Epavlis Hotel & Spa

The hotel was nice and clean. The only negative thing about the hotel was the bathroom. The rooms don’t have a shower so you will have to shower in the bathtub. Everything gets wet in the process. But overall it’s a nice hotel with a good view on the sea

Beautiful property! Enjoyed my stay in Santorini. The hotel staff is very helpful. I would definitely come back to this same hotel.

Good staff

We stayed at the Epavlis Hotel in October 2023 - the last stop island hopping around Greece. Positives first - Kamari is a beautiful resort. Even at the end of season, there were still some wonderful restaurants (recommend Dana's Family Taverna), the beach is gorgeous and I think it is the perfect place to stay when visiting Santorini. The breakfast was great. Big selection of hot and cold food, coffee was nice and Greek yoghurt was very yummy. Hotel is less than a 5 min walk from the beach. Some people were complaining about the walk as it is on a steep hill, however I thought that this was a perfect location - just might be a problem if you have mobility issues. There is a trail behind the hotel, up a large hill to Ancient Thira. Really recommend doing this hike if you have time during your holiday. Views from hotel pool are stunning. Pool area very nice to relax. Negatives - I had stayed at this hotel 9 years ago with my family and I don't think it had had a lick of paint since. There was also some spots of mould on our bathroom ceiling. We had paid for a double room but were given a very large family room on arrival. Although this room was more expensive than what we paid, it was rather dark, below the indoor pool and eerily big for the two of us. Would have preferred to have the double room we had paid for in the main hotel complex. We did enquire about this but were told the room was more expensive so "it will be fine". The lady on reception (owner?) is quite rude. Don't know if this is because it was near the end of the season but she wasn't very helpful. Also this hotel is not a spa hotel. There is a jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and a couple of trea**ent rooms inside however they were "out of bounds " (as some of the guests were told during our stay). All the facilities were turned off and not usable. Would have been a shame if you had booked it thinking it was a spa hotel and then you found out you couldn't use any of the facilities. On a whole, still really enjoyed our stay. Kamari is a great location for your holiday in Santorini (great bus connections to Oia and Thira), however the hotel could definitely do with some renovations and a warmer reception.

Staff was extremely helpful and courteous. Beautiful views room was extremely clean and hotel grounds were immaculate.

Gorgeous views of the beach from hotel, very kind and knowledgeable staff, breakfast with a view, and close to many restaurants within walking distance

Beautiful property, friendly and welcoming staff. Very clean. Less than 5 minute walk to town for shopping, groceries and restaurants

I chose the Epavlis after searching through hundreds of hotels all across Europe and we weren't disappointed - we were made to feel really welcome and it was conveniently located for the airport, beach, restaurants and shops. It is also in a quiet location which we really liked. We booked a seaview jacuzzi room and it was larger than we expected and a real sun trap. The daily housekeepers and pool cleaner kept the room and jacuzzi immaculate. There is a book library in reception with plenty of books to borrow, and the room has a mini fridge and a drying rack for wet swimsuits etc which was really useful. We can't recommend it enough and have already booked a return trip.
