Hotels on first line in Santorini

Breakfast was great - Michelle (or Melissa) was a star; she brought my partner honey ginger and lemon every morning to help with her sore throat. We had a great sea and beach view from our room

The spa facilities let the resort down - for a 5* spa resort the facilities are restricted to two massage rooms, no indoor pool (the outdoor pools were very cold), no sauna, jacuzzi or steam room

Staff were amazing on reception and concierge - special mention to Georgia (I think her name was) who help make our short stay very memorable with her sage advice on how to fill our time. Would stay again.

Getting into the ocean in bare feet was challenging. Perhaps in your 5 year plan you could look at a boardwalk into the sea like they have further down the beach. Otherwise everything was outstanding.

We really liked the hotel and our sea view room. A wonderful complex with swimming pools, a great breakfast and friendly staff. We were very happy to stay here! I recommend it!

Great hotel, friendly staff, great rooms, great beds, low pressure water in the showers, great massage, great pools and nearby beach, very good breakfast

Not living up to the price We stayed in one of the sea view suites with private pool. The room was truly amazing, great view, comfortable bed and very good AC. Enjoyed the coffee in the rom and the loudspeaker

The rooms were in need of some TLC and lacked some basic necessities you’d expect from a beachside hotel with pool facilities—such as a clothes dryer on the balcony

The cleaning staff did a great job keeping the room tidy, though the mornings could be quite noisy. Being next to the domestic cupboard meant lots of chatter and walkie-talkies at full volume, which wasn’t very restful

All in all, I wouldn’t return to this particular hotel, but for a last-minute getaway it was reasonably priced, and the fantastic location helped make up for the shortcomings

A kettle was provided, which was appreciated, but there were no cups to use with it. Surprisingly, there was also no “Do Not Disturb” sign for the door

While the hotel didn’t quite live up to the pictures or expected standards, the location was excellent

The hotel is located in the black sand beach area. Although parking is not very convenient, the hotel's facilities, services and hygiene are very good. They also gave us a bottle of red wine, which was a surprise.

The hotel is very convenient and walkable to the black sand beach and many stores and dining options, love the location. Staff friendly and helpful... transportation thru hotel is very costly but dependable.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Radisson Blu Zaffron Resort in Kamari! The resort itself is stunning — beautifully designed, spotless, and only a 5-minute walk from the beach

The staff at the property absolutely go above and beyond and truly make it feel like a home away from home. The rooms where super clean and love that staff was always willing to help

Breakfast was awesome. Massage was equally epic. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our concierge, Hara, was an absolute joy to work with. We would return in a heartbeat!

Hotel was amazing. Would definitely stay again and recommend. The breakfast buffet was beyond expectations. Pool and service throughout the hotel was amazing.

Perfect resort a little of the main beat. Great staff, food and very nice rooms. The pools and the black beach was a perfect getaway.

When we arrived at the hotel we was greeted by the receptionist and concierge, our room was ready so once we check in our luggage was taken to our room, I had booked a standard double room and our room looked onto the pool area

Location of the hotel is great, walk out at the beach side and there is ample of restaurants, we are lunch mainly at taste of the beach just because lunch was beaut there but we ate evening meal at a different restaurant every night

Wonderful hotel. Soundproof rooms. A delicious breakfast with plenty of variety. Free sunbeds on their beach. Spotlessly clean. Great staff.

We opted for the pool near our room as this was quiet and chilled, the middle pool was the deepest of pool and this one you could hear music from the pool bar and then there was the small pool which attracted families

The iced coffee from pool bar was a win win for me , best 5€ I spent. We ate at the pool bar a few times, prices nice and reasonable and the food absolutely lovely, the pizzas are to die for

Out of town for peice although not to far to walk to main beach front

The breakfast was very nice too, it's not massive but it's a small hotel, but the food is good. Pool bar is also very nice, with nice food and drinks with shade

Perfect hotel to relax. Very clean, amazing and helpful service. The location was perfect, if you want to see more of the island you can rent a car or take the bus!

