Caldera's Dolphin Suites

This is our 5th stay at Calderas Dolphin Suites since first coming on honeymoon in 2017 Once again our stay was outstanding with Kyriakos and his team as welcoming, friendly and amazing as always The staff are helpful, friendly and always have a smile Kyriakos ‘ knowledge of the best places for cocktails and food on the island once again did not disappoint with a balcony table booked at Franco’s in Pyrgos a highlight Thanks once again for making our holiday so special were we also celebrated our wedding anniversary and my husbands birthday once again We will hopefully see you again next year

We recently stayed at this lovely hotel for 7 days. Sebastian met us outside the hotel and took our suitcases and led us to reception. Before we checked in he offered us a cold drink which we had outside overlooking the fantastic sea view, a great start to our holiday. We were then shown to our room, which unbeknown to us had been upgraded to a junior suite, we were in Santorini celebrating a birthday and anniversary. We chose to have breakfast on our balcony overlooking the sea most mornings, at a time of our choosing. It was delivered on time and the choice was excellent. This is a small hotel with only 15 rooms, which suits us, every member of staff we spoke to couldn't do enough for us. One thing we did pick upon was that they all loved working at this hotel, it was a happy place. The outside space including the pool was very peaceful, well looked after and clean. There were always plenty of towels for the sun beds. One day i needed to go to a local pharmacy so I spoke to reception for directions. Kyriagos, the manager was concerned the walk there was down a busy main road with gaps in the footpath. He insisted he took me in the hotel minibus. It was very much appreciated, the road was quite busy. We decided to book a hire car for a couple of days. Kyriagos contacted a local car hire company and arranged it all for us, with the car being delivered to the hotel. We were also given a guide of all the best laces to visit on our travels. We had a wonderful holiday in Santorini and would highly recommend staying at this lovely friendly hotel. Well done team.

My husband and I have just returned from this wonderful hotel. We cannot express how amazing the hotel manager and his team are! From the minute we arrived we were personally greeted and made to feel most welcome. Our room (no 10) was just as the photos... perfect decor and immaculately clean. The bed and pillows were of high quality that led to the most perfect sleep. Towels were heavy and fluffy and complimentary bathroom supplies were replenished daily of which suited my hair brilliantly! Even the hotel hairdryer situated in a perfect location by the bathroom mirror was preferable to using my own that seemed to overheat. Bathrobes and slippers were provided which is another great option when taking breakfast on your rooms balcony. Talking of breakfast, you have the option of having it delivered to your room or sitting at the tables set around the pool. We chose to enjoy the luxury of eating in our room. The options, quality and delivery of breakfast was first class. Nothing was too much trouble and the kitchen staff happily accommodated the changes we requested. You complete a breakfast menu each day for the following morning allowing you to order as much or little as you need and to be delivered at a time of your choosing. How civilised! The hotel and area is small and intimate, perfect for couples who want peace! The views are spectacular including being in a prime position to enjoy spectacular daily sunsets. Finally, we just want to thank the hotel for making our holiday a perfect place to stay. Your staff are what makes this hotel so special

Honestly, this was the most wonderfully relaxing holiday I think I’ve ever been on and it’s 100% down to Caldera’s Dolphin Suites. The place is simple and elegant, clean and well maintained. The people are incredible from the experienced and knowledgeable reception staff to the friendly and welcoming catering team - nothing is too much trouble. The hotel is set on a cliff top with stunning views over the Caldera, Tholos national park, Thirasia and Oia in the distance. A breeze blows through keeping you cool whilst sunbathing by the pool. They say the best sunsets are in Oia but the sun setting over the Caldera from the poolside at Caldera’s Dolphin Suites hands down beat anything else we saw in the island. Stay here… you won’t regret it.

Recently, we arrived home after spending a week at this lovely little boutique hotel. Here are some plus and minus points to consider Plus points: All the staff have a superb attitude to its guests and bend over backwards to ensure your stay is of the highest calibre The hotel is situated 15 minutes walk from the local village and a prime spot for the caldera sunset. There are only 15 rooms so it's generally really quiet and peaceful There are plenty of shaded areas (a previous review stated that this was an issue). Maybe the hotel acted on this recommendation? The complex and rooms are spotless and maintained to a high standard. The hotel offers a daily free shuttle service into Fira and Perivulos, which saves you some money. Sebastian and Kiriakos are excellent. They have an extensive knowledge of the island, and they booked all the restaurants we chose for us. All staff are a credit to the owners The room was cleaned impeccably The facilities are enough for long stays and the food was very well prepared. The margarita pizza and the tuna salad are to die for. If you are salt intolerant, then remember to tell the chef no added salt as they use a bit to season the food after its cooked. The only issues I had was that our room #15, which is the honeymoon double, was Quite small, there wasn't much room to move around the bed when there are 2 of you getting ready. Also, the whirlpool is overlooked by the pool terrace above, so it wasn't that private, and guests going down or up the stairs in front could look over the balcony really easily. On 2 occasions, I had to ask the cleaner to move off the step outside our gate because her smoking fumes wafted onto our balcony and up my nose. The smoking area is not outside guest rooms, nor should it be allowed. There are only a couple of restaurants in the local village and not all of them have good reviews Lastly, and sadly, I found the cocktails quite bland. Compared to other restaurants and bars, the mojito and pins colada are weak. The aperol spritz are great, though. Despite these minor things, we would definitely book again, but the bigger room next time.

What a wonderful place. I don't think that I could praise it enough. The views are amazing, the rooms beautiful and clean and the service is excellent. Best of all are the staff. I can't remember every name but Kyriagos is knowledgeable, helpful and cheerful. Arfan is always there working very hard and willing to do any task. Rena and Maria are lovely as are all of the rest of the breakfast and evening team at the bar, restaurant and pool. If you are wanting somewhere peaceful and calm with a charming sophistication that is not in your face, then this is it. You'll also be right next to a winery and have a short walk to a very traditional and beautiful town of Megalochori. I recommend The Symposium, where Yannis is amazing, Gavalas winery, Lost Atlantis Experience. Prygos is just as amazing as Oia and a lot quieter! If you book here you won't be disappointed. Thank you, Kyriagos and your team!
