“AMAZING HOTEL !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

Been back twice and have already booked for a third year. This is a family run hotel that you just cannot find anywhere else. Fantastic pool and bar area - great friendly people and children friendly ! Rooms are comfortable and all you need in Greece... we truly love this hotel, and it has made it hard to book anywhere else. Beers are always cold - cocktails are tall and colourful and you are walking distance from everything.. restaurants, banks, car and bike hire, shops, beaches and bus stops. Kamari beach is the best part if the island and I will keep returning year after year !

Room Tip: Garden suite for families and the honeymoon suite if you want a treat - but honestly all rooms are l...

“Paradise in Santorini”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Kamari Beach in Santorini is the perfect combination of relaxtion and fun! We had a 17 person group travel with us to celebrate our wedding. All our guests stayed at The Boathouse and absolutely fell in love with the hotel and the staff. This was our second time staying at The Boathouse and we can't wait to go for a third time. Our friends and family are all planning another trip to Santorini and none of them would dream of choosing another hotel to stay at! The hotel is clean, the staff is friendly, passionate, and loving, the food at Almyra's and Ya-mas (the hotel restaurants) is incredible, and the personal attention from Spyros (The owner), Dianne (The Owner), Barbara, Anna, Kelly, and Agili is unbeatable. The hotel is run by people that truly love what they are doing and they will not stop at anything to make your stay unforgetable. The rooms are large, clean, and tastefully decorated. The Honeymoon Sweet is absolutely gorgeous and romantic - perfect for any wedding or anniversary! You could certainly find a more expensive hotel to stay at, but I would challange anyone that told me they found a better hotel than the Boathouse to stay at.

As I said we celebrated our wedding there, and Diane could not have been more helpful getting everything booked - offering us alot of great tips while we were planning the wedding from Canada! Thank you Diane! Spyros, Kelly, Barbara, Anna, and Agili went over and above anything I ever expected to make our wedding day/week magical. We had a fairytale wedding in Santorini because of them. Thank you! You treated us like family. We were so glad that we could celebrate with all of you - you truly are family to us! The personal touch that the Boathouse gave us was truly a display of the love they have for what they do.

Alymra Restaurant (where we had our reception) is the best restaurant we have found on the island. The food quality is impecable, the staff and service are exceptional, and the value is great. Christos and Spyros have a gem in this restaurant. Imagine eating at a high quality greek restaurant on a beach (literally the sea is 5 meters from the covered patio) with great service and unbeatable value. This is Almyra. I would have eaten there every night if I didn't think it would have been wrong for me not to have tried somewhere else.

Kamari Beach is by far the best city in Santorini to stay. You have a strip - that is pedestrian only - on beach level (the only town on the island that is at sea level) that has shops, night clubs, restaurants, bars, and hotels (the only hotel to stay at is The Boathouse). Stay in Santorini and visit the other cities on the island during the day or evening. It is so easy to get around the island as it is so small. You can easily drive the whole island in a day, although it will take much longer to truly explore all the treasures Santorini has to offer.

Room Tip: Get a Seaview Room. Nothing Better than letting the cool Mediteranean Breeze in your room at night.

“Great hotel!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 November 2011

We stayed there for 3 nights, and were thinking about cancelling the rest of our tour just to stayed there! Very friendly staff, nice area, clean pools and a very cozy room! Would definitely come back!

“great hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2011

We stayed at the Boathouse a few years ago and plan to go back next year. The staff are extremely helpful. The location is fine - on the beach, near interesting restaurants. The pool and breakfast nook provided a nice opportunity to meet the guests from around the world.

“Can't wait to return”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2011

person found this review helpful

Stayed here for 10 nights. Even though the hotel had three wedding parties to cater for while we were there, we were made to feel incredibly welcome. The atmosphere is warm and friendly and the owner is a fantastic host and nothing is too big a problem. The rooms are of a high standard and are cleaned every day. We stayed next to the main hotel - about 10 metres from the main pool area, which did not make any difference to our stay. We'll definitely return.
