Recently refurbished and is of a good standard. Nice swimming pool opp main complex and in a good location.Very clean and rooms ok with nice bathroom and safe and aircon that works and a small fridge. Breakfast is pretty basic with the usual bread, cheese, mixed meats etc but ok. Have given 4 stars due to the lack of a kettle in the room so bring your own, there are plenty of plugs and the coffee situation at breakfast. Management could do with investing in better self service coffee machine. Apart from the minor issues all good with very friendly staff.

My wife and i stayed in Estia hotel for 10 days from 24.06.-04.07.2014., and had one room on the first floor, room number 7. Hotel has a really good location, less than 100 m from the beautiful beach in Kamari. Room was clean, pretty spacious, with small tv, fridge, wifi, individual A/C, safe deposit box ( no exstra charge ) nice bathroom ( there were litlle problems with the water pressure in the afternoon ) and nice balcony. I must notice that i had problem with a bed size, because im 195 cm high, and the bed was litlle for me and my wife, so, i did not had nice sleep quality.They change towels every two days, lining every day. Breakfast was ok, its served from 7 to 10 in the mornning ( hard boiled eggs, yogurt, cereal, cake, etc are among the choices, feta chesse, olives, tomatoes, variety of hams, jams, juice, milk, water, coffee, tea ). Girl on the reception was so nice and informative, and gave us info about everything that we needed. Near the hotel you can find everything that you need, car rental agencys, supermarkets, restaurants, souvenir shops, and its realy close to everything. We also had exelent guide ( we booked hotel via NOVA travel agency from Bosnia and their partners Kalodoukas travel agency from Belgrade, which are great ), Dalibor is so helpful, great person, so nice in general. Beach in the Kamari is so beautiful, perfect black sand, beautiful crystal clean sea, with pleasant wind and litlle waves every day, nice sun beds ( they are free in a lot of places, in front of the Zorbas restaurant, u just need to have a drink on the beach, or if they are payable, they are just 5 Eur for two sun beds and sun umbrella ), u can also find a lot of free wifi on the beach, what was hopeful for me. Restaurants in the Kamari are nice, and they are not expensive, you can have dinner or lunch for 2 for just 20 Euros or less.. Prices in the bars are also good. We also book a bus excursion via Kalodoukas agency arround the Island, and it was so good and informative. We spend all day visiting all most interesting places on the Island, including Pyrgos, Fira, Oia, Megalochori, Perissa, Mesria, we had also the time for the lunch and swimm at the Perissa beach. If you plan to visit Fira or Oia, u can do it with the local buses, prices are 1,60 Eur p/p in one direction. Buses are relly nice, great, they running every 30 mins, a the latest are on 00.00 h. You can also rent a car, they cost 35 EUR with full insurance, or bikes, quads .. Island is small, roads are nice, with a lot of traffic signs. I can reccomend this hotel for the couples, and also for the guest with the children, In general, its nice 3* hotel.

Currently staying in what is now called the Alitana Boutique hotel I feel compelled to write a review. The reception and booking system are so disorganised. We arrived late Saturday evening having booked to stay at the Santorini houses, which is one of their 3 blocks of hotels. They didn't have our reservation even though confirmed so gave us a room in their main block until they could sort out in the morning. Room number 201 right next to reception so needless to say we didn't sleep with people checking in, phone ringing etc. We chose Santorini houses as it had self catering facilities and we had brought some produce with us to cook. Next morning we were informed we could not stay in the Santorini houses as none were available and we could have a room in the Alitana boutique which was an upgrade so the receptionist reminded me several times. I don't think the receptionist enjoys her work she never smiles and everything seems to be such a chore. We took room 103 lower level floor which was ok apart from the cleaners wake you up every morning chatting outside the hotel, well outside our room. We've asked today to keep our room on as we have a late departure guess what they don't know who is coming in on Saturday. There's a surprise. I write this review very tired so excusing my rant the good points are the rooms just recently refurbished are of a good standard and clean. The large kingsize bed is very comfortable. Shower not very powerful or hot but ok to get showered. There is a small fridge in the room which is great for water and our unused bacon and sausages. Lol. Would have been nice to have a kettle in the room. Rooms cleaned daily with clean towels. Breakfast is cereal, ham, boiled eggs bread etc typical continental breakfast. There is a decent size pool opposite with a bar. The lady who manages the pool and the breakfasts is very pleasant and will do anything for you. The hotel is relatively close to the beach, bars and restaurants.
