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.
