I recently stayed at the Santorini Crystal Blue Hotel, drawn in by its impressive rating of 10 points. However, I was surprised by the condition of the hotel, which I would rate around a 6 or 7. The hotel is quite old and not well maintained. The furniture felt cheap and dated, which impacted our overall comfort. Additionally, we experienced plumbing issues in the bathroom, which was disappointing. The breakfast offered limited choices, although the quality of the food was good. On a positive note, the beach was beautiful, and having dedicated sunbeds for guests was a great perk. The team at the hotel was truly commendable; they did everything possible to support us and ensure we had a pleasant stay. Overall, while the beach and the dedicated staff were highlights, the condition of the property did not meet our expectations based on its rating. I hope management considers improvements to enhance the guest experience.

An amazing property located right on the beautiful Kamari beach. A very friendly and accommodating staff that felt like an extended family while we stayed there. Food at this hotel was really good, which they also conveniently serve on the beach. Outside of the hotel, there’s a ton of nice restaurants and food options, but our favorite restaurant on the strip was Almira restaurant. We really enjoyed our stay at Crystal Blue and overall experience on Kamari beach, which IMO is the nicest beach on the island. I would highly recommend this hotel!

Great time at Crystal Blue
Had a great time and everything was great. Way better then I expected. The location is perfect, just by the beach. I wasn’t sure initially if pick Kamari over other locations and at the end I’m 100% that this was the perfect location to spend the time with the family. The staff are just spectacular, great attention to details and make everyone feel absolutely welcome. I usually don’t write reviews but this one deserved it.
