We enjoyed our stay here, the hotel was clean and comfortable, the front desk staff were friendly and made all our local shuttle bookings. The breakfast was excellent, great selection of hot and cold items. 5 minutes to the local beach in Kamari and lots of nice restaurants to visit. Downside was that the pool and bar area were not open until 10am and closed by 7pm so no early morning swim if you like that sort of thing, or a nightcap before bedtime. Otherwise a great place to stay for a short trip to Santorini, the airport is close by but the ferry port is on the other side of the island (if you come in that way). We would stay here again.
We had a lovely stay at Rivari hotel, 3 adults sharing a family room with 2 bedrooms. Clean and spacy, with the extra benefit of 2 bathrooms. The only downside were the beds, which were too hard for us. Othwerwise nothing to complain about, the staff was really flexible and nice, so we would surely visit again!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Good location close to the Kamari beach. Hotel doesn’t provide a kettle in the room which was a bit annoying you had to go to the breakfast room to get a coffee, which your not allowed to take back to your rooms.
Stayed with family for 4 nights. Very good overall.
Pros:
Nice and quiet environment.
Clean rooms and surrounding.
Daily housekeeping and towel replacement.
Good breakfast buffet.
Helpful staff.
Cons:
No tea/coffee/water provided with kettle.
Conditioner provided but no shampoo.
It was about a 10 minute walk to the beach but still worth the stay and walk. We usually stopped at the supermarket which is halfway. Staff is awesome from check in to cleaning ladies. Hotel us always spotless in the rooms and hallways included. Breakfast was a bonus for us I was not aware it was included. This family obviously cares about their visitors.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The staff is really helpful and kind. It is important to note that the water in the taps is salty, originating from sea water.
We had to stock up on drinking bottles .
The breakfast is not very rich. The meals at the pool bar are excellent. We had a serious leak in the room, from sewers.We didnt received any compensation or even an offer for a compensation.
Lovely hotel with ample room space. Pool area and pool bar highly recommended. Easy walking distance to vast array of restaurants and beach close.
Staff excellent. Receptionist friendly and helpful. Breakfast staff on the ball keeping area clean and stocked up.
Hotel poolside and all areas are immaculately well kept. The staff down to the cleaners are exceptionally friendly and helpful. The breakfast was extremely plentiful with lots of different choices of local and continental foods. The rooms were a very good size with really good showers..the views of the pool and sea in the backround from ours was amazing. The Rivari is set in a very quiet relaxing location it is only a 5 minute walk to all the bars and restaurants and kamari beach. This is rated a 3 star but it exceeds many 4 star places. If you're looking for a calm place to relax i highly recommend the Rivari. I dont often say i'd return to the same place but if i went back to santorini this would be high on my list. This is real Greek hospitality at its best.
Sehr angenehmes Hotel, saubere Zimmer ein schöner Pool, Frühstück vollkommend ausreichend, alles frisch zubereitet, das gesamte Personal freundlich und aufmerksam. Super netter Barkeeper an der Poolbar wir haben uns wohlgefühlt.
Das einzige was man ändern könnte wären echte Säfte morgens das war das einzige was nicht passte alles frisch und super Qualität und dann Pulversäfte.

Wir traffen an dem Tag an und hatten Probleme mit dem Licht und das Zimmer war dunkel. Später haben wir Ameisen im Zimmer.
Zimmer ist ok aber nochmals würde ich nicht mehr kommen.
Super Service des Personals, Zimmer sehr sauber, Pooltücher werden auf Wunsch zur Verfügung gestellt und es wird ein ausgezeichnetes Frühstück geboten.
Une petite perle rare a quelques pas du bord de mer, des boutiques et restaurant. Un mot surtout sur la gentillesse de l ensemble du personnel . Merci a eux
Très bon hôtel, 10 minutes à pied de la plage et de nombreux restaurants. Il est propre, le personnel très agréable. Nous avons loué une voiture mais l’arrêt de bus est à 10 min à pied pour rejoindre Fira. Il faudra prendre un autre bus à Fira pour Oia.
La chambre est correcte mais la literie n’est pas géniale. La salle de bain est vite inondée même si on fait attention. Nous entendons les avions mais cela ne nous a pas empêché de dormir.
Le petit déjeuner est varié mais beaucoup de produits industriels. On trouve de quoi manger sans problème quand même.
Pour un 3 étoiles il est très bien.
Voyage en famille (2 adultes et 2 enfants âgés de 14 et 11 ans). Séjour début août 2022
Rien à redire car tout était au rendez-vous :
*accueil et disponibilité mais aussi discrétion du personnel
*propreté des lieux
* qualité des chambres avec une bonne literie
* chambre familiale avec 2 belles chambres et 2 SDB
* belle, grande et propre piscine
* serviabilité du personnel du restaurant de la piscine
- légèrement excentre des activités prévoir 1/4 h environ ´
Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir !!
