    Our stay here was perfect!

    The location is close to restaurants, shops and public transport, but in a quiet place so we slept very good. Red beach, white beach and black beach are close to the property.The view on two sides-Caldera on one side, the dome and the castle on the other side are amazing.The swimming pool is big and very clean.The staff was very nice and helpful and we did the check in earlier than normal and also late check out.They did clean every morning our room.The breakfast beside the swimming pool was delicious.If we choose again Santorini, we'll comeback again.Thank you!

    Beautiful property can’t fault it, there was a hill so maybe if you don’t like hills but everything was great and brilliant experience 🥰🥰

    Lovely room, clean, comfortable, spacious, and a great location - lovely peaceful spot with some lovely restaurants down the hill and very close to several bus stops that can bring you around the island! 😊 Manager was so lovely, and can’t thank them enough for how great and welcoming and helpful they were! Highly recommend!! 😊

    We really enjoyed our one week holiday at Thira’s Dolphin. Our 4 pers accomodation was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Two separate rooms each of them airconditioned. The breakfast was fine. Not like in a huge hotel with an giant buffet but for this number of rooms and according to our expectations there was enough variety. We loved the multi cereal bagels and the cream cheese with honey. The owners were discrete but available if you needed them. The pool is phantastic: great beds, every day clean pool towels and swimming with your eyes on a church tower and old venetian castle. Unique! Also the views on the caldera and sea were astonishing! Akrotiri center by foot takes only a few minutes. There you can find Some nice restaurants. Also at the harbour of Akrotiri we ate in very good taverns. Red Beach very nearby. We would highly recommend Thira’sDolphin if you go to Santorini. Oia and Phira are easy to reach by car or bus. It takes you only 40 minutes to Oia, 25 minutes to Phira.

    I feel the hotel management should provide free transportation services at no cost to the hotel initially. A bottle of water was only provided at check in. During room refreshment/turnover no other water bottle was provided the remaining two nights for our stay. Also at breakfast we had hoped for more of a variety option to enjoy.

    Our host Ms. Thira was most gracious and welcoming as she offered as service a glass of juice for my wife and I at check-in. She recommended some points of interests and information regarding the island of Santorini. Quiet, historic,refreshing and beautifully manicured property.

    Breakfast could have been a little more plentiful, by comparison to other Greek island accommodation. Staff weren’t overly friendly, albeit satisfactory. Frustratingly, to make a coffee in the the room, it was necessary to move the “hospitality tray” that the kettle was connected to, to actually plug it in.

    Lovely clean pool, well located apartment within walking distance of some nice restaurants. Car needed to visit Thira & Oia Plenty of free parking

    Nothing to dislike at all. My one and only negative point is what may possibly have been a WiFi unit in the room (11) located near the ceiling which had a blue light that could not be covered or turned off, and at night cast a pallid glow across the room. I shall mention this to Kypriati.

    This property has an excellent location almost at the top of Akrotiri village behind a beautiful church and the old Venetian Castle. There are stunning views of the caldera, and the sea on both sides of this part of the island, from the pool and breakfast area. It has a useful large car park, once you have negotiated the narrow winding (one-way) street accessed from the caldera/lighthouse road. The hosts/owners are friendly, charming and very helpful. Breakfast was a good selection of typical Greek provender. Akrotiri is a quiet village away from the madness of Fira and other areas of Santorini, yet still has plenty of good tavernas only a short walk downhill from Thiras Dolphin.

    It was very basic for the price we paid, the breakfast was low quality, there was a lot of dust under the bed. the shower was broken ,the location was remote in relation to the major attractions.the pool temperature was always very cold.there was no beach close enough to walk to.

    The hosts were okay but not the most hospitable and quite cold. The room only got cleaned 3 times in a week, and when it was cleaned it wasn’t to a good enough standard. A kettle was supplied which was covered in thick dust, the top of the bed was the same and there were hairs from the previous guests left in the bathroom. They complained that the room wasn’t empty one day when they wanted to clean it, however on this particular day I was sick so I was staying in, I said to them we have been out everyday, all week so they had the chance to clean it then. Be aware if you have a late flight there is no chance of getting an extension on your room, and no where to get showered and changed. We had to get showered and changed round the pool! However the hosts were nice enough to let us lock our suitcases in the reception all day.

    The location was lovely. A 5 min walk to the local village of Akrotiri where the people were very pleasant. About a 20-30 min walk from the red beach. Pool area was lovely and not normally crowded, so it was easy to get beds in the morning. No matter what room you get the views are amazing. Good access to bus route that can take you around the whole island.
