Location In Kamari was perfect: near to bars,shops and restaurants. Breakfast was great. Pools and Sunbeds well spread out

The noise from the planes 😩🙈 the price! Expensive for what it was

- HOTEL - Lovely, clean hotel with all the usual amenities: choice of many pools, well priced bar, decent breakfast, spa, gym (small but has the main things you'd need for a decent workout - treadmill, bike, cross trainer, smiths machine, cable pulls and free weights). Hotel is direct on the beach (one of the two black beached of Santorini) - ROOM - We had a sea facing room which was a decent size with a (small) pool. included fridge, tea/coffee making facilities, robe, slippers, sun loungers - TAXI - taxis were expensive given airport is only 10 mins away. Cost us 30E from airport to hotel and 35 from hotel to airport (private hire not via hotel). Tap water is not drinkable, hotel provides a free water bottle on day 1 only. - BUSES - I would recommend getting to places like Fira & Oia by bus, it is VERY EASY, VERY CHEAP & very comfortable! Simply ask the hotel concierge for the bus timetable and location of the bus stop (warning: bus stop is further up than shown on the hotel map, it's past the pharmacy on the corner on the right. Ask the shop keepers they'll let you know. It costs 1.60 Euros per person per journey. For Oia, take a bus to Fira (15 mins) and then change for bus to Oia (about 25 mins). Buses are clearly marked. - LOCATION - Hotel is situated in a fabulous location. There are many great bars and restaurants to choose from. There are ATMs and supermarkets close by too. - SIGHTSEEING - I would recommend doing Oia during the day as it is less busy. A lot of the cruise ships and tours aim to visit Oia for sunset making it very busy. If you want to see a Santorini sunset, I would recommend going to Fira, which is on the same side of the island as Oia and has a similar setting to Oia and a lot less busy. We stayed 3 nights mid-Oct and had a couple of very windy days which made it feel colder than what it was, would recommend taking layers. as when the wind drops, it's lovely and warm! I would stay here again.

- Noisy low flying aircraft - Could have done with a heavier blanket as was getting cooler (Oct time) - Taxis are expensive! Although this is nothing to do with the hotel. Recommend using buses wherever possible which run frequently

WOW. this hotel was exceptional. beginning with check-in and ending at check out. EVERYTHING was top tier. The staff was super helpful and friendly, anything we needed they delivered. The room was very spacious and beautifully kept, the hotel is VERY clean, cleaning people can be seen cleaning at all hours of the day. the property itself is exquisite, located right on the beach with a PRIVATE BEACH WHICH WAS GORGEOUS. We stayed in mid September and it was fantastic. It is definitely a luxury resort and im so glad I chose them for our first time in Santorini. Going forward this is the only place we will stay! Its a cab or bus ride away from Oia and Fira, which is totally fine as I want to relax in a peaceful environment which this resort provided. All amenities were Luxe. The real selling point of this hotel is the restaurant on the beach, it is SO BEAUTIFUL. eating breakfast everyday facing the ocean was perfect for us. the restaurant staff is so friendly and helpful they are truly happy to serve. I can't say enough about the hotel!!! The breakfast was phenomenal! 5 STAR experience!!!!!! The bougainvillea throughout this hotel was GORGEOUS and made for beautiful photos! Thank you for making our stay wonderful.

nothing I didn't like. everything was amazing.

very unsatisfied by the SPA services, where the lady taking care of the massages waned to do only the massages she wanted and not what was requested: no sense at all, in fact we haven't had any further massage

relax, but a part from the airplanes, which land too close to the venue

Staying at Costa Grand was the best decision. The hotel is located in the quiet part of the island. Santorini has some famous but crowded places that a lot of tourists visit, so it was always nice to be able to return to this quiet and relaxing hotel. Another great facility of the hotel is the fact that it is located at one of the nicest beaches on the island. The hotel was very clean and the food was very tasty.

The check in was very late. We arrived at 8.00 in the morning and we had to stay until 15.00 to get to the room. We were extremely exhausted after a night without sleep and it was difficult for us to wait so long. Because I didn’t have proper access to my luggage I stayed in the sun without sunscreen and I burned my skin. Other than that, the internet is not working properly.

Lovely staff!! They remembered the kids names and would engage in conversation with us and this all the time. Breakfast was delicious such a large variety. Beach front. Soooo clean! Every morning I’d wake up to see staff everywhere mopping floors cleaning sun bed! Ramps everywhere which made it very easy to get around with the kids/pram. Staff helped with everything from taking luggage to and from our room, and even taking us by buggy!

We had a split level room/mezzanine and it was soooo hot up there regardless of what temp/how long the aircon was on for. We had a baby monitor with us to watch the kids sleep while we sit out front and the temp would sometimes read 30/32 up there.

Beautiful Grounds, very clean, great location, stunning semi-private beach, clean beach chairs, sparkling pools, wonderful view, ac worked perfect! This only happens on a rare occasion. I left $200 cash, my drivers license, credit card, and coins. Not only did the maid service find it and return it to the front desk, but every effort was made to return my property. Including a driver handing off a sealed envelope with all the contents in the safe to me minutes before I departed the flight. WOW, what a team. Thank you so much! This is the best service I ever received. The whole team deserves congratulations. This is the type of resort all traveler’s would enjoy, including the impeccable service!

Great location close to bars beach and restaurants.Very clean bright and airy rooms.lots of pool areas and beach.Good bar and staff with a good selection of food and drinks.

Aeroplanes are really close and very loud so this could be an issue for some people.Breakfast was okay not a wow for a 5* I would expect fresh coffee served and an egg station with a choice cooked for you. I think water should also be provided for the room daily not just on the first day and a coffee machine in the room not instant coffee sachets .

A very nice experience! The whole staff gave us many useful tips! Advantages: Very comfortable bed, very silent air conditioning, varied and very tasty breakfast, private beach with sunbeds, a la carte restaurant, swimming pools and free parking. The noise of the planes did not bother us, although it might seem disturbing to others. From the hotel, you can reach any part of the island in a maximum 30 minutes, with a buggy.

The hotel was fabulous! There were many pools so if one was busy you could easily find another one. Breakfast which was included and was a buffet had a huge selection. The beach was very accessible with many beds to choose from. The hotel was right at the end of the Kamari strip of restaurants which made them very easy to walk to and also you had nobody other than residents walking past the hotel or on the beach. The concierge was extremely helpful with lots of recommendations of things to do on the island. The hotel is immaculately clean. Above all the staff were so friendly and helpful. WE were three generations ranging from 17 to 80 and everyone had a fabulous time.

A couple of improvements to be suggested would be a walkway put in so people can walk in for a swim in the sea. The stones and rocks on the beach made it treacherous getting in to the water. The beds on the beach could also be maintained better. They should be wiped down and the area around the beds should be cleaned, there were lots of cigarette butts and dried fruit from peoples drinks. Another suggestion would maybe have some activity for teenagers, eg. pool table or tennis table.
