Kamari Beach Hotel

Have honestly have to say this hotel has the most friendly helpful staff we have been to. It is set right on the sea front and you have access to free sunbeds and parasols on the beach. Beach is black volcanic stone and shingle, so beach shoes are a must! Sea was very cold but early in the season I guess. The pool area is lovely, comfortable sun loungers with no need to reserve, a bar serving food and drink all day. A games room with free pool table and board games. A gym (can't review that didt use). The small dining area inside and out is lovely, overlooking the bay. The food (half board) is tasty with a small but varied selection both a breakfast and dinner. We had a family room overlooking a courtyard, this room had a mezzanine with a giant double he'd, and our boys had 2 singles on the lower floor. Air con was needed as it did get warm during the evening. Room was cleaned, beds changed, towels replaced daily. We hired pool towels at 5 euro per towel deposit which is returned at end of holiday. Kamari itself is lively, the promenade has many bars and restaurants serving traditional Greek fayre and although slightly more expensive than spainish resorts we found prices not too bad. (Big beer at 4.50euro, gyros with chicken 3.50euro. Supermarkets are dotted about and again good prices. We bought water at 80cents and can of beers at 1.20 euros. There are bars showing football if wanted (Irish bar showed fa cup final). Taxi prices are expensive, to goto the next resort you are looking at 35euro one way. But, the local bus service is very efficient (2.40euro) we got the bus to Fira to see views, then another bus down to parissa and pavalis. From kamari to fira takes 25 mins. We also went to the kamari open air cinema which was excellent. 10euro per person but well worth the experience. We went to santorini for a wedding, and a small vacation, but will certainly return to explore more and would not hesitate to return to kamari beach hotel. Big thanks to the manager who even comes round to talk to guests! Thank you@

Very good hotel and friendly, helpful staff. They have great knowledge of the island and have bus timetables, maps etc. The bathroom could be improved as everything was literally hanging off the wall and the door wouldn’t shut properly (we had a maisonette, number 15). The bath was quite narrow to stand in for a shower. The room maids got a bit slack towards the end of the week (they are closing in a week so possibly very tired) as twice we had to ask for towels which weren’t left and toilet roll. Rooms are very clean and air conditioning works well. The breakfast choice is brilliant but isn’t restocked very quickly. Everything from fruit, to bread, to fry up, yoghurts, hot and cold drinks, everything you need really. Pool area is immaculate and a really nice area. The hotel have their own beach beds on the beach which are free to use - beware that around 3-4m into the sea, the bed drops away very sharply. You need water shoes for the beach. Beach is 2-3m away from the edge of the pool. I would recommend this hotel and would stay again.

Just back from an amazing holiday at this hotel. Firstly, the position of this hotel is incredible - right on the front with a view over the pool to the beach where there are free sunbeds. Our room was spacious with a lovely balcony overlooking the courtyard. The maintenance and cleaning of this hotel is first rate with helpful friendly staff. Air con was free. Breakfast was set in a lovely environment - either outside or in - with a huge choice. People who say it's basic - what do you usually eat for breakfast? Every taste is covered. Pool and bar area is perfect. Cannot fault this hotel at all and definitely plan to return
