When we came in our room it looked like a mess; under the beds the didn't cleaned and when we put on the shower it smelled like rotten eggs.....BLEH

I could see the electricity in de bathroom,don't want to know what would happend when those dreads were getting wett.......

The cleaning lady never said something to us; she didn't say good morning, not even in Greek!!

On one day the pillow was dirty; we thought the cleaning lady would see it when we putt it on de middle of the bed......when we were back from a beautifull day on the island we saw that the pillow cover wasn't changed......we went to the reception WITH the pillow; the lady said:'there is nothing wrong with this pillow'' After more talking an talking she was getting a clean cover.......
Clear for us; they could talk english when we had to pay (for the safe) but a friendly talk that could not be.....

Every morning there was a lot of noise from cars and stuff, the hotel was almost at the end of the road......

NEVER GO THO THIS HOTEL!!!!

I knew from previous experiences, that star rating in Greece is far from normal EU ratings, but nevertheless we were still surprised when we came there. Rooms are big enough for 2 beds and very small backpack, but in case if you are traveling with bigger bag or suitcase (and big camera backpack as it was in our case), you have problems fitting all this into room (double bed room) and still being able to come from one side of room to other without climbing over beds. But good thing with so small room is, air condition makes it cold very fast, after being turned off all day. Balcony is nothing better, and it takes some practice to move 2 chairs and small table on balcony, so you can at least open door which lead to balcony.
Bathroom is story for itself. 30x50cm shower without anything to prevent flooding all over small bathroom is experience you hardly forget. 30 years old water taps, which were probably cleaned for last time when they were installed, rusty hinges on doors which are falling apart from being soaked wet at least once a day (due previously mentioned shower) doesn't really make you feel very comfortable in bathroom.
Being used to breakfasts you get in hotels around Austria, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Italy, France or USA, breakfast in this hotel was more or less joke. Bread, butter and marmalade, with some colored water instead of juice and tasteless coffee, all together served on plates every, at least kinda decent, housewife would throw away years ago.
Only good thing with hotel is, that it's out of main street, but still close enough you are on main street in less then 5min when walking. This way it's pretty quiet. Another good thing is big parking for beach visitors, which is just about 100m away from hotel, so we didn't have problems leaving our car there, since hotel doesn't have any parking space.
All in all, I would never recommend this hotel to anyone, even less to my friends. And to be honest, I'm happy we spend only nights on creaking beds. I can't imagine having bad luck with weather and being forced to spend only half day inside of this room.

This was the most perfect holiday! Exactly what I wanted! I went with my mum and 15yr old sister and we wanted a week of sun, relaxing with a book by the pool during the day and plenty of wine and typical tavernas for the evening. Booked independantly and had no issues at all, glad not to have a rep, don''t be forced along to a meeting at Kamari Tours the day after you arrive if you have transfers with them, they post details of return transfer under your door the day before the flight, only info you need from them, do everything on your own.

Firstly, a nice easy transfer in a A/C minibus to resort nearby but not affected by aircraft noise at all. Arrived at the friendly family run Blue Sea Apartments. Warm welcome with an awful local spirit (alcohol in dishwater i think he he he), shown to a surprisingly spacious, airy room with adequate kitchen facilities to make breakfast and light lunch - undercounter fridge with ice box, 2ring burner, glasses/mugs/pots/pans and utensils. Bathroom - typical Greece - gets whole room wet but never stayed anywhere in Greece that this isn't the case and hot water plentiful throughout the day. What more can you ask for??? Double bed and a single with a dressing table and dining table and chairs, garden furniture and airing rack on the balcony.

