サンドブル

Sandblu is an excellent resort. It is only a few months since it opened and there are a couple of things that could be improved, but overall I would highly recommend it. There are plentiful staff, who are extremely friendly and helpful and so it is very easy to get things organised. Clearly, food and wine are a key focus, and the quality is excellent. The location is beautiful, and the whole resort has a freshness and cleanliness about it. In a country where taxis can be a problem, the hotel sorted all our transport needs, as well as an excellent guided tour to Akrotiri. A few things that I would change / add. The service time for drinks at the bar could be improved - particularly as you had plenty of staff. Also, if the order includes cocktails and beer, wait until you've made the cocktails before taking the beer out of the fridge, otherwise it is quite warm when it arrives. A draught beer tap would also be a welcome addition. Charging extra for salmon at breakfast seems churlish. In 10 years staying at Eastern Mediterranean resorts, it is the first time that I've experienced this. Overall though a tremendous experience which I would strongly recommend.

We had an amazing weeks stay at Sandblu! From the moment we arrived we felt thoroughly spoilt by the teams hospitality, quality of the hotel, and the tranquillity. In past experience at other hotels it can be tough to achieve all of the above whilst maintaining an environment that younger children enjoy; but our 4 year old has a fabulous time due to the friendly staff and space to play (whether in our private area, kids pool, or kids club). We hired a car for the week, and whilst useful for a few excursions to the popular places to visit (Fira, Oia etc) in truth we used it very little as we loved being at the hotel, and Kamari had plenty to offer of an evening if you want a more relaxed evening not dodging people taking photos! Thank you to the Sandblu Team for making our stay amazing.

The Sandblu was one of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed at! The staff was exceptional and attentive. The front desk staff arranged the hotel van to take us to and pick us up from Oia. The pools were beautiful and the gym was extraordinary and included 3 Pilates reformers! The resort also provided plenty of complimentary water and the night turn down service included delicious chocolates! The spa was our favorite as guests could use the indoor pool, sauna, and steam room complimentary. It also had 4 really cool infrared type shower heads that offered different benefits and water streams. The chocolate croissant we had during breakfast on our last day was better than croissants I had in France. The beach is about a 10 minute walk from the resort and there are plenty of bars and restaurants there. Another benefit is the hotel has designated cabanas and chair on the black beach. The front desk staff arranged for a cabana for us free of charge. The hotel van dropped us off at the beach and the staff at the cabanas called the hotel to come pick us back up once we were done. The hotel has thought of everything to make it an amazing and memorable experience for guests. Sandblu is a gem in a quieter part of Santorini and a must stay!
