Great value and beautiful spot!
Beautiful villa with a private walkway right to the beach. Salt water pool is beautiful.amd clean. Nota, the receptionist, was so sweet and helpful. She recommended the restaurant right down the beach and it was very good!! Our bedroom was nice with a good shower and balcony. We paid under $70 per night and thought the value was terrific. Didn't get too excited about the breakfast but who does in Europe? We would love to stay there again and have more family with us.

Ideal for quick stop over between Santorini and other islands. A bit remote for long stays but okay if you hire a car. Lovely quiet pool and a couple of tavernas close by but not much else.

This hotel offers good basic accommodation in a very remote area so if you are wanting to explore the island, a car is a must. The bus stop was not far but the buses were not all the frequent. The beach was very secluded, a lovely volcanic beach with nature at its best, but no chairs provided by the hotel. There were two very good restaurants, reasonably priced and on the beach, one to the left and one to the right but that is all of the choice you will have within walking distance, There is also a convenience store which is extremely handy. The staff were lovely and accommodating, helping with information and transportation. The breakfast was a also a nice addition and the pool was great.

Swimming in the pool left your feet and legs covered in blue paint as the salt water was dissolving it.owner was aware but had no money to fix. Doors on room jammed and I was unable to get out for an hour even after shouting for help and letting off personal alarm. The owner was lovely to me on all other accounts and it was lovely quiet and very clean. Negotiate with your own taxi drivers for fare as much cheaper than resort offers. I was made to feel welcome and owner made it simper for me with my disability and I enjoyed the serenity after the noise of Athens.

Don't Stay Here
It was a huge disappointment. This was the last stop on our honeymoon and we were looking forward to relaxing at the hotel, but we couldn't wait to leave here. On hotels.com it advertises (as of September 2017) that there is in-room wifi, but there is NOT. And the wifi in the lobby area is very spotty. When we went to reception with the issue, we got absolutely no help. When we showed her our printout, she responded, "do you see it saying wifi in-rooms on there?" (it just says wifi on our confirmation, it said in-room wifi on hotels.com when we booked). We had ask to move rooms to one closer to the wifi area and she said no. The room was in okay condition, but the towels felt really used (at least they were clean though). None of the sheets or towels were changed until the last day. There were no complimentary shampoos or soap. On the second day, we had ants in our room with no open food containers, and we have no idea where they came from. Breakfast was gross. It was supposed to be until 10am, but when we went at 9am there was already almost nothing left. We ended up eating breakfast out most mornings. The location was fine since we rented a car. It's right near the airport, but the planes didn't bother us (we live near an airport).

Beautiful property on beach with a pool
the rooms were big and airy but not too much in bathroom though comfy. The hostess and ladies providing breakfast service were very helpful and hospitable and breakfast was good. We are right on beach near Kamari and airport but about 20 min from Capital city of Thira and about 40 min from Oia. But the daily tours pick up from hotel and there is bus service and taxi service available so very convenient and nice location as only 10 min from airport. Very safe area even by night to walk about.

Charming and Clean with lovely staff!!!
We absolutely loved this adorable villa. It is nothing fancy, but such an amazing value and so neatly kept. Nota, the owner and proprietor, was so helpful. We arrived early and she came in especially to check us in... she helped book our sailing trip and our taxi to the airport. If you want opulent luxury, go elsewhere... but if you want an authentic feeling Grecian, blue and white experience, we could not recommend Blue Bay Villas more highly! Will be back and will stay longer next time:)

You get what you pay for.
You get exactly what you pay for. Our room was a good size, although the bed was very squeaky. The bathroom was small with a very small shower, and they didn't change our towels once (we stayed three nights). We had a lovely balcony overlooking the pool and sea. The pictures show a pool bar with lots of seating, however the bar was never open and there were no seats. The staff were very friendly and helped us with all of our questions. There isn't much around the area, but that didn't bother us - we hired a car (which the owners helped organise for us), and we also walked along the beach (a very long and stoney walk) to Kamari which had lots of taverns, places to lay on the beach and little shops. There is a lot a mini supermarket a stones throw away from the hotel. Would recommend the hotel if you want something cheap and cheerful.

Nice cheap clean hotel, poor location
Santorini is beautiful! This hotel was nice, clean, with helpful friendly. Only down side to this hotel is the location. Even though it's in the beach front. There's no sunloungers on the beach, no bar or restaurant, and there's no local bars/clubs/restaurants nearby so have to get buses/taxi everywhere. The buses to and from this location also stop earlier than anywhere on the island which is annoying. But if your looking for a quiet getaway and don't mind renting a car/quad bike then it's a nice quiet safe clean hotel with a nice pool and nice staff. Also aeroplanes are loud on the evening over your room. Breakfast is just cereal so very basic.