Staff were so nice! Always welcoming and spoke to you, wished you a good day etc. Breakfast was very nice and all you can eat. We were in the pool most days. Loads of sunbeds both in and out of the sun

Very friendly staff pool and bed just what you want when on holiday. All very clean and tidy good value B&B. Free air con free kettle free safe. Free fridge TV avaliable with smart TV selection

The pool is clean, and not chlorinated which was nice to not have the chemically smell after swimming. Every area of the hotel was clean and tidy. Having adults only was just what we wanted

Breakfast selection (something for everyone). Staff very helpful and friendly. Beach is right in front of the hotel across a promenade. Lots of shops/restaurants on your doorstep. Bus stop to Fira a 5 minute walk away

We stayed in a part of the hotel that there was no kids. This is a super quiet place, despite being located next to a beach and many restaurants

We absolutely loved this hotel and cannot fault it. The room and the hotel generally was spotless and kept that way by an army of wonderful workers, big shout out to Ervis, who is an asset to the team

Marilena on Reception, who couldn’t have been more helpful and finally to Aris on the beach, who was an absolute delight and tended to us unfailingly! Throughly enjoyed our holiday and will definitely be back! Thank you all

Towels were changed every day and the pool area is peaceful and nice. Water in the pool is little chilly. The breakfast at the hotel restaurant was generous and varied

This was our first time overseas and Aqua Blue definitely made it an amazing vacation!

Best white and shinning hotel with sun, sea, magnificient sunset view, very comfortable accomodation and swimming pool and lovely people and very important privacy and quietness! The breakfast in the swimming pool at your choice under the sun embrace is simply fantastic! People here are ready to support with agility and ideas and hospitality! Thank you!

We booked the Cream Suite with a caldera view and a plunge pool for our honeymoon

Our stay was amazing! All of the staff in addition to being attentive to all our needs, provided great recomendations for restaurants and things to do around the island

Every morning, we had breakfast brought out to our balcony table which was an amazing start to the day. The location was fantastic as it’s very close to Imerovigli allowing us to walk to Fira if we were feeling up for it

We were able to view the sunset from the heated plunge pool which was covered from view of other guests

It is in the best location in Imerovigli and the views of the Aegean Sea and sunset are the best in Santorini. You can’t wrong choosing this hotel

Pools and Sunbeds were always available. Great location for the beach, shops, bars and restaurants. Easy bus rides to wherever you want to go oia was absolutely beautiful

We went here as a family of 4 and it was lovely , very close to the beach , shops, bars and restaurants. there were quite a few very nice relaxing pools and they were not busy at all when we stayed

Having read some of these reviews I was a bit concerned about having to get up early for sunbeds. With four pools there was plenty of space I arrived om the 28th August left on 11th September

So I went to the market and bout large bottles of Mythos 2:50 euros Hotel is ideally placed a short walk to the beach no matter which exit you took at the front or the back, The ample restaurants along the beach were great and the karaoke bar the Love Boat was great fun

This was a more of a cooling off pool but still deep enough to swim in, a little further was a good sized pool deep with lots of beds empty. The hotel was clean, rooms cleaned everyday

I was going down generally at 9:30 am and if the main pool was busy as often or not it wasn't I walked to few steps to another pool with large thick beds so comfy

Great hotel very worthy for money but with big room, balcony, swimming pool, good service, and great location. Breakfast is great, various options. We love it!! Reception provide good service

Very close to public transport bus station and the city centre. The pool is extremely clean and a very nice size. The staff were very nice and accomodating

The staff was all very friendly, my room was spacious and clean, lots of hot water, comfy bed, nice table work area, pretty (but unheated) pool, terraces just off my room, good wifi connection, and a very nice breakfast in a sunny space

Location is few mins walk to center and bus stop, super convenience. My son very happy with chicken hotdog and hams coz he doesnt eat pork. This is a very great hotel I will definately to live here if I back again?

Truly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The staff were very friendly, helpful and the stay is comfortable and pleasant. The room is spacious and very clean. Baggage storage is available as the hotel as well

The receptionists were very pleasant and helpful, and enabled me to find good restaurants and activities, as well as watching my bags after I checked out until my ride to the port

The one and only knock I have on the property is the bathrooms in the rooms. They are in very bad condition. Showers leaking onto the bathroom floor. Sewer smell coming from the vent in the bathroom floor

The suites were absolutely stunning, the views were beyond breathtaking, and the location couldn’t have been more perfect. My husband and I felt like we were in paradise

Only stayed for 2 nights so we bared with it but would’ve been very annoying if we had a longer stay in Santorini. But that’s more of an ownership problem

This beach club is absolutely stunning, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was DAVID! From the moment we arrived, he made us feel so welcome and taken care of

A heartfelt thank you to Anna Maria and Ivan for their exceptional service—you both went above and beyond to make our stay special

We’re already looking forward to coming back, and next time, we’re bringing our family to experience this magical place with us!

