This is a beautiful hotel - and not just the rooms. The entrance to the hotel, the lobby, the patio and the pool, the bar, the dining room - vibrant, tasteful, elegant without being pretentious. I loved the beautiful marble walkways and steps, the hues/accents on the walls, the decor. It feels good walking through the door!

And the owners, a brother and sister team, are the nicest people you'll ever meet! They go out of their way to make sure that their guests have a great visit. They are helpful figuring out the mundane issues to the more tricky - transportation issues on/off the island, luggage quandaries, getting around the island, finding a good restaurant, the route to Fira (by foot). They are helpful, resourceful, and just the nicest people!

My room was decorated in soft blues and greens, and included a lanai and a view. A big window let lots of natural light in. The complimentary breakfast each morning was delicious. Strong coffee (or tea), fresh baked bread, cheese, meats, eggs, cereals, yoghurt, and fresh fruit.

The hotel is located at Kamari Beach about 100 metres from the shore. Bakeries, stores, restaurants, and shops are nearby. And the black beach is spectacular, so different from other beaches. Some nights, fog rolls in. As you're walking back from dinner, you hear the water but can't see it. The black beach and the grey fog become one. You can hear the water, but it's not there. You walk onto the beach trying to gage the shore and step carefully, but not too far. It was mesmerizing.

I loved my visit to Santorini and the ACQUA VATOS HOTEL was a great place to stay! I recommend this hotel without any hesitation.

3/3 found this review helpful

We stayed in this hotel the week of our wedding Santorini September 2007. Its a nice hotel, the decor is lovely and the rooms are spacious and clean. The rooms are the best i have stayed in kamari. However, there is a severe lack of sunbeds at this hotel and i had one afternoon at the poolside out of a whole week! We had to use our visiting families hotel pool due to the lack of beds. I was upset about this as our hotel cost us a lot more that our families and it was our wedding week. The owners are very nice people who really helped us out with small things regarding the wedding. The location is very good as its so close to the shops, beach and restaurants so 10/10 for location and customer service its just a shame the pool area wasnt better

“Great Value, Friendly Hotel”

Acqua Vatos Hotel

10 Feb 2008
7/7 found this review helpful

My husband and I travelled to Santorini in October. George and Alina were accomodating from the start, George ensured us a late reservation double bed. The rooms are clean and tasteful, and breakfast was delicious. The location couldn't be better, far enough off of the boardwalk to avoid the noise, but a minute's walk from the beach. The inexpensive wine and the ubiquitous gyro make beach lunch cheap and yummy. Great choice for affordable vacationing!

We took a chance in visiting Santorini in mid/late October, and were unfortunate to experience unusually dull weather. We always make the most of any given situation and our experience was enriched by our stay at the Acqua Vatos pension/hotel.

George and Alina are superb hosts, and together with George (at least it's easy), demonstrate a tremendous love for their hotel, their island and culture. Nothing is too much trouble, just ask!

The Vatos is bright, clean and a character jewel in and area of often very average accomodation. Each room is decorated individually, and breakfast is a treat, served in a pretty room (and terrace weather permitting!).

If you require one of two special rooms - book direct as they can only be reserved this way. Their gastronomic recommendations were spot on. We must state the food and drink in Santorini generally proved superior to any other location we have enjoyed, in Greece - and Kamari has two of the best on the island!! But go seek for yourself...
The Vatos entrance is romantically lit each evening by lines of candles, delightful touches like this exist throughout, and make you realise how much loving attention has been paid all round.

Again a heartful thank you to the team for sharing their passion and island!

Choosing the right hotel whilst travelling with 2 young children is not the easiest thing to do, especially in Santorini. The cliff-side area was out of the question of course. We decided to take our chances on Acqua Vatos - No 1 hotel in TA for families - also looked lovely in the website. Trip advisor was correct again. Simply the best choice we could have done. This lovely property is ruled by two great persons, George and Alina who finally became our best friends in Greece. Their hospitality was supreme. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They make you feel like staying in their home but without sacrificing any of the professionalism that ensures a wonderful stay. The hotel itself is above the usual Greek standard of decor and the rooms were decorated in lovely contemporary colors. And the location to the bus stop couldn't be closer. The beach is just down the road and the first restaurant right on the beach is the best. Thank you George for your “secret tips” and Alina for your magical day-plans. We will return to Greece soon and Acqua Vatos will be our first choice. See you soon…
