Not a customer or budget friendly facility

The room smelled really bad like backed up sewage. We requested an alternate room and we were told they didn't have any. However when we called hotels.com and complained, the facility magically found another room. Also it claims we can see sunset, but there is a facility right infront that blocks the view so cant really see any sunset. We had requested info regarding stairs in the facility. we were told there were able 10 stairs, which turned out way more than that.

I had such a lovely stay at Blue Dolphins! The romantic suite was beautiful, and had a such an amazing view of the sunset every night from my balcony! The room itself was nicely set up and clean. Christina was so helpful in answering my questions and providing support when needed, along with recommending some eateries nearby. My only feedback is that the breakfast could be better, given that it costs an additional $15 per day. But do appreciate the breakfast being delivered and picked up from my room. I will definitely be staying here again and recommend to others!

Refused Refund/Credit for Earthquake

For weeks before and after our scheduled stay at Santorini, there were thousands of mini earthquakes around Santorini...ranging up to 5.8. There were travel advisories against visiting island and locals and tourists were vacating the island as precautions. Eventually a state of emergency was announced for Santorini. We requested a cancellation of our stay at Blue Dolphins due to the earthquake activities....but, however were not allowed refund or credit due to earthquakes.

The room was spacious, clean, and beautiful. My only concern was that one of the shower heads did not work. We needed to shower in one of the bathrooms. However, this was not a big deal at all.

The staff was super helpful and so nice. Breakfast was included, and it was delicious!! They bring it to your room. We stayed in room 106 and our sunset was stunning. I will recommend 106 or 107 for amazing sunset views since are the highest room on this location. Room 107 has the best view!

Fabulous sunset view from the balcony. The tap water tastes salty. We ended up using bottled water to make coffee. Breakfasts were huge. We couldn't finish them.

Wonderful views, unique experience.

We stayed in the cave room. It had incredible views from the private patio. But there is no view from the room. We thought it would have a small view from the windows on the front doors, but those only look out to an enclosed patio. We spent most of the daytime on the patio, but it’s something to keep in mind if there during bad weather. The cave was a fun experience but smelled musty. It was super quiet because of the off season. I only saw 5-10 people near the hotel in 2 days! Beautiful walk to Fira. The breakfast was delicious, and they supplied gluten free breads and cookies. We arrived at 7pm and were surprised to see reception closed at 6pm. There was a note on the door for directions to the room, but it would have been nice if this were communicated before. Easy parking near the hotel. Overall we loved our time here.

As with most accommodations in Santorini, getting to it involves a lot of stairs. Good thing that the team has some muscles to assist with my luggage. Was not expecting breakfast but had a nice farewell meal. Friendly affectionate kitties are around to share the meal too

Fabulous views and service

We loved this hotel! Amazing views from inside and out. Lots of stairs so not for you if you have mobility issues but we thought it was so special to be perched up on high overlooking the town. It would have been amazing with a pool but you can’t have everything! Great service and a delicious breakfast brought to your room was the highlight for our kids We had a good sized space for our family of four for 3 nights. We loved it
