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.

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.

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!

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!

Great location, comfortable bed
We only stayed in this location for one evening but it was a great choice for our last night in Santorini. It is located just a block from the black sands beach, 24/7 pool, healthy breakfast, and very close to lots of restaurants and bars on the beach. Everyone in Santorini is so friendly and accommodating, especially at this hotel.

Joy is a small hotel 11 rooms Best thing about this hotel is the staff Maria Nicolas and the team made you feel welcome and we’re alwsys happy and positive. Hotel has lovely pool which is kept very clean with nice loungers & umbrellas. The breakfast is excellent and all the food drink was topped up throughout the breakfast period. The other positive is the situation of the hotel to the beach (50 metres) and the fact you can walk 5 mins to quieter beach area if you wish The hotel is situated behind JoJos beach bar which is an impressive bar pool restaurant that extends to luxury sun lounging area on the beach. This bar is vibrant and targets the younger holiday maker which means there is loud music playing during the day. We had teenagers with us so it didn’t affect us However Important to note that the music quietens down late afternoon and doesn’t start up until late morning so not as if it’s a constant Overall very good

Good value hotel
The Joy Beach Resort is not a resort by American standards but nice just the same. It was comfortable and most importantly clean. The property manager, Maria, was extremely friendly and helpful. Although this hotel was not luxurious by American standards for the price it was well worth the stay. The location was perfect if this was where you were looking to stay when on the Island. The WIFI was slow, but we found it to be slow in most of Greece. One strange thing. Flushing toilet paper is frowned upon at this hotel as well as many places with older plumbing on Santorini.

Perfect location close to the beach.
The location was perfect right across the road from the beach. The room was very clean and spacious. Lovely big balcony with jacuzzi. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Were able to get a later checkout as our flight was leaving in the evening. The pool and surrounding grounds were very clean. A continental Breakfast was included and was of high standard and delicious. Public transport was close by so easy to get around. Plenty of restaurants to choose from in the area but look around as some were overpriced and food not that great. Would stay there again.

There is Jojo's bar next to the hotel, with a gorgeous beach front setting & view.
