We enjoyed our stay a the Winery Cave section of Aura Cave. The property looks exactly like the photos on the site. The rooms are carved into old volcanic caves which have been smoothed over and updated to form the bedrooms, bathrooms and a small kitchenette area at the entrance which was suitable for making some meals. The larger of the 2 bedrooms also has a sofa seating area and a TV. The caves were a bit humid but the owner did have good dehumidifiers in each room and an air conditioning unit at the entrance. The free Wi-Fi was fast and worked well. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were nice and dark to sleep in. The ensuite bathrooms were good with nice showers. Outside, there was some seating area where we could eat and there was also some chairs and lounges upstairs with a cold water Jacuzzi and a view of the other side of the island. Unfortunately, in mid-October, the weather was a little cool to enjoy the upstairs area, especially in the evening. The location was great as it was a short, but uphill walk to many good restaurants and lots of shops and bars, some offering spectacular views from the cliff.
The dehumidifiers were a bit noisy and we emptied the water several times in our 3 night stay. Since the TV was in the large bedroom with the sofa, it felt a bit awkward using this space as a common area, but as I said it was as described on the site. What was unexpected was that the floors were not flat and we had to be careful walking around at night in the dark rooms. Even though they didn't say that the jacuzzi was heated, we would have loved it and used it often if it was.

Enrik, an employee of the company that manages the caves locally, who did everything in his power and even more to save our holiday. Thank you!
5 is for the discomfort, for the night without sleep & texting messages, for not telling us in advance. And especially for the fact that, at first, they tried to convince us that we will be provided with a better accommodation, which was totally false. And to accept that basic room (the so-called honeymoon suite) as an equivalent to our booking. Only because we were so relentless in not accepting this deceitful strategy, to make us accept an inferior accommodation, they solved the situation.
I booked The Winery Cave 2 weeks ago to celebrate my birthday. It was paid IN FULL in advance. We were so excited with the idea of staying in a cave with a cozy terrace and jacuzzi. Two days before our arrival I contacted them via WhatsApp, they responded promptly, everything was fine. When we arrived at 01:00 AM, Enrik (an employee) was expecting us at the property. Telling us bluntly that we will not be staying in the Winery Cave, but in another hotel where they booked for us a honeymoon suite. The reason? The room was double-booked and it was already occupied by other guests. Instead of taking responsibility for the error and telling us in advance, they deliberately waited for us to arrive, since in the middle of the night there was nothing else to do but to accept. This shows bad and unprofessional management, not to mention disrespect for the guests. We refused to be cheated like this. [Please HAVE A LOOK at the so-called honeymoon suite - I attached a picture - and decide for yourself. A basic room, without jacuzzi. When I saw it, I cried my eyes out. Not a way to spend my birthday.] After an unpleasant discussion, we went to the other hotel - had to sleep somewhere. The plan was to look for another accommodation of OUR choosing the next morning. We had only 3 days on the island, so the idea of losing half a day to change accommodation was upsetting to say the least. We finally fell asleep at 4 A.M. in the morning. But before that, after exchanging numerous messages, Enrik promised he will try to get us another accommodation that will match the original facilities we paid for.
In the end, Enrik mended the situation – he moved us the next morning, at no extra cost, at a hotel located right next to Aura Caves, with matching or even slightly better facilities.
This kind of incident can damage and tarnish a reputation. Anyone can relate to the fact that, when on holiday, double bookings can be a major source of frustration and inconvenience.