Best location in my opinion in santorini!. Friendliest host that can make you smile and he knows alot about santorini and overall very fun ! This is a place that is clean, has outdoor pool with luxurious setting and bar

Had a lovely stay for 4 nights Rooms very comfortable and the pool area was excellent. Staff very helpful and allowed us stay late so the baby could sleep. Location perfect.

What a wonderful place to spend holidays in Santorini! Very kind, helpful host preparing amazing breakfast. Every day cleaning service and nice pool area. Can't wait to be there next time ;)

the villa room was cleaned everyday with fresh towels and bedding and the villa is a short distance from the beach Perssia

A fantastic family Run resort,on the more quite resort of perrisa. We've spent 2 summer holidays at the Anezina and 1 holiday where we had use of there swimming pool and sun loungers

the perfect spot for those looking to have a local feel whilst still being a close distance to the tourist attractions. My first time in Greece was made extra special by the staff and their warm smiles

The rooms and facilities were brilliant. To be so close to the beach too was a massive bonus. We spent most days at the beach as there was nice breeze. Rocky beach but smooth pebbles. A handy jetty to help get futhsr out

The staff are fantastic - so helpful and welcoming. The hotel has its own private beach and sunloungers, which is where we spent most of our time

However, we found there were plenty of available spaces around the pool and the decking area, we just chose not to relax there

I think if you're staying on the east side of the island, you have to expect some air traffic noise. That being said its a small airport, so it's not like there's planes taking off or landing every 30 seconds

We stayed here in August 2023 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rooms were clean, well furnished and equipped. The breakfast was pretty standard, but it did change every day with what was on offer

It's about a 20 minute walk into Kamari, or about 5 minutes and €20 in a taxi, that the hotel reception will organise for you. It is near the airport so there is a bit of airport noise

We had a suite, very spacious, well-equipped, and chic, with a fantastic large terrace and pool. The food was also outstanding, with a superbly delicious selection of dishes, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented

The Grand Ambassador Santorini Hotel is a dream. An incomparably quiet location with stunning views of the sea and the islands of the group

The staff: so warm, friendly, and always helpful, from the service in the restaurant to the reception and housekeeping. You feel very valued and welcome

The complex is superbly chic and beautiful, perfectly reflecting the typical style of Santorini. Here, you can relax and enjoy your time

Our room was beautiful and spacious with the most breathtaking view and waking up to that scenery felt magical. The restaurant was another highlight with delicious food full of flavor and beautifully presented

visited this hotel with my girlfriend in August and I can honestly say it was the best hotel we have ever stayed at. The room was beautiful, very clean, and offered an incredible view of the caldera

By far the best burger I've ever had during my 33 years on this planet we call earth! The patty was super juicy and perfectly grilled, again, the best burger I've had! I'm unfortunately unable to recall the name of the cocktail, but that as well was incredibly good! All in all, most bang for the bucks, just a really great place with attentive and respectful staff!

Furthermore, if you get a hotel on the caldera, you could have tourists walking by your balcony while you eat, relax, or cool off in the pool

While the menu is small, the food was delicious and the service was top notch. Both pools are beautiful and well maintained

We spent a large part of our Honeymoon at Secret View Hotel and couldn’t have been happier with the decision! The hotel is nicely located - close enough to Oia that we felt connected but far enough that we felt calm and relaxed

The staff went above and beyond the moment we arrived! Special thanks to James who was always a friendly face each time we walked out and arrived back at the hotel. Thank you Secret View! We hope to one day be back!

Comfortable, well appointed, clean, great views, lots of windows, nice bathroom - everything we had hoped for. The staff was warm and welcoming, attending to our every need - often one step ahead

Great location for family with beach access just 2mins + sunbeds in places. All in all, we had a great time at Antoperla & Perissa

Our room was amazing, even had a private pool to ourselves (located on our terrace). Central spot just a 2 minute walk to the beach without beach front prices

This place is a perfect mix of value and luxury. What you would expect at a 5 star beach hotel. Super clean, planned out and maintained. We were very surprised how clean and well kept it was

From the craft cocktails, proximity to the beach and the over all beauty of the resort this is a must stay location if you are in Santorini!!

