Epavlis Hotel & Spa

This hotel has a lot of potential. We loved the location, overlooking the black beach in Kamari, tucked away from the noisy beachfront but within walking distance. We had a sea view room with a nice balcony. However, a 4⭐️ hotel needs decent towels and bed sheets. Splurge a little on the toiletries and offer complementary drinking water. Make the room up so that everything is fresh and clean. It would make a much better impression. Overall, we enjoy our stay, despite these suggestions. P.S. You will be walking up a hill to this hotel. Good workout every time.

Mixed feelings about this hotel. A beautiful hotel that is set into the cliff. Great spot for sunrise and sunset. On the negative side. Not really a four star hotel. Our towels were probably the worst I have ever had. Sandpaper would be better than what they provided for us. The staff works very hard to be accommodating but are truly short staffed. We were upgraded to another room but honestly it wasn’t any better Our tv was so far away from our bed it looked like a ipad. The flights of stairs are made of marble which becomes slippery when wet. Carrying luggage was almost dangerous. Roland tried to help but the stairs are not easy to navigate. He was by far the best staff member. The elevator is not worth using as it only goes up or down one floor. Breakfast is included but falls short. They ran out of bacon within the first half hour. The coffee machine failed several times and the power also cut out as well. No free water bottles which is terrible because getting to the store requires walking downhill and climbing back up. Not easy if you’re not in shape. Don’t drink the water or rinse with it. Use bottled water.

We had 3 nights bed and breakfast at this hotel part of our island hopping adventure. Check in is from 2pm and was given room 132. Very basic room no view very dark. The room had a free safe and a fridge (nothing supplied in it) no bottled water and no tea/coffee facilities. Bathroom could do with an update shower was awful. Toiletries supplied. Hotel and room spotlessly clean. Aircon was excellent!! Breakfast was again very basic/poor, coffee awful (when machine worked) The setting to eat was beautiful. Roland on reception was friendly and helpful. Other staff seemed aloof. Pool was lovely with amazing views out to sea and the resort. Pool bar was very good but didn’t stay open in the evening so nothing was going on in the evening at the hotel. Noise echoed around the corridors and hallways at night so take earplugs. This hotel is not ideal for people with walking difficulties as it is situated at the top of a very steep hill (hence the fabulous views) and there’s loads of stairs taking you up and down to rooms, pool and reception, Location is about 5 min walk to beach and 10 mins into Kamari centre which has everything you could possibly need. Sadly we wouldn’t recommend but definitely love Santorini and the resort of Kamari.
