Epavlis Hotel & Spa

Apart from a 6 in 1 incline from road to Hotel (Stennah stairlift company could help) , there was always smiling staff welcoming us "home" even the outside delivery suppliers seemed happy , this place is quiet in itself but close enough to the Restaurants and Bars - they are relaxing n laidback [ which are out of noise distance ]

Good hotel, would recommend to others

The breakfast variety was very good. About 7 mins walk from the beach & main shops. Nice & quiet with great sunrise views.

My husband and I stayed in this hotel for 6 nights a couple of weeks ago for our honey moon. We enjoyed staying at this hotel. We found a bottle of champion upon arrival and the room was spacious and very clean. The receptionist Panos was extremely friendly. He made so many good recommendations (e.g. restaurant, place to watch sunset etc.) which made a huge difference to our entire holiday. There are two pools in the hotel. We have tried the outdoor one. It is not particularly big but big enough for us. The pool is open from 8am to 8pm. But the pool bar is open till 11pm. Breakfast is served between 7:30 to 10:30. A very good selection including a variety of cakes, fruits, greek yogurt and various types of cereal but be warned - if you get there after 10am you may find some hot food (fried eggs for example) have already gone - it happened to me twice where I got there just after 10pm and found no fried eggs left, unless you are not a mad fried egg fan and don't do mornings this probably doesn't really matter. Some reviews mentioned about the small hike from the beach. I actually think the hotel is in the best location on the Kamari beach because you are near enough to the beach but far enough from all the noises at night from bars and restaurants which open till 1am. Overall if you would like to have a good night rest (+ not bothered about fried eggs), this is the hotel for you! Ask Panos if you have any questions. He is the most friendliest receptionist we have never met!

This hotel look and feels brand new (although it is ~ 9 years old at the time of this review). Hotel staff are super nice and helpful. We arrived at 6:00 am and they offered us beds in their spa room so we could take a nap while they got our room ready. They showed us 3 different rooms until we saw one we liked. The pool and lobby are very nice. The location is absolutely perfect. It is very quite and relaxing, yet it is a 5 minute walk to Kamari beach, which is an awesome beach and has tons of restaurants and shops. It is a 5 minute walk to the bus station that takes you to Fira and Oia ($1.80 per person).

Stayed there for first week of honeymoon

We recently traveled to Santorini with an infant and stayed at Epavlis for our time on the island. The hotel was located a short walking distance from the town of Kamari. Check-in staff in the evening was helpful and friendly. Staff during daytime assisted us with several matters on a less friendly basis but still helpful. We had a wonderful time and hope to return to Santorini one day!

I had a great rate from hotels.com; usually it's double. The hotel gave me an Oia, Santorini feel with a quaint balcony and a gorgeous pool (there's also an indoor piscine). The breakfast was the highlight. Greek salad with yogurt, all fresh juices, meats, hot foods -- all can be taken on outside tables. There was no check-out rush, the concierge late at night was very nice (he walked me to my room), and when I stayed at a hotel a block away -- their own staff complimented how nice Epavlis was. Definitely my favorite hotel in Kamari.

Great location. We just wished we could have stayed for more than one night.

It's one of the newer hotels you'll find in Santorini. A quiet hotel. Quite clean. It has a nice view of Kamari Beach. The pool and bar are fine. It seems with Greece's financial state all hotels are cutting corners. I was under the impression that a triple room was something more than a double room with three beds. We had a room with two single beds and a cot added. The wifi was weak. Not available in the rooms, just the lobby and the pool area (even there it was spotty at times). They shouldn't be allowed to claim a hot tub, spa or fitness room. The hot tub was just lukewarm water and the fitness room was basically a rack of dumbbells. This place wouldn't qualify as a four-star in the states or western Europe.
