Acqua Vatos Santorini Hotel

We loved this hotel and its wonderful staff and that is why I came back for my 2nd visit.Its a 3 star hotel and a little bit basic but Mina and all the staff make you so welcome and nothing is too much trouble.The location is perfect, its right on the main street where all the shops and restaurants are.The beach is right there too at the bottom of the road with even more restaurants and cocktail bars. Really nice restaurants like Pomodoro, The Steak House, Amelia's and further up the road on the right hand side is a really nice Chinese /Thai restaurant The beach is very pebbly and shingly but I am more a pool person .The bus stop to go to Fira and Oia is also up the road, 4 euros to Fira then another bus to Oia, 8 euros total round trip. This is a little gem of a place. :-)

Upon arrival greeted very well and the room had the facilties listed in the advert. Hair and body products supplied in the bathroom foc were good. The rooms were clean and neat. Separate towels were supplied for the poolside. The reception staff were welcoming upon arrival... though the last day, I suspect lead by the owners, was not handled well, as no notification was given on the website or by the staff the previous day, that the poolside facilities wouldn't be available ie padded sunbed covers, on the last day of the season. This would have made a difference at to where we'd booked. The room was highly lit, at times a lower light would be better, perhaps a lower watt bulb into the side table lights, or a darker shade to reduce the light levels, would be an improvement. Location, excellent. Good breakfast. Good local restaurants and lovely local shops offering something a little different. Close to local transport for travel across the island, which is regular and cheap to use.

A lovely boutique hotel in a great location. Mina and Rea on reception were amazing!! Always giving us tips for restaurants, places to visit and always had time to have a chat about our day. The hotel is spotless, as is the pool area. Pool towels given out each day and the sun beds were comfy. Lots of shade when it hit 40 degrees last week. Two lovely ladies cook the breakfast in the little kitchen and there is a nice selection to choose from. The lady who cleaned our room was fabulous as was the young lady who looked after the pool bar. First time in Santorini and we will definitely return!!!

My wife and I stayed at the Acqua Vatos for one night at that beginning of our 2 weeks in the Greek islands. I chose it based on proximity to the airport alone. After a disastrous trip ( see my easy jet and Idea Mobility by Yours) , the staff and location reset both of us for what turned into a magical trip. I went in with no expectations but was beyond impressed with the location, room condition, and amazing breakfast buffet. But what really defines the hotel is the staff. Mina is a treasure and if you are fortunate enough to meet her you will understand why I say this. After our LATE arrival and subsequent F**k over by idea mobility, she brought a sense of calm and competence that would be repeated throughout our stay. Convenient location, amazing breakfast , and superior staff has me looking at the other properties in the companies portfolio for our next stay.

From our arrival we were made to feel so welcome by the reception staff. Gave us some good advice of local bars and restaurants and also some good info of places in other villages too. No issues at all during our 8 night stay. Nice clean rooms . The hotel building looked clean and fresh from out on the road, 👍 Nice selection of breakfast items all freshly cooked. All staff from receptionist, kitchen cook, pool bar manager and cleaners all very friendly and efficient. Genuinely a nice place for our stay.
