Would definitely visit again
Pros:

Absolutely loved this hotel and it's excellent staff. From the minute we were welcomed in from our late night flight, we were taken such good care of by everyone from reception to cleaners to barman at the pool. This hotel far exceeded our expectations with fabulous views, lovely pool area, short walk to kamari beachfront and the best staff

Cons:

It took a minute to get used to pool temperature - first world problems

Pros:

Really great property for the price. 5 minute walk to Kamari village, bus stop for Fira 2 min walk away.
Very clean, good choice for breakfast. Bathroom was huge and all bathroom facilities on site were exceptionally clean. But the best part of our stay was the staff, really amazing.

Cons:

Shower in the bathroom could be changed to an overhead, could not get the head of the shower to stay in place.Stayed in the open plan apartment and the fridge was a little noisy.

Great hotel for families in Kamari
Pros:

- I think the location is great for a couple with a child, as the hotel is located less than 10min by foot from the beach area. Therefore, it avoids the noise at night due to the restaurants and clubs, but is not too far to need transportation.
- In addition, to highlight the nice facilities, including a pool for adults and kids, beautiful main hall with typical Greek decoration and very kind staff, all speaking English fluently.
- The room was spacious, with AC, useful during hot temperatures.
- Breakfast was also very satisfactory with enough food and drinks.
- Last but not least, I would like to refer the fact that the hotel accepted both a late check-in and an early check-out due to flight times, and provided a breakfast-to-go with enough food for our family.

Cons:

- I believe these are common issues in the area, but definitively something not pleasant, so I think I should refer here:
a) The water coming from the pipes, onto the washing basin and the shower corner, is salty.
b) It is forbidden to flush the toilet paper.
- The airport is close to the hotel, so sometimes during the take-off it becomes a bit loud (intense low frequencies), but bearable.
- We found it hard to dehumidify the bathroom, as it lacked a ventilation fan.
- I was a bit surprised with the lack of fresh fruit options for the breakfast. There was a jar with fruit salad, but not individual fruits.

A pleasant relaxing few days, would happily stay again.
Pros:

Air conditioning was excellent. The room we booked was very spacious and comfortable, and had its own little fridge. Breakfast was nice but needed some more fruit and variety and was the same each day but we didn’t mind. The location was super handy, only 10 min walk from kamari beach and close to the outdoor cinema. The property was quiet, even with being close to the airport but was no bother at all. The pool was wonderful - salty, and big enough for both couples and family to enjoy.

Cons:

The wifi was patchy, best by the pool but we did get signal in our room at times. Pool hours were a bit disappointing 10am-7pm, would’ve loved to stay in later/go early if we wanted to. Breakfast was also only 8-10am so we missed our last one due to an early ish flight. Great that we had two TVs but due to wifi couldn’t connect to streaming services or cast from our phones. Water from all taps is salty which we found out on arrival but it meant we had to stock up on bottled water most days.

Exceptional!
Pros:

The property is lovely and offers excellent value for money. It has a large, well-maintained swimming pool, perfect for relaxing. The room was very clean, cozy, and equipped with all the amenities we needed.

I definitely recommend staying in Kamari and renting a car to explore the island. The location is great, especially considering the reasonable price. The property is also very close to the beach and within walking distance of the many restaurants and cafés along the seafront promenade.

Overall, a very pleasant stay and a great choice for anyone visiting Santorini!

Cons:

The breakfast is very good and offers a nice variety of options. However, the selection is the same every day, so a little more variation from one day to another would make it even better, especially for longer stays.
