The Rosebay Hotel is excellent. Excellent location in the best resort to stay in on Santorini. Yes Oia and Thira are beautiful, but expensive. From Kamari you can get to both these within 15 to 30 mins , visit then enjoy great restaurants and good prices back in Kamari. Don't bother with Taxi s , they are expensive and you end up sharing yet still paying the full price and the other passengers pay the full price too !!! Bit of a rip off!!! Get a quad bike or car instead, way way better to get around the island .. As for the Rose Bay , lovely hotel , good room with air con , kept spotless, the pool also was good and the bar was manned by excellent staff who always greet you with a smile and a cold beer !!!! Poliner was excellent both at breakfast and lunch and at the bar, very friendly. All the hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. Honestly couldn't find any fault here and believe me if there was a problem I would say.
Had a very relaxing two weeks here and would definitely come back to this hotel... It's a perfect base to see the island from and also a very short walk down the road to the beach front where 80 very good restaurants stretched down the front. Perrissa is over the mountain side which you can visit , but although this is a nice resort , we preferred Kamari.
To all the staff at the Rose Bay.... Thanks you for making our holiday so perfect, it was a most enjoyable relaxing two weeks !! Wish I was still there thank you
