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.

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

The 24hr WhatsApp concierge was insane! And so immediate! There was clearly a lot of thought in delivering our preferences, as indicated from the special dish that was prepared for us à la carte

Every detail is thoughtfully planned, from the complimentary driver service that makes getting to Oia effortless, to the WhatsApp communication with the front desk team who are always friendly, helpful, and quick to respond

To cap off each day, the hotel faces the sunset, offering a stunning view of catamarans gliding across the water as they watch the spectacle unfold. This is the kind of place I would happily return to year after year

First of all, this place is BEAUTIFUL!!! Secondly, I cannot emphasize enough how amazing the interactions felt from each and every member of the Canaves team, both from leadership and staff

This hotel is absolutely magnificent, with incredible staff, wonderful drivers, and breathtaking views. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever had a better hotel experience in my entire life

Exceptional from start to finish. Vasilis and Thanassis have clearly set a high bar, and most importantly, the culture they've cultivated with the team surpassed all my expectations

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

All staff were lovely but there was one bartender by the pool called George and he was extremely friendly and helpful and went above and beyond for me and my boyfriend!

The service staff has a great attitude! When the weather is good, breakfast can be enjoyed in the outdoor garden. The meal is delicious, coupled with the unbeatable sea view, it is a very good experience!

The hotel is built along the mountain wall, very special! View is great! But it is quite hard to go in and out by climbing up (out) and down (back), and it will be very difficult for people with bad knees or weak legs

The view from here is stunning and has the perfect sunset. I am surely going to book this stay again if i visit Santorini. The receptionists are really helpful. They can book activities, transfers and much more! Just ask

The breakfast options here were vast and all as good as each other. Waking up to a huge amazing breakfast every morning on your terrace looking out at the caldera is something I will miss for the rest of my life

Stayed here last week and my whole experience was honestly amazing, staff, food, amenities, views, location- such a relaxing hotel and would recommend to anyone if you are in Santorini you have to stay here

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

Moreover the staff were lovely and very helpful, we will definitely come back! (We were with 2 babies 2 and 3 years) we loved to have our own house and pool with all the hôtel services

My husband and I stayed here for two weeks. Our room was very clean and spacious. The outdoor patio area with pool was lovely. The food was fantastic for breakfast, lunch, and dinner

Sandesh and Pemba who work in the restaurant were amazing

They were alway smiling, accommodating, and very hard working! The driver for the hotel, Argyris was great! He is super friendly and funny! Everyone at the hotel made you feel like family

The staff is amazing, very helpful in booking our excursions and transportation. The food at the restaurant was fresh and tasty. Great place for relaxation and sea views. Nice villa, clean and spacious

I hope to return to this secluded peaceful gem by the sea

The breakfast is excellent, with enough choice for everyone's taste, and a special charm is that you can eat it with a mesmerizing view of the sea and rocks

  It’s quaint and a small (luxury) hotel, where you can relax without chaos! There is no sunset view of the domes,  Only small plus would have been if the hotel provided an hourly shuttle between Fira and Oia (the hotel is in between) as the bus only travels one way, which means you have to go to Oia first then to Fira, and then another bus to get to the hotel from Fira

The rooms are neat, clean and equipped with everything you need, and we were particularly impressed by the attentiveness of the staff – every evening we were greeted with bottles of water and small chocolates, and at the beginning we were also given a bottle of wine and welcome snacks

We stayed at the San Antonio Hotel and I can say that the hotel delighted us in every way. The location is beautiful – it is located in Imerovigli, but a bit secluded, which gives it a special charm and peace

The view from the hotel is incredible – so beautiful that there is almost no need to go to the city. It is enough to spend the whole day by the pool, enjoy the scenery and completely relax

If we return to Santorini again – and we believe we will – we will definitely choose this hotel again. It is worth staying there and enjoy the peace, view and kindness of the staff

Thanks for the services and there is a public bus stop just right infront of the hotel and also very near the caldera beach

Such a fun night! The pool area is gorgeous, but we were lucky enough to stay in a room with our own private lounge pool

Experiences – A traditional boat sunset cruise (Medousa) with Miltos and Stathis, horse riding in Akrotiri, exploring the Akrotiri ruins (get a guided tour and split the cost with others), and hiking up Skaros Rock for the views

There are a couple of little mini markets just up the road, and you can walk to the village where you’ll find Theofanis Greek Experience – an amazing restaurant with incredible live music, dancing, and yes… plate smashing

The staff here are something else – genuinely some of the most attentive and friendly people we’ve met on holiday. The highlight for us was meeting Eleftheria, who welcomed us like we were old friends

We stayed at Hotel Goulielmos for 10 days - which I thoroughly recommend so you can really see all of Santorini and enjoy what the country has to offer without rushing about, plus have time to relax

I was in this hotel for one week. I would like to tell you that it was wonderful experience. Beautiful place, nice beach, beautiful pools. All employees was absolutely amazing. Specially barthenders and waiters

Responsive & friendly staff who efficiently responded to room requests sent via email in advance, resulting in a twin room as requested with beautiful sea & pool view

It was nessesary to write review on this hotel. Hospitality and team of Kamari beach is absolutely amazing. To be honest, i never has such a beautiful experience as this. All staff is kind, respectful and communicative

There are very lot of things to do. Very nice beach, close restaurant and sports what can you do

Very warm small room and small shouwer cabin, the airco had to stay on whole night. One night was ok, the location great in front of the black beach. The breakfast was very good for Greek standards.

Loved our stay at RK Beach Hotel. Perfect beachfront location near all the action. The staff, including Petros, Anastasia, and the wonderful Alex, were incredibly friendly and efficient

You either get a wide view of Kamari below with the beach and the sea in the distance or the immense rocks that surround the hotel. There’s also a view of the zig-zag road up to Ancient Thera

A chopping board, and a toaster would be a good addition. Pool area is lovely! Staff were extremely friendly, especially our lovely barman and the cleaners

The hotel went above and beyond to ensure that my family enjoyed our stay in Santorini. The staff were very helpful, the rooms were clean and the views were amazing. Highly recommend

They also let us keep our room for a few extra hours on the last day, because our flight was later on in the day, which was so handy because we could go to the beach one more time without worrying about luggage, come back and shower and just get ready in peace

The hotel itself very clean with spatious rooms, great pool and just within 5min walking distance from the beach and lots of restaurants

I have never had that be offered before. All around a fantastic experience and I really don’t see the point in trying any other hotel if we were to ever come back to this amazing island
