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.
