In fact I will say this about ALL staff at this hotel, they are ALL lovely to chat to and are friendly..
We were shown to pur room and we were lucky to be upgraded with a room that had a hot tub on the balcony. The hot tub was amazing!!!!
Parking is free, but out on the street, a 1 min walk away. The hotel does not have any specific parking on the front.
Breakfast was as plentiful and if you want fresh eggs cooked it was no trouble for this to be done.
The grounds of the hotel were spotless, inviting and comfortable. The sun beds had soft cushions on them.
Towels were available in a little basket by the pool bar, just help yourself.
Our room itself had a huge Queen size bed, and above was a messimeine with 2 single beds, which we did not need as only 2 of us.
There is a small kitchen area, with a hob, sink and fridge, kettle and plates, glasses and cups & cutlery.
There is a sofa and flat screen tv. Plenty of plug sockets dotted around the room.
There was a small balcony with table and 2 chairs.
The balconies in some appts were larger than ours, but it was fine for our needs.
We did not see or go to any inside pool/spa area so cannot comment on this.
There are 2 supermarkets to the left as you come out the hotel, one was 24 hour.
The beach area is a 3-4 min walk away, where there are bars and restaurants all the way along the beach coast of at least 2km.
The outdoot pool was cold, but we never used it as had a hot tub.
The hotel is peaceful within the grounds and is just divine. You might hear the odd plane while outside, coming down to land, but its minimal and never bothered us.
All is all it is a place I would certainly want to come again, a great base to stay in.
Tamarix del Mar Suites is a real oasis with wonderful staff, clean and well-equipped apartments, and beautifully kept grounds.
The location is ideal for the restaurants bars and activity of Kamari's beachfront life whilst the hotel itself felt a million miles away from the bustle of the seafront - a place of real calm and relaxation.
Breakfasts were plentiful, ever-changing and catered for our vegetarian needs. I believe they also prepare things to order should you wish - though we never felt the need to ask.
The staff are always at hand to help or to offer suggestions.
Taking the short stroll to the beach for sunrise swims is a must - as is a trip to the other side of the island for its sunset views (buses are frequent, cheap and swift, if a little busy)
Arrived about 9pm quite and we were taken to the small outside bar and given a welcome drink of our choice. Checked in quickly when we were ready.
The room/suite was immaculate. It had an outside seeting area and large inside lunge area. Thick large white fluffy towels and fresh white, quality bed linen. Toiletries, 2 large bottles of water, crockery and glasses and a good, cold, full sized fridge. Every day all the bed linen and towels were changed and any questions were always answered promptly. Pool towels were available all day every day.
There were a relatively small set of suites so it was lovely and peaceful and you really did get personal service. The breakfast selection was brilliant. Fruit, yoghurt, cakes, breads,savouries, cheese, ham etc a range of cooked breakfast choices every day and omlettes to order (which were superb) . Fresh ground coffee and a variety of teas and juices. Could not ask for more. Breakfast was also available until 11am if you needed a lie in or a dip in the pool first.
Only criticism was that because I visited with my adult son, we requested a twin room as opposed to a double . As a result the beds were extremely hard even painful to my shoulder and hips, as the double mattress top had been removed. It was put back on after we checked out but as a result the beds were like boards.
We hired a car from the rental place next door which were very helpful and reasonably priced. In 2 days we visited almostb all of the island and had a wonderful holiday. Lots of local excellent restaurants. Ask at reception. I would most definitely recommend these suites. After check out we had full access to a shower and all the facilities.



The breakfast is lovely, plentiful and varied. I’d recommend asking them to cook you an omelette. They are really tasty. It is a very relaxed hotel, no rush for sunbeds and the pool is quiet. There are only 26 sunbeds round the pool (not enough for everyone) but some people use their terrace etc and it never seems to be an issue. One area for improvement in my view (resulting in 4 and not 5 stars) is the lack of atmosphere at the pool bar. It is only open 12 until 6 and then opens again in the evening 8-10pm. We really enjoy coming back to our hotel for a drink but it’s dead at night. If the bar was open for longer hours, I think it would help. The music at the bar is also dreadful- it’s like a dull 50’s style jazz that is played very quietly. I’ve spoken to other guests who have been here before and they said it has certainly changed as it never used to be like that. Recommendations for food whilst here would include Prince and Poseidon on the front. When you leave the hotel and walk to the beachfront, we found the busier and better bars and restaurants to be a 10 minute walk. That end is a bit more lively and the bars are beautiful- we liked voodoo. Another must is the Cretan bakery, 2 minute walk from the hotel as you walk to the beach front. It is amazing!! Overall, we are really enjoying our first visit to Santorini and will return.



If I had one tiny gripe it would be that there are no directions on the hotel website, I did email and was told it was close to the bus stop and easy to find but we ended up walking in circles until some kind locals helped us. When we arrived at Tamarix we were given a printed local map which would have been ideal. If that could be uploaded to the website too that would be excellent.
