Loved every second of our stay there. All the hotel staff are absolutely lovely and super helpful. Our stay in the honeymoon suite was perfection. The view from the rooftop/pool is worth every penny. Perfect location and lots of little shops close by. If we are ever back in Santorini we would book again without any hesitation.

This hotel was very charming, we had the honeymoon suite which had a large jacuzzi tub overlooking the sea. At night it was great as the water was very hot, but during the day, there was no way to lower the temperature so it wasn’t great in that respect. The view was ok, we couldn’t tell from the pictures, however most of the view was obstructed by a restaurant in front, so that was quite disappointing.

I would highly recommend Blue Waves as a place to stay on Santorini. The area in Kamari is very relaxed compared to Oia or Thira and the proximity to the beach is unbeatable. The staff were extremely kind and attentive, it was so easy to communicate requests and questions about the area, they were eager to solve any issues immediately and make recommendations on places to go and see. Arranging transport and transfer around the island was extremely simple over WhatsApp and they always responded immediately. The front desk staff were so kind and welcoming and checked in throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. Everything was above and beyond what I would expect from such an economically priced accommodation. Special thanks to all the staff on site for everything! Areti and Tatiana (receptionists) Eleftheria and Anna (cleaning ladies) Masud (Barman) Ilias ( Maintenance) Panos (Driver) You made our stay that much more enjoyable and memorable. Thank you for everything!

Beautiful place! The stuff were amazing and super welcoming! My boyfriend and I were able to check-in early. The room was super clean and comfortable. The pool and bar was awesome! Lots of lounge chairs and umbrellas to enjoy the pool. Drinks were worth the 9€. Super close to the beach. Probably a 3 minute walk. Lots of restaurants and stores. Overall I would recommend!!

We stayed at the Blue Waves for 4 nights, the staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel was clean and nicely upgraded. The location is great. Only a block from Kamari beach. Beautiful sunrises and so many beach front restaurant options. The room was nice but the bed was very stiff/hard(new mattress) the hotel does offer mattress toppers so if you like softer mattress just ask for one. The bathroom shower hangs on the wall at waist height so need to be aware. Our room was missing the cooking top(only had the mini-fridge) but the staff were more than willing to replace it. All in all we were very happy with our stay.

We couldn't believe the property was rated two star. It was lovely, clean friendly, excellent location to the beach and a short walk from the main bus stop.

A fantastic boutique style property which was topped off with a jacuzzi in our room. They kept in contact once we booked and I arranged a airport pickup through them which really helped. The staff spoke fantastic English- my Greek was not the best. It was our 1st time visiting the island and they really helped explain where was best to visit and the best way to travel. The beach is 2-3mins walk which has an array of restaurants and a lovely bakery! They arranged transport for us and kept in contact throughout the trip should we need anything. Highly recommended!!

The go out of there way to help you with every concern you may have and always with a smile. From the girls at the front desk, to the girls who maintain the rooms and most importantly the girls at the pool bar/breakfast area.

Greek Wedding & Vacation
My first visit to Greece was quite overwhelming, I was not expecting the impact of the beauty of Santorini and her friendly people. Our hotels location was amazing, the staff were all very friendly & super eager to please,(and did). Our suite was nice, well presented & very clean with adequate space for us, however, an extra luggage bench for the suitcases, and a mirror in the room would have been nice, as our visit was for a family wedding, and the only mirror was in the bathroom. Our Grecian themed bathroom was lovely & adequately stocked with the usual requirements. Our kitchenette was adequate but a sponge or kitchen towels would have been helpful, also I would swap the pressure cooker for a toaster. Overall our visit (my first) was extremely positive, from arriving to departing, and out and about, we were made very very welcome. we are back home now, & telling everyone of our wonderful visit to Greece, and looking forward to our next visit.
