Aqua Blue Hotel

What an amazing find this is! All the qualities of a boutique hotel at an affordable price in an excellent location.

We chose half board and the buffet style breakfast and dinner offered plenty of fresh options which changed daily. The staff remembered our room number after the first time and special thanks to Rezi who brought soya milk for my coffee after only asking once. The staff are attentive to every need and cannot do enough for you.

The rooms are stylish, cleaned daily with fresh towels although limited wardrobe space but that didn’t bother us.

The whole of the complex is immaculate and cleaned continoulsy.

Perissa itself is a coastal resort with an array of bars and restaurants along the seafront which are all affordable but without the ‘hard sell’ often associated with these places. It is clean and welcoming.

Overall, we can’t wait to come back to Aqua Blue. We have travelled to many places and have been waiting to find somewhere like this that ticked every box 👍 Well done KD hotels!

Had an excellent 9 nights holiday to this lovely beachfront hotel in Perissa, Santorini , in May 2026, booked as a last minute package with British Airways ( excellent ) following a late holiday change notified to us by TUI ( not excellent - we cancelled ). 40 minute private airport transfer on winding roads ( could be a lot longer if shared ); spacious rooms ( a/c a bit noisy ); excellent but pricey restaurant if you are staying B&B ( we all thought the food was delicious - special thanks to the chef and team ); large pool but very cool in May; and lovely people at the hotel who couldn’t do enough for us. Note that the daily room tourist tax is currently 15 euros a day, payable in the hotel. A special thank you to Marilena on the front desk who booked us a wine tour ( expensive, but great day out, with a superb sunset to finish ); island coach tour ( a long day, but enjoyable and a good way to see the island ); and a glass bottom boat trip which includes a walk up the volcano if you want to do this ( about 30 minutes up, and you need decent footwear ) plus a swim in the hot springs ( also optional! ). I would strongly recommend a boat tour of the bay for a different view of the whole island. Santorini is a superb and very interesting historical island, but it is fairly small and I imagine it can get very busy at peak times when there are lots of cruise ships. I would go again to the Aqua Blue hotel without hesitation. Thank you everyone at Aqua Blue! P.S. I wrote a BA review with Feefo, but they selectively edited it to take out any minor negative comments I made so I won’t bother writing any more reviews with them.
