Nine Muses Hotel Reviews

Nine Muses...First Choice..Last Choice...
Very disappointing, forget 4* more 2+....
who gives these ratings?
For the price of over £1.000 each for 2weeks, we was expecting something special, wrong, our room was approx 10 by 10 ft, with seperate toilet facilities,no where to sit except for the bed, french doors opening to a weed patch surrounded by shrubbery and trees, no view at all, with 2 plastic garden chairs and table...
One thing I must say is that the place was kepy very clean 7 sheets and towels were changed almost every day, well done the maids.....
The food! a reasonable choice to suit all tastes at breakfast,breads and cakes,cold meats and cheese,scrambled eggs, streaky bacon,frankfurters, and cheese toasties, all which were kept in a covered metal dish and were invariably luke warm...yoghurt, fruits and jam,but all kept on an open side table with no coverings from 7.30 - 10.00.....

Evening meal,apperitifs, plenty of mixed salads and dressings, once again uncovered and not kept chilled....
A choice of 2 starters, invariably luke warm, a choice of 2 main meals, i.e lamb chops (with a mouthful of meat) with a garnish of veg,this night was an absolute joke, the many nationalities that were eating there were all giving the thumbs down sign, and it was the highlight of the evening to see peoples reactions to what was delivered for the main course, and once again it was invariably luke warm, though we did have about 3 good main courses out of 14,once we were served Spicy meat balls that were stone cold and had to send them back requesting that they zapped them in the microwave, this was the first hot!!! meal we had...
A good selection of 5 deserts every night but once again open to all the elements (mainly the flies which couldn't wait for meal times)...
Wine was very exspensive, i.e 4 1/2 euros for a very small glass of wine....once again most people drank bottled water at 2 1/2 euros....and some people even bought there own in to the restaurant, personally I didn't have the nerve to do that....
The whole place lacked personality, you could hear a pin drop, although we did get some back ground music in the second week, which I believe only happened after many requests.....

The pool was beautiful, but once again it was like a morgue, hey we didn't want blaring music just a little quiet back ground atmosphere.....
It would have been nice to see a display board at the pool bar with prices, once again you were stung after ordering something, so you never done it again, they hardly had any customers.....
On one particular afternoon it was very windy,and a couple of huge gusts blew glasses and bottles from a vacated lounger and table they went with a terrific clash, the 2 male bar staff completely ignored the situation they were standing there doing nothing, after 5 mins I went over to request they clear up the broken glass, 5 mins later they bought over a bot water and 2 glasses!!!!we told them No..clear up the glass, which one tried to pick up with his fingers, we told them no sweep it up its dangerous, it will cut peoples feet, he reluctantly went and got a broom and dust pan and flicked it around, in the end we took it off him and done it ourselves, his remark when told to do it properly was Greek Men don't clean.....
I mean a pool area and bare feet.....

Our rep was less than useless, she gave us the wrong time for the welcome meeting, we turned up and nobody was there, apparently she made a mistake....
this was held another venue....
When we did finally catch up with her in the second week, and told her what we thought and showed her our accomodation, she just acted mute, with the comment well this is Greece.....Hey we have been doing Greek Isles for 20 yrs and have never had to complain.....
God I know it sounds like we are wingers but I am positive all companys that put there customers in this hotel received complaints ( all Nationalities )

Santorini, Perissa beach, and around absolutely wonderful, lovely Taverna's and food, HELLO to the wonderful staff of the CHARLENA a very busy taverna in Perissa, you kept us entertained with enthusiasm and chat and kindness to all your customers, Mike, Theo, Theodore, Shane the Aussie Lad, the best plate and glass breaker in Santorini....Give this place a try for wonderful food and entertainment, watch Mike charm the customers in, and make everyone special..they made our holiday.....
