Costa Grand Resort & Spa

The hotel is fantastic. First line on the beach is amazing. The rooms are clean, well equiped, the service is really significant, they thy to do whatever you ask. The private pool imho is overated in general, when you have a beach and water line 10 meters from the door you dont really need it, in addition to 5 pools around the hotel. Highly recomended! Be aware that the hotel is on the route of landing jets, they are probably not flying berween 00:00 and 6:00 +-, but the noise during the day, not dramatic but indeed notebale...

I love the hotel! Very clean and good service! I recommend.

We've just come back from a 2 week holiday staying at the Costa Grand in Kamari and absolutely loved it. The hotel itself is beautiful and immaculately kept and the rooms were very clean. All of the staff were so friendly and helpful, especially Anastasia and Alexandra from the dinner service, who were so lovely to us and made us feel extra welcome as well as giving us lots of tips on where to visit on the island that weren't as over-crowded as Oia and Fira. The food was also great with the right balance of variety but maintaining a high quality. As a few other reviewers have commented, the only negative would be the flight path being very close to the hotel (personally after a day, it didn't bother me but did my partner on the night flights only) but this isn't just the Costa Grand that is effected, it's more of an issue affecting Kamari as a resort so most hotels especially in the north of Kamari would be affected. Also the sea was a little tricky getting in and out on a day where the sea was a little more choppy / more waves, as the rocks are quite slippery. I highly recommend buying some water shoes with good grips, which you can get for about 12 euros at a shop round the corner. Kamari has some really lovely bars and restaurants too on the seafront, which compared to the likes of Oia and Fira are fairly reasonably priced (although the hotel cocktails were by far the nicest anyway. You'll typically pay between 12-15 euros for a cocktail in Kamari, with the hotel being 15 euros but they make the best espresso martinis and dry martini on the island!). We also hired a buggy one day and a car for 2 days, which the hotel concierge helped organise. I highly recommend getting a car if you can to see the whole of the island, as we visited some beautiful places. Everyone goes to Oia and Fira as they're the most famous parts of the island and they are without doubt beautiful, but they're also incredibly busy (mostly with people from cruise ships who in our opinion, ruined the experience for us) but there other beautiful and much quieter areas to explore such as Imerovigil, Akrotiri and Pyrgos. There is a good bus service but you have to go via Fira for all destinations which can be frustrating so in a car or buggy you can get around much easier. As we were away for 2 weeks and into my fitness at home, I used the hotel gym for about 10 days out of the 14. It's small but functional, but if there is are more than a few people in there it's too busy. Thankfully most days I was the only one in there! We also had deep tissue massages in the hotel spa, towards the start of the holiday to help us relax, which were also lovely. It was 90 euro for 60 minutes and was a great massage. There are people on the beach (who don't work for the hotel) offering massage on the beach but we didn't have one. I hate the idea of sand and sweat being on the skin and the fact the massage therapist isn't washing their hands properly between clients. I also think they were chargin

Fantastic hotel. Great facilities and really friendly staff. Breakfast is excellent and beach front rooms are perfect - opening directly onto a pool with the beach and Aegean Sea just behind for wonderful sunrises. Hotel is ideally positioned for a short walk to restaurants and bars in Kamari. Some plane noise but only lasts a few seconds and it is fun watching the planes go directly overhead. Staff work so hard and hotel is spotlessly clean.

Fabulous hotel and super friendly staff. Reception staff super helpful with information on getting around the island. Beautiful white buildings with beautiful flowers and multiple pools that we never had to fight for a sunbed at. Beachfront leading onto the promenade of bars and restaurants. Rooms are modern, everywhere is super clean and staff always cleaning and tidying all day long. Breakfast & Dinner was lovely and good qualify with items always being restocked. Would definitely recommend and we will definitely return!