So clean, old couple that owned the place kept the staff on the go all day, when not cleaning the rooms and changing the linen every morning they were painting benches or tidying the flower pots always busy

Pool area lovely and exceeded our expectations for the price we paid. 2 pools to choose from, one much more shady but both had a small snack bar - was opening these on the day we left, we were first week of the season all still opening up. Bar in reception basic but adequate if a bit old fashioned, not always manned so sometimes took a while for someone to wander through and they didn't have any diet coke for a few days but some turned up in her next delivery, they obviously were not too interested in revenue from keeping you in the hotel which so not hassled by staff at all, all good as far as I'm concerned. We didn't go to breakfast so can't comment on anything as far as that is concerned.

No hotel entertainment suited us down to the ground did not want to be forced into water aerobics and water polo every afternoon, one street from main drag with too many places to eat/drink to choose from - we didn't get to everywhere we wanted to try. Mostly family run greek tavernas with tables lining the beach, a few places that looked as if they were more like clubs/beach front bars but not open yet. Must try Hooks Bar for cheesy rock and a cocktail, plenty of happy hour deals along the main drag.

Food is typical greek dishes, pizza/pasta, grills, fresh fish seems to be a speciality in Santorini and you must try one of the mixed platter offers during your visit, come just off the main drag where prices drop slightly but certainly not the quality. We found Mistral (straight over at Food Corner towards Ivona Market) owned by a fisherman who then sold it that evening in his taverna, delicious! And with decent enough local wine. Atmoshere a bit dead when we were in there but had a Greek night on Friday and according to someone we chatted to round the pool it was a fun evening.

Every evening was fantastic throughout our stay. Had bought some pasta and sauce on the first day as planned to eat in one night but we ended up out every night all looked too nice to miss out on. Tried Posedion along the front on our first night, friendly and food good, Family Taverna also along the front was fantastic, owner Dimitris was so proud of his renovations and he couldn't do enough for us, he had us hitting the Ouzo after dinner (not costing us anything) and watching Barcelona v Chelsea at the back of his restaurant, my sister says try the baklava its the best. Went back here for our final night and nearly took a job for the season - I so didn't want to come home. I must also recommend Metpino, very close to Blue Sea (left at Food Corner its on the left next to supermarket), delicious dolmardes and couldn't decide on one meal so had to share different dishes, all fab - a little wait for the food all cooked to order in very clean kitchens. Hooks bar saw us most nights for a after dinner cocktail or three!

Book excursions/carhire on your own. Kamari Tours charged 32EUR for hire that cost 20EUR everywhere else. All places included insurance and 5litres of petrol took us all over the island - we did not stop laughing the entire day, go and find a really bendy mountain road its like being on your very own rollercoaster, especially when you see the little memorial shrines on the road side! You have to go to Fira and Oia. We are not normally day trippers not wanting to miss a day of sunbathing but had a beautiful day, never seen such a pretty place as Oia its like something from a film set. We were warned about both towns being really expensive but found souvenirs no more expensive than Kamari and if you went on street off the Caldera it was actually cheaper than Kamari, los of these places had roof terraces so could probably still see everything anyway. We ended up staying in Oia for a meal eventhough we hadn't planned to and it was fantastic value for money with breathtaking views and again brilliant customer service Thalami Taverna. But do be careful as Oia does cater for "rich Americans" lots of spas, boutique hotels and plush restaurants so yes you can be ripped off if you don't look first.

The temperature was much higher in resort during the day than what was being quoted on websites but there is a breeze in the evening that I found quite chilly - pack a jumper this time of year just for the evening but sure it is a god send in high season.

I am normally ready to come home to catch up on missed gossip after a week but I honestly think I could have stayed the entire season in Santorini and not missed home for a minute. Recommended it to everyone since I've been home and the Blue Sea already have a booking thanks to my rave reviews. If you want typical Greece you are going to fall in love with this island - please don't let the new EasyJet route ruin it - loud mouth "Brits abroad" KEEP OUT!!!

We had a great time at this Hotel. Furniture isn't the best thing but it was all clean, friendly people and near the boulevard and the beach. We enjoyed our stay a lot and we would return for sure to this Hotel!
