Fodor's Expert Review Spetses Hotel

Enjoy both privacy—surrounded by greenery, beach, and water—and proximity (about a 20-minute walk) to town at this spot, which dates back to the 1970s. Waiters can bring drinks to your lounge chair on the small private beach, and breakfast can be taken in bed, on your balcony, or in the terrace restaurant. Blue-carpeted guest rooms have wood-veneer beds covered in plaid spreads, and balconies with either a stunning sea or a town view. The helpful staff can help you arrange excursions to mainland sights, and the hotel provides transportation on arrival and departure.
