Absolutely perfect location for a great beach holiday. Lovely spacious room which was cleaned thoroughly daily and overlooked the pool. Everything we needed close by and everyone super friendly. Special thanks to Alex who looked after us so well. Would definitely recommend.

We got room for 4 on the second floor with nice size patio with sea view. The room was large with nice bathroom. Very cute and it had AC. Definitely recommending this hotel. Very close to the beach. There was also nice maintained swimming pool. Next to it there are huge amount of restaurants. Also it has easy parking in the back.

I recommend it for a relaxing holiday, where everything is within easy reach. The apartment is very clean and spacious, with a terrace where you can enjoy meals in complete tranquility. The common area with a very welcoming pool is also lovely. The staff is friendly and very attentive to detail. We had a wonderful time!

Liked: Staff & service
Alex was the best and sincerely accommodating. He was like this from the get go when he picked us up from the port. When we needed pool towels and blanket, he was more than helpful. We are easy and don’t need our room cleaned everyday so that was easier for housekeeping. Only a couple of negative issues I found, was the adjoining bar, which is connected to Joy, called Jo Jo and housekeeping didn’t want us to stay past our check out time even though Alex gave us until 1pm to leave instead of 11am. Jo Jo was unwelcoming and thought they were some exclusive Miami Beach bar. There were not many visitors and at night the bars were all empty but for some reason, the staff at this EMPTY bar was still as snooty as heck. What a joke!!!! So, we spent our time and money down the road at places that were not pushy or give off the arrogance at the EMPTY place called Jo Jo.

Wow – what an incredible place! Staying at Joy Hotel felt like coming home to family. From the moment we arrived, Kostas gave us the warmest welcome, instantly putting us — and the kids — at ease. Our room was by far the biggest and best of our Santorini stay, with all the amenities we needed and a beautiful view of the pool, sunbeds, and deck area. The cold bottle of water in the fridge — a thoughtful touch from Kostas and team was a lifesaver in the summer heat! Right outside is the stunning black sand beach, our favorite on the island, with JoJo’s Bar just steps away, offering great cocktails and lively vibes. The area is full of stylish beachside cafes and restaurants, perfect for long walks along Perivolos Beach. We had a delicious meal at Coralli next door, where we were warmly welcomed and even given free sunbeds on the beach — a lovely perk thanks to Kostas’s great local connections. Best of all, we caught the breathtaking Santorini sunrise, an unforgettable moment made even more special by staying here. Kostas truly went above and beyond — he made our stay unforgettable and is a real asset to the hotel. Credit should also go to Anna for her warm and friendly service. For us and the kids, this was the highlight of our Santorini trip. Thank you!

Loving Santorini!!

Perivolos was an amazing town for my vacation and Joy Beach is just across the street and I could see the sea from my balcony. JoJo's, the adjacent hotel has a full service bar and restaurant with great food (Bream was excellent). Areti was so sweet, warm and accommodating - loved her!

Located a quick 2 minute walk to the beach, however you have paid or eat a restaurant to secure a location on the beach. The property needs some TLC, Property maintenance is lacking, lot of discarded items are visible. BTW, you cannot flush toilet paper at this property and have to discard in the waste basket. Pool was decent and lot of dining options. The staff is kind and will arrange tours and shuttle to the airport if needed. We walked to a bakery and restaurants away from the main areas, food was much better and less expensive. Great location but would look at other options next time we visit.

I specifically booked a room with two double beds, as I was travelling with a friend, (and I selected that style of room from the room options listed at the Joy Beach Hotel on the Expedia app/website). When we arrived there was only one bed in the room. No one from the hotel responded to my messages and I went to reception twice during the open hours posted but no one was there. My request for two beds went ignored by the hotel and the receptionist, although nice, kept making excuses as if it was my fault and not the hotel’s. We had to make up the couch with sheets ourselves and it was the most uncomfortable option for a second ‘bed’ you could possibly imagine. The communication continued to remain almost nonexistent and my requests for a different room or refund (as emailed by Expedia as per my request) went completely ignored. When the hotel finally contacted me it was to blame me for the issues and claim I didn’t try to contact them. The facilities overall were average, we rarely had hot water, and there was a dirty broken jacuzzi tub on our balcony. Will definitely not return and do not recommend. Extremely disappointed.

Sorry but can't recommend.

To be fair our room was spacious and extremely comfortable. I love having a kettle that works and a selection of tea bags. It was a very welcome and nice addition that there was a bottle of cold mineral water in the room fridge. The hotel email communication was not welcoming but extremely quick to respond and efficient. It was very efficient that my email request that two single beds would be ideal was efficiently organised. Because it has happened to us on a couple of occasions that, when making a booking, we have clicked on "Two Singles" and arrived to find a double. On the negative side, the hotel receptionist seemed unable to disguise her ire that as we were arriving in the middle of the night - due to ferries - without using the hotel's transport service. But, we had a problem that we had to take another traveler to the airport and we didn't think that the hotel transport service would take other people to other destinations. So we had to ring a number to alert the receptionist that we had arrived and that was not very comforting because one never knows if phone numbers are going to work or not, especially with international phones. There needs to be a way to contact reception at the hotel without a phone number. We thought we might have to sleep on a sunbed if the worst came to the worst. Granted we were not the ideal guests arriving in the middle of the night on our own, but stuff happens and we got a rude and cold welcome.

Viva Vasilis 🙏❤

The place itself is not falling apart or anything, but it sure needs a bucket of paint and probably more than that. With that said and out of the way, we wanna say that the staff is super nice and extremely helpful, especially Vasilis, the host/manager! He will help you with anything from car rental, port/airport transfer, recommend places for you to see and proper Greek tavernas and restaurants to eat at. His english is excellent and he's easy to talk to. Fantastic guy!!!! By far he is the best to say about Joy Beach Hotel...

Extended our stay because we loved it so much!

We have originally booked 5 nights at Joy Beach Hotel, however ended up extending our stay because we loved it so much! Christos has been extremely helpful and accommodating in making sure we were settled and we could not thank him enough for making our stay at the hotel. His recommendations for activities on the island in particular (that he even set up for us) were amazing. The hotel is small and lovely, it has a great location, few steps away from a beach, beach bar and plenty of restaurants. Our room was extremely spacious with a sea-view terrace. This hotel is an absolute gem and we will definitely return!