Jetted tub and swimming pool not temperature conditioned, otherwise would have given 5 star rating

The breakfast buffet had great options and often left us full until dinner. The staff at the buffet though sometimes made us feel a little uneasy by being right on top of us while we were in there

They offer a pool and a hot tub but islands best beach is just 2 minutes away! Bus stations are there as well, however at night the bus schedules and stops are a bit scetchy

I usually think of beach resorts on our annual get away from the snow trips to the Caribbean not our European trips, however that is the best description I can give to our two night home away from home in Santorini the Iliida Odysseas Resort

There are two pools one with a large patio and pool bar, a jacuzzi (sadly empty during our stay) and a breakfast room. WIFI is free for guests and available throughout the property

As I said it was only a two-minute walk to the beach itself and the large selection of places to eat and drink there. There were two convenience stores each about a 2–3-minute walk away

It is located about 180 metres or a two-minute walk form the beach and the assorted restaurants and bars along the shore

The small reception building by the pool also had info on local tours and car rentals for those who needed them. As noted, there was a breakfast room in the rear the second pool and continental breakfast was included

what a fantastic break, great location, close to the beach and lovely local eateries, Although the airport is very close it is not exactly Heathrow. Breakfast and the food from their menu was very good

A very nice hotel close to the beach and all the good restaurants will come back again. Definitely the staff is wonderful especially the morning breakfast crew made me feel very welcome.

Perfect location, great pool, spotlessly clean. Breakfast was the standard selection, gym was average - not much kit and treadmill didn’t work. Staff were great, drinks good. The planes overhead are not an issue at all

Breakfast is basic but plentiful , bar staff member (george) was always helpful 👌 pool bar is expensive for food and drinks can take your own around the pool some days if on a budget though

Hotel itself is lovely ,pool area beautiful and plenty of sun lounges , they do not reserve beds if people do and are not seen the lifeguard will take away the towels

Beautiful hotel in a wonderful location. This hotel is so nice, all the staff are so friendly and we leave feeling very well looked after

I don't mind about the pool is sea water, but I can only take a salty water bath. Positive thinking is it's good for my skin. if you like real sea water, you can take a walk to the famous black sand beach

The hotel was beautiful and clean as was the pool area. The food was a buffet with a lovely selection something everyday delicious and fresh thankyou Denis the chef

There are a lot of bars and restaurant there for you and your friends to have a nice time. Also, Sunrise at the beach was beautiful

Special mention to the staff Mariana,Elisavet,Vasilini,Cina,Elpnvn, Ahmed and Nikos. Sorry for anyone I have not mentioned. The barman makes the best aperol spritz I have ever tasted sorry I did not get your name

This was a solo journey to Santorini I was made welcome at the 9 muses straight away with a welcome drink of sparkling wine. Nothing was too much for the staff who were friendly and efficient a rare combination

On the negative some areas could do with an update. Bathrooms in the standard room walk in shower maybe?. And the spa area especially the jacuzzi

The hotel was great location for walking into Fira town. On arrival we got an upgrade to a room with private pool. All the staff were extremely helpful especially Maria who showed us the scenic route into town

There is plenty of free parking and it’s an easy walk to Fira city center with all the shopping, seating and night life. The bus stop is also very close to the bus stop

The hotel itself is stunning: perched perfectly with breathtaking views, immaculate rooms, and a pool area that feels like paradise

The room we had effectively had a private pool and was exceptionally clean with great air conditioning and also looked brand new

The gym is ok but some of the machines are a bit outdated and rusty. Small negative things: the one young worker that was at the restaurant and pool bar needs some training on social skills or maybe costumer service

They also organized shuttle to the airport for 30€ two persons. We ate one time dinner at the restaurant and the food was good. The pool bar has good cocktails

We managed to get an upgrade with our room at check in which meant we had a room with its own small pool, which was such a lovely surprise! The staff were so helpful, polite and attentive especially the manager, I really don’t have any bad comments about this hotel! I would definitely recommend

From the moment we arrived everyone was very friendly and really keen to assist us , carrying our bags to our room and making sure we were happy

Less than 5 minutes walk from the beach & town center & about 8 minutes to the bus stop so location was great

First time in Santorini and so glad I stayed here. Location was great, plenty of restaurants, bars and little shops we were able to walk to

Breakfast was plentiful with loads of hot and cold choice and open till 10. It’s literally a 2 minute walk to the beach , bars and restaurants, with most bars supplying sunbeds if you buy drinks from the

balcony overlooking one of pools a car park with sea in distance. might have been easier to have bed made up for 2 rather than singles but we could have asked. Cleaners in every day sorting towels making beds
