Afroditi Venus Beach Hotel & Spa

Afroditi is in a great location on Kamari beach. We had instant beach access and were close to many restaurants ane shops. The hotel itself was a let down. We paid for a jacuzzi room, and the water was luke warm at best. There is no storage for your clothes (outside of hanging) nor hooks for towels to dry - which brings me to my next point: the shower. It does not have a door and gets water everywhere in the bathroom. Mornings were loud and disruptive, and we woke up with new bug bites every day. The breakfast was tolerable; only ate once. Overall, the hotel was dirty, a bit smelly (cat litter/piss?) and outdated. Again, great location, but would recommended trying to find another spot for your stay in Santorini - especially if you're looking for a romantic environment. It's best suited for families.

The staff were mostly nice and welcoming, however the first maisonette room was a bit dusty. We complained and they put us in a cleaner room the next morning. The 2 biggest complaints were the lack of mirror in the bathroom as the hairdryer was fixed to the wall in there. The double bed was 2 single beds pushed together that would push apart in the night so you would end up in a gap between mattresses. The final thing is the amount of stairs was crazy, we had our young son with mobility issues having to climb a lot of stairs to reach the family rooms. These rooms also have ladder type steps inside to separate the parents and Childrens rooms. We liked the hotel in some ways but the maisonette room isn’t really toddler friendly. Risk assessment on how these rooms are great for families needs to be done. Santorini is very beautiful and people are lovely.
