Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 10 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Santorini Kastelli Resort is perfect for beach-loving travellers wanting a lush, quiet garden setting near local transit. Guests rate it exceptionally well on Booking.com. Features include a two-minute walk to Kamari Beach, a daily buffet breakfast served until noon, and close proximity to the airport. However, the resort is located away from the famous Caldera cliff views, and Kamari beach itself features coarse black pebbles.
Guests score it 9.6 out of 10 — the average across the 17 hotels we list on Santorini is 9.4.

What Guests Loved
- Guests can easily transition from the resort's quiet grounds to the volcanic sands of Kamari Beach, located just steps away, making beachside dining and swimming effortless.
- The exceptionally late breakfast service allows for relaxed mornings, offering a varied buffet of local and international dishes beside the main pool until midday.
Things to Consider
- Unlike Oia or Fira, this east-coast property does not overlook the famous volcanic caldera. However, it offers flatter terrain and much easier beach access in return.
- The nearby shoreline consists of dark volcanic stones rather than soft sand, which can get hot in the summer; wearing water shoes is highly recommended.

What guests say
Reviews from Google“Another fantastic stay at Santorini Kastelli Resort, and once again, we absolutely loved it. The staff here genuinely can’t do enough for you, and the whole resort is incredibly clean and beautifully looked after. The main pool is lovely and has a really relaxed atmosphere, making it very easy to switch off and enjoy your time here. This time we stayed in one of the Luxury Swim-Up rooms, which was fantastic. Having direct access to the pool made the stay feel even more relaxing, and the whole experience was exactly the chilled break we were looking for. The breakfast buffet is excellent, with plenty of choice and everything you could want to start the day. The location is also really convenient, making it a great base for exploring while still feeling peaceful when you’re back at the resort. This wasn’t our first visit and, having already booked to return next year, it definitely won’t be our last. Santorini Kastelli Resort has become one of those places we know we can come back to and have a brilliant stay every time. Highly recommended - we’re already looking forward to coming back next year!”
“Perfect destination. Location was spot on, we felt it was much better not to be in the more touristy areas like Oia and Fira, but both were in easy distance for sightseeing. We hired a car which reception arranged for us in about 3 minutes and it was not expensive for just a little get around. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the beach and all the restaurants and bars and is flat so easy for anyone to get to. The hotel itself is amazing. Staff are all incredibly friendly and helpful, and all areas of the hotel are kept really clean. Pools are all lovely, we preferred the quieter pools around the hotel to the main one outside the bar and resturant, not that there was anything wrong with it, the others were just quieter. The food is really good quality and generous portion sizes. We went full board and for the evening meal it is set and 4 courses. Choice of 2 starters, salad and dessert but generally 3 options for meat or vegetarian option. I found it a lot of food and often couldn't get through it all. We did however on a few nights eat down by the beach to give us more variety. For lunch I'd recommend the caesar salad, pizzas or club sandwich, all were so good! Our room was lovely, always kept clean and perfectly cool with the air con. I found the bed really comfortable too. The shower was a large rainforest type but I didn't find it that great and ended up using the little one as it was easier for hair washing and seemed more effective that the larger one. Overall I can't fault this hotel, its perfect in every way and if I go back to Santorini I'd definitely look to return, especially to the new suites located over the road!”
“We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Santorini. The hotel is beautiful, with clean, spacious, and comfortable rooms that were maintained to a high standard throughout our 11 day stay. The staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly and helpful, always greeting us with a smile and making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the beach and surrounded by great restaurants, making it easy to enjoy everything the area has to offer. The hotel also has plenty of pools and sunbeds, so there was always space to relax. The food was also great. A great variety of options for breakfast, and we also enjoyed the lunches and dinner at the hotel. Overall, the hotel exceeded our expectations. Beautiful surroundings, fantastic facilities, delicious food and outstanding service. We would definitely stay here again!”
“Wow!! Are the only words I currently have. I’ve just returned from a stay here for the weekend, visited with my other half, we came across this hotel and thought we would check it out and genuinely lost for words. The hospitality was unmatched, all staff we came across were extremely polite, well mannered and eager to help with absolutely anything. Alexandra, specifically often went above and beyond to ensure everything was ok, from calling reception on our behalf to bringing drinks immediately. We stayed in the luxury suites section which is a little more secluded and we had a room with outdoor hot tub which was beautiful and warm. The resort was clean throughout with plenty of choice for pools with beds. Service 10/10. Breakfast incredible choice, buffet style, there really is something for everyone. We also dined at the on site Lydia restaurant for lunch one day and for dinner another day, again food was amazing! The resort was absolutely spotless not a spec of dirt anywhere! The grounds itself so nice to walk around too. It is also just a few minutes walk from the black sand beach which was a nice experience especially if the sun is out. Lots of mini markets, shops and other restaurants to explore. I just want to thank all of the staff once again for making us feel welcome the very moment we walked through the front doors we can not wait to return again!”
“Amazing stay! The hotel was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully designed. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, and the location was perfect. A special mention to Adonis, the hotel manager, who made our stay even more memorable with his professionalism, kindness, and exceptional attention to detail. His hospitality truly made a difference. Highly recommend this hotel, and I would definitely stay here again”
