days and you could hire a safety deposit box which was located in the wardrobe. The air-conditioning was also extra.

The location of the Estia was ideal. Not quite in the middle of the resort (peace and quiet at night) but a pleasant 3-4 minute stroll.

All in all the Estia was adequate and considering its price I'd say well worth the money.

Booked this hotel through Thomson's and the brochure advertises this as a small hotel with seven studio's with breakfast incuded.
This is not true, it is a much larger hotel and if Thomson's overbook, as they are doing, you do not get a studio but a room with no facility's.
The breakfast consits of bread,margarine,jam and dry biscuits and a cup of tea or coffee, for 2 weeks this was diabolical.
There is a road seperating the hotel from the pool and it is a bit of a rat run with cars flying past regularly even though it is No Entry one way.
There is a separate building that houses stopover passengers for the cruise ships and other islands and these passengers are coming and going at all times during the night and early morning.
Thomson's brochure advertises that the hotel as a bar, Not True, there is a pool bar that opens at 11am sometimes and closes at 7pm but there is no bar in the hotel itself.
We made the most of our stay at the Estia but we were lucky enough to have a studio so could make our own breakfast but beware, you may not get what you are expecting.
Santorini is a lovely place and we shall certainly return but not to the Estia hotel
