Afroditi Venus Beach Hotel and Spa

Lyndsey Hunt

The hotel was very pretty, however the facilities left a lot to be desired. The hotel was advertised as having a gym. On arriving I was told that was a mistake and they have asked Jet2 to remove this from the website. This was a big factor in choosing a hotel for me as I wanted to continue my training programme so it was very disappointing to find it wasnt available. I had booked half board. Breakfast was brilliant, lots of choice and really tasty. Dinner was another thing entirely. You could choose a starter, main and desert from the menu as part of the meal package. The main meal almost every day left a lot to be desired. The chicken and pork skewers were both about 75%fat. The lamb dish was tough and chewy. Almost every night items were unavailable from the desert menu, often with ice cream being the only choice. It was a very poor offering for a 3 star hotel. I ended up going out to local restaurants to eat on more than one occasion. The room was nice and comfortable until night time came. Then it was lit up like a disco with a very large bright orange light above the door, the light from the door card slot and the window above the door which had no curtain. I had more sleep on the sun lounger outside than in the room. Finally the beach area. It was lovely and the sunloungers were comfy. However it was not a good set up for a lone traveller. The closest toilets were in the hotel meaning I had to choose between leaving my belongings on the beach unattended or taking them and losing my sunlounger. One other woman who was lone travelling had her belongings removed from a lounger while she went to the toilet by the beach attendant to allow a family to take her place. Supposedly there was a drinks service at the beach but I was never served when I asked for service. Luckily I had planned on doing lots of sightseeing so found myself out of the hotel the majority of the time but it ended up being a very expensive base to return to for a meal and to sleep.

The staff are so polite! The hotel is so clean! Beautiful beach out back. Amazing staff serving drinks on the beach. Gyros was the best we tried. So many amazing things to say about this hotel from the people at reception by the front door to the the restaurant and beach. Beautiful, stunning, sun burnt. We will definitely be back and coming here too. ❤️

Just steps away from the beach, Afroditi offers free beach chairs and umbrellas for hotel guests. Everywhere else is 10€. Very cutesy hotel with decent rooms. Nice pool areas. There is no gym. Free breakfast is included with your stay from 7-10:30am, and the buffet has good food. They also have a nice restaurant, with other accommodations.

It exceeded my expectations. The service is impeccable; the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and valued. The rooms are comfortable, featuring balconies with beautiful views, and they are clean and equipped with all the amenities you could ask for. The dining options are delightful, offering delicious cuisine that showcases local flavors. The ambiance is serene, making it the perfect retreat. I truly believe this hotel deserves all the best stars! It’s a home away from home, and I can’t wait to return again soon. Highly recommended! 🩵🤍

Good location right on the water. Staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms are small, we had a small clearance around the bed to walk and the bathroom was small also, you could touch the door with your foot from the toilet. Lets be honest, you're in Santorini and you shouldn't be spending much time in the hotel room. The wifi is terrible. You connect to the TV for wifi and the strength is just enough for your room, don't think you're going to connect to the wifi at the pool. There is a main lobby wifi and can be used at breakfast but it's spotty. Breakfast was good in my opinion but not so good to others I was traveling with. Good yogurt, lots of breads to pick from, a few hot plates, chesses, cold meats, baked goods, even cereal. Has something for everyone, even picky kids. The location is where you want to be. It's on the promenade/boardwalk where all the restaurants and shops are and easy access to the beach. One thing to mention though is how the rooms are numbered. You walk past the #400 rooms to get to the #200 rooms but then you also are around the #300 rooms. It feels as though the hotel was small and kept building onto the main building. Some of the larger suites are much newer looking than the smaller rooms. 4 pools to use with 2 larger ones and 2 smaller more intimate. The smaller ones are available to everyone but just in areas that most people don't walk. The "hot tub" in the large suites are more "warm tubs". When calling maintenance they informed us that the tubs are at 90 degrees F and that is what's intended. So not the 100+ most are used to. I would stay here again if we came back.
