Perivolos Sandy Village — Hotel in Municipality of Thira

I wish I could give a-1 star review because it doesn’t even deserve a 1! ||Firstly we were conned into staying here by some crazy lady, as we were already frazzled after having our accomodation cancelled at the last minute my partner said yes! |The room itself isn’t bad, the decor looks like someone was on a severe acid trip when they painted it. |From the very start stuff seemed very dodgy, so firstly we had to pay cash , we got a free taxi ride (this does not ever happen in Greece)! |Where verything went hovrribly wrong was, we had quickly ducked back so I could go to the toilet before catching the bus that was running late, so off I hurried when I came back my partner waswaiting in the pool area I said is the bus here yet and he replied no, little did I know one of the staff was behind the closed bar- I’m assuming she overheard that we would be gone for the day - anyway we went and caught up with family at the other end of Santorini and we were gone for a good 5 hours. Upon returning we had new towels dropped in our room, but the old ones weren’t taken 🧐 and they were sitting just inside the door, didn’t really think that much of it until later! I had Adam nap, my partner woke me up to go get dinner so I went into my bag looking for my jeans and they were no where to be found, the. I oulled everything out and more stuff was missing. In total$300 worth of my stuff was missing out of my zipped up bag and my packed toiletries bag! As we had to stay another night my partner didn’t want me to confront them so I would leave it to the morning when we checked out of this hell hole. So upon checking out I wanted to talk to someone about it, do you think for the life of me I could find anyone in the whole complex— NO! 🚫|||Any way a week later we had to catch a ferry back to the main island and low and behold the crazy lady was down there trying to scam some other tourists with my bloody clothes on- I was beyond angry and wanted to set her on fire. Because obviously people that travel don’t work for what the have and the luxuries they decide to have in life. 😡 please do yourself a favour and do not stay here! ||This place also goes as seaside hotel, and like 4 other names so please make sure you do your review research. |We couldn’t access internet when we were originally harassed by the crazy lady “katia” “sissy” “katerina” she goes by all...

Don't let the low prices scare you away. Very close to Black Beach and good, affordable restaurants--but it is located in a budget-oriented touristy area of Santorini. No sidewalks, so walking can be a bit dangerous--especially at night. Trash seems to be scattered all over this beautiful island which is a tragedy. Despite that, Sandy Beach resort is welcoming, safe and nice enough. We actually had a long-distance view of the ocean & mountains from our room's balcony, but you had to look past some distressed properties to see it. Beds and pillows are a little hard, and it's decor is certainly dated--but still nice enough. A few ants when my wife left some fruit on the counter, but nothing too revolting. Nice pool, but spends your time on the island's many amazing beaches. The ritzy "lifestyles of the rich and famous" type resorts are located in Oia and Fira--NOT here. But who wants to pay $500-$3k per night when you can get a week or more here for much less than a day at any of those places! Best advice if you stay here (or pretty much anywhere on the island) is to rent a car ($200 per week if you shop around) and see the entire island. No reason to travel half way around the world and not see all of Santorini's many amazing sites! Airport shuttle drivers will discourage you from doing so, but you can do it. Get a car, not an ATV, motorcycle or Vespa. That way if something does happen, you'll have more protection for you and your loved ones. Many inexperienced tourists are injured or killed renting ATV's as they really do require special riding skills Driving is no worse than any big American city. Google maps is a must, and if you're going to do it without cellular data, simply download the entire island in Google maps, and you can drop a pin wherever you want to go and it'll provide accurate turn-by-turn voice and map navigation without the need for using cellular data. Probably need to know how to drive a manual transmission though, as that's what's largely available. Don't miss Vlychada Beach, Red Beach, Black Beach, Oia, Fira, sunset at Akrotiri Lighthouse (too crowded at Oia--the most popular sunset watching location) and do take the day-long boat tour (30 Euros per person) to the Caldera, surrounding islands and other Santorini sites from the water. Incredible travel...

After reading some of the reviews I was a little nervous to stay here, but we had an awesome stay. When we arrived the owner was happily waiting and showed us to our room (at 8am she let us check in). The room was #51 and had a sea view. The balcony and room itself was quite nice. The bathroom wasn't great but it wasn't dirty or anything. All the taps had salt water which we found quite strange. The pool area was awesome, and the owner even brought us out lemon squares while we were swimming. Main downside was that the wifi was only working outside the reception area (wifi was showing up in our room with a strong signal but just wouldn't work). There was a small kitchen area with a sink and fridge but no cutlery, plates or anything. No dish towels either. There were a few random cups in the cupboard. The area was quite nice, 5 minute walk to Mayo beach (I think?) It's the far end of Perissa beach and was a black sand beach. Also close to a decent sized market and the bus stop to get to Oia and Fira. There are quite a few food places along the beach close to the hotel. Also, for our entire stay, we couldn't find any staff and the reception was closed the whole time. Plus, when we did find the owner, she didn't speak much english, but definitely enough to get your point across. But if you're wanting a place with lots of advice or help from staff, you definitely won't get it here. But there is a tourist office not far and they book ferries and shuttles and...
