"This was a great choice to book for first time Santorini visitors. We enjoy access to the beach which is why we chose this hotel. Only thing is the airplanes flying over the room at all times very low caused loud noise that would wake us up from our sleep. Kamari is further than Fira and Oia so keep in mind when wanting to visit them, cost of transportation is pretty high. You may be better off renting a car. Hotel was a short walk to all shops and restaurants which was very convenient."

"Room and location were wonderful! However our internet never worked and every time we tried to get the staff to help, we were told "you have an American iPhone so it's not going to work" which makes absolutely no sense. Then another time, we were told it's really windy on the island so sometimes wifi doesn't work, once again didn't really make sense as we were able to connect at all the local restaurants."
