I always wanted to go to Santorini, but every time my family and I travelled to Greece it was not possible. On my last trip, I was able to go for a few days and it was fantastic.

I don't have to tell you how beautiful Santorini is but in the area of Kamari, it is truly a sight to see. It is where the footpath meets the incredibly blue sea. This area is full of hotels and very friendly locals walking along the black sand.

During my stay, I found myself in front of Crystal Blue Suites and decided to book a room. The building had beautiful furnishings and was full of people sitting and having their coffees, outlooking the sea and the sun. My room was spotless and had a perfect view of Santorini's clear blue landscape.

The staff were able to answer all of my questions. I was able to make my own coffee and breakfast using their facilities. The hotel manager Vasili was able to organise all of my day trips and allowed me to explore the island with a group of people. If you want to try amazing Greek cuisine, the owners Katerina and Costi will provide suggestions or direct you to the hotel cook. Their breakfast buffet was included in my booking price and was also very extensive. The bar is great for having a drink and looking out at the sea at night.

The most beautiful part of the hotel is its σπιτάκι (spitáki/little house) which is next to the main building where guests can also stay. Through its blue door, you will find a different kind of beauty that transports you back in time to ancient Greece (particularly with the design of the windows) while having the comfort of a modern life. A saucepan belonging to the owner's grandmother hangs in the house, giving you a warm welcome.

Thank you for reading my very long review, I probably made you tired. I hope this can inspire you to visit the hotel and the beautiful island of Santorini when you have the chance.

A very relaxing holiday with the most wonderful staff

This hotel is a gem for anyone looking for :

-a clean, quaint hotel
-a personalized experience with amazing service from all the members of the staff
-access to a lovely swimming pool while being literally 40 feet from the Mediterrean sea
-Amazing view 
-Access to a bunch of stores and restaurants from the Kamari Boardwalk.

Seriously, the staff and overall service level was perfect. No complaints at all. The staff will even handle any reservations you'd like to make, especially if you decide to go to Oia or Fira. It's the same as having a butler, which is exactly what we needed.

Thank you Vassilis and thank you team.

Perfect Gem in Kamari

What a place! The staff is what makes this already wonderful and unique hotel!! It's located on the beach walk promenade which is not accessible by taxis, so if you arrange airport collection via the hotel, you are dropped on a parallel road behind, but fear not, a staff member will be waiting for you there, at hand to help you with all your luggage, wish you a warm welcome etc. Couldn't fault that first impression. The hotel is clean, quaint, with great amenities. They give you towels for their sunbeds which are FREE and their own and very comfortable. There's a buzzer at every set of sunbeds: ring it and a waiter will take a food/drinks order and bring it to you on the beach. The room was spacious, well airconditioned, terrace with seating, etc. The star of the show is its restaurant "Melitis" which also houses the hotel outdoor bar. Proper daily specials (i.e. not crap they couldn't sell but freshly caught fish) and a vast array of great choices!The breakfast is also excellent. The main bar manager Anton(is) is truly someone that should be the blueprint for everyone working in hospitality. A man well educated and travelled, this Canadian Greek that came over to the island back in the mid-90s after giving up a very successful career as a scientist, and is truly a fascinating man, a walking encyclopaedia of all things Santorini and much more. Anton is definitely the Oracle of Kamari! If you like a place that is very welcome, not overrun by rowdy youth or Instagrammers (you won't find those places in Kamari anyway) but by interesting co-visitors and guests, a place that has fantastic hospitality, wonderful staff and food, then this hotel is for you! if I could give it six stars if I could!

The service and staff that every hotel would wish they had! Just excellent!

The hotel is in a perfect location right on the beach and close to all local restaurants and bars.
The hotel’s beach front restaurant/bar offered excellent selection of food including breakfast buffet, lunch and dinner along with large cocktail menu.
Ample sunbeds for number of guests – you do not need to reserve a sunbed early in morning like many larger hotels and so nice to have cocktails delivered to your sunbed.
All managers and staff were so friendly and helpful and offered great customer service all the time.
Would definitely recommend and will return.
Thank you to everyone for such an enjoyable stay.

Perfect holiday!!

The room we booked was right on the boardwalk and had a small kitchen, a big patio and a very welcome laundry machine. The room is comfortable. The location is great for being on the beach and we appreciated the hotel beach chairs. It takes awhile to get anywhere on the island from here except the airport. The front of hotel staff are welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was ok. Not as good as the other two Greek island villas we stayed at nor the hotel in Paris we stayed at on this trip. The food seems uninspired and the eggs were just ok. The coffee is poor. The owner or partner who runs the kitchen (who immigrated to Greece from Montreal) shocked us by saying Canada is a fascist country, this after spouting off for over 1/2 hour to the table next to us about how he deals with customer complaints. He needs to stop! The service in the breakfast room was subpar on day one and passable on day 2. The server is curt and seems unhappy.  Perhaps it is nearing the end of tourist season. The hotel did offer for us to use the shower room and store our luggage until our later departure time. Thanks for this!
