Had a lovely relaxing time at this super little hotel. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The hotel is kept very clean. Even the pool beds are washed daily. There is a small bar open till 10 pm. We stayed in superior appt with hot tub which was checked daily. Supermarket nearby and a wonderful bakery 2 mins. Lots of restaurants. We had great evening food at Captains cabin and Danos . Sun beds on the beach at Sea vibe free if you buy lunch. Thank you Tamarix

An attractive development on a rather ordinary street . A lovely surprise to walk into this lovely courtyard , the only noise that of the swimmers splashing in the pool in the centre of the complex . The classic blue and white building has been very well planned and only has 25 rooms , all different but all with self-catering facilities , although breakfast is provided and there are dozens of restaurants within walking distance . The building is over 20 years old and some guests consider it a bit dated I think it still has a lot of charm . Our five days there must have been the hottest of the month , though probably not of the year . It was very pleasant to sit in the shade on our terrace and do nothing .

Our family of four (parents and two children aged 11 and 15) have just returned from a truly wonderful 10 days. Tamarix del Mar Suites is a real oasis with wonderful staff, clean and well-equipped apartments, and beautifully kept grounds. The location is ideal for the restaurants bars and activity of Kamari's beachfront life whilst the hotel itself felt a million miles away from the bustle of the seafront - a place of real calm and relaxation. Breakfasts were plentiful, ever-changing and catered for our vegetarian needs. I believe they also prepare things to order should you wish - though we never felt the need to ask. The staff are always at hand to help or to offer suggestions. Taking the short stroll to the beach for sunrise swims is a must - as is a trip to the other side of the island for its sunset views (buses are frequent, cheap and swift, if a little busy)

“Beautiful visit”

Currently here and leaving tomorrow after a week long stay. It’s a lovely small hotel. Our room, a luxury maisonette, is great. The roof top terrace with sun-beds and hot tub is brilliant after spending most of the day round the pool. The breakfast is lovely, plentiful and varied. I’d recommend asking them to cook you an omelette. They are really tasty. It is a very relaxed hotel, no rush for sunbeds and the pool is quiet. There are only 26 sunbeds round the pool (not enough for everyone) but some people use their terrace etc and it never seems to be an issue. One area for improvement in my view (resulting in 4 and not 5 stars) is the lack of atmosphere at the pool bar. It is only open 12 until 6 and then opens again in the evening 8-10pm. We really enjoy coming back to our hotel for a drink but it’s dead at night. If the bar was open for longer hours, I think it would help. The music at the bar is also dreadful- it’s like a dull 50’s style jazz that is played very quietly. I’ve spoken to other guests who have been here before and they said it has certainly changed as it never used to be like that. Recommendations for food whilst here would include Prince and Poseidon on the front. When you leave the hotel and walk to the beachfront, we found the busier and better bars and restaurants to be a 10 minute walk. That end is a bit more lively and the bars are beautiful- we liked voodoo. Another must is the Cretan bakery, 2 minute walk from the hotel as you walk to the beach front. It is amazing!! Overall, we are really enjoying our first visit to Santorini and will return.
