Hotel Acqua Vatos Santorini (Kamari, Greece)

Guests at Acqua Vatos were in for some true fun in the sun, with a great swimming pool that many didn't want to leave. Plenty of lounge chairs, options for shade, and a regularly cleaned pool, meant that all there was left to do was to jump right in.

Many guests found the daily included breakfast to be thoughtfully prepared, with a good selection. A varied menu of Greek and American classics had at least one dish rotated daily, and many were happy to go back for seconds of the tasty cuisine.

If friendly faces and helpful staff are important to you when staying at a hotel, you won't be disappointed with the crew at Acqua Vatos. Guests found staff to be a gold mine of information about the local area, and most importantly, they were treated like valued customers, with no request too big to handle.

Room sizes vary greatly at Acqua Vatos, and guests who paid less were sometimes met with an unsatisfactory amount of space in their rooms. If you love to unpack and want to feel at home without tripping over your luggage, you may want to splurge on an upgrade to forego feeling cramped.

Some guests were unhappy with air-conditioning that didn't seem to be able to keep up with the heat. A few even resorted to opening their windows for a breeze. With the potentially sky high temperatures in Greece, competent air-conditioning can be crucial, and guests advised checking it before settling into your room.

Guests who like to sleep on a softer mattress might be disappointed by the reportedly extra firm beds at Acqua Vatos. While mattress firmness is certainly an individual preference, those with bad backs have been warned.
