Sea View Bay Hotel Santorini

The beach out front is beautiful, with padded loungers and waiter service, though the sand is like lava, so watch your feet. There are lots of restaurants and bars nearby in either direction, just a short walk away. Breakfast has plenty of choice and great views, and the pool is small but never seemed crowded for a hotel this size. The hotel is small, clean, and friendly, right on the beach. Rooms are roomy, though they could use a little updating. Ask for a sea view. George on the beach is always smiling and polite; Ana in the restaurant is friendly and happy to give advice; and Anna at reception was always there to help. I’d definitely recommend this great little place.

I was nervous about travelling alone as a woman, but everyone at the hotel was so friendly and helpful that I felt at ease. Ana was especially thoughtful and kind, gave me great ideas for places to visit and things to do, and always made me happy when I came or went. The room was lovely and clean, the food was gorgeous, and the views were amazing. Other bars and restaurants are only a short walk away if you fancy a change. I know I’ll come back!

The room I got looked old and worn, and the cleaning seemed superficial. I had booked a Superior Room advertised as recently renovated with new furniture, and the listing photos and description showed a modern, updated space. When I raised the mismatch at reception and showed the photos, they wouldn’t move me or offer any solution. The beach sunbeds also aren’t free as advertised anymore. You have to spend at least €15 per person to use them. This was disappointing and not what was promised, so I don’t recommend the hotel.

The room’s ocean views made every morning feel like a dream, and the hotel’s pool and on-site Restaurant were top-notch. Ana also went above and beyond to make everything smooth and enjoyable. Her kindness and attentiveness left a real impression. We had a perfect stay at Sea View Beach hotel and highly recommend it.
