The reviews we have read are quite out dated, our stay at the Santorini Image was great.
The staff were helpful with any request we had of them, the rooms are very spacious with a shower and bath, no smells and the room was cleaned daily. There is still no mini bar in the rooms but a 2 minute walk to either the pool bar or foyer bar fixes that problem.
The restaurant was superb and the food now comes with labels. It is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner all self serve buffet with the option to only buy the meal/s that you want (al a carte). The chef is a genius with the food he prepared and he offered a diverse variety of dishes, if a selection was running low there was already a fresh batch being cooked. The only suggestion we would make is if you get the opportunity to purchase the meals as part of a package we would recommend this.
If you contact the hotel in advance they will organise a driver to pick you up from the airport and bring you back to the hotel at no extra charge, we weren't aware of this until departing and the staff were kind enough to drive us to the airport at 5:30 in the morning for an early flight.
The location is handy as it is only 5 minutes from the airport and Fira town centre and about 15 minutes drive to the beach. We can't comment on the public transport as we hired a quad bike which we would definitely recommend.
It does appear to be a European retreat but we're from Australia and found the staff to speak good English and found the place very welcoming.
