We had such a lovely stay at Dolphin Bay Hotel. The location is absolutely beautiful, with stunning views of the sea and the most peaceful atmosphere. It feels like the perfect place to slow down, relax, and enjoy the beauty of Syros.The hotel is very comfortable, family-friendly, and welcoming, and the staff were kind, helpful, and always available with a smile. Everything felt easy, from the rooms (amazing two-bedroom suite!) to the pool, the beach access, and the overall experience.What I loved most was the feeling of being somewhere simple, authentic, and full of Greek summer charm. It’s the kind of place where you can truly unwind, enjoy beautiful sunsets, and create lovely memories with family or friends.Thank you to the Dolphin Bay team for a wonderful stay. We would happily come back. Highly recommended!

Lovely few days at this great hotel.
30 May 2026
We had three days in this hotel and it surpassed my expectations. We dont usually stay in resort style places but as friends were staying we decided to join them and we were not disappointed. Rooms are clean, comfortable and well laid out and appear to have been recently updated. Beds are a little narrow but with good mattresses. Breakfast and lunch was included in the price and both offered a great buffet with a varied selection of savoury dishes and salads. The dessert section deserved revisiting, again and again! Cold drinks, coffee and a beer tap were also included. The location cannot be beat, overlooking what is, for me, the best beach in Syros. The view from our balcony (see pics below) was mesmerising. Staff very friendly and helpful. We were super happy with our stay here and intend to return again. Tip: Climb the few steps to the small church next to the hotel at sunset for incredible views.

Our Fourth Time—And It Just Keeps Getting Better!
26 Sept 2025
We recently completed our fourth stay at the Dolphin Bay Seaside Resort & Suites, spending a fantastic six days here as a couple with our three children. It’s a testament to this resort's consistent quality that we keep choosing to return; it is always such a pleasant experience, backed by truly attentive and seamless service.This trip was particularly memorable thanks to our exceptional accommodation. We were assigned a superb two-bedroom suite featuring a spacious living room. The highlight, without a doubt, was the large, private balcony. Waking up every morning to the breathtaking, panoramic view of the bay was an incredible way to start the day. The suites are perfectly designed for families, offering the space and comfort needed to truly relax.Beyond the spacious rooms, the resort excels in its amenities and hospitality, particularly with its staff. They are consistently singled out in reviews for being incredibly helpful and welcoming, making every guest feel like a valued returner. Crucially, the team was responsive to our every request, handling each inquiry with meticulous care and professionalism. This level of personalized service truly sets Dolphin Bay apart.For families, the location and facilities are ideal. The pool area is sparkling clean and beautifully maintained, and the resort offers direct, easy access to the stunning, crystal-clear beach just steps away.Finally, the culinary experience is top-tier. The breakfast buffet is excellent, generous, and wonderfully varied, ensuring there is something delicious for every member of our family.If you are seeking an immaculate, service-oriented, and ideally located seaside retreat that caters perfectly to families, Dolphin Bay Seaside Resort & Suites is an absolute must.

Due to an unfortunate change of plans we were left without lodging and had to scramble and find a place to stay 2 nights. Because of the ability to accommodate us and the kindness of the front desk staff, they get 2 stars. Otherwise this is a 1 star situation. This hotel might’ve been 4 stars when it first opened in 1994 but it hasn’t been looked after. This donkey has been worked to death. The rooms are so dated and not touched up, walls swollen from humidity, paint chipping, slimy marks on the walls, old fashioned bathrooms, the mattress was hard a prison cell, no room to walk around, bird droppings all over the chairs and balcony railings, just no attention to any details. Breakfast buffet is reasonable, food tasted fine, but only 2 coffee machines and a spread that feels very small for a hotel of this size. The pool is big and deep but unfortunately there’s green mold growing in the caulk and in the filters all around the pool which you can see from swimming around the ledge in the pool. The only redeeming quality about the hotel is the proximity to Galissas beach which is perfect, and how nice the staff was across the board, room cleaners, guys at the pool, and front desk. The reception area stinks of cigarette smoke every day, completely inappropriate in 2025. They cater to families here so anticipate lots of screaming children everywhere. Also they are dog friendly apparently and do not impose leash requirements at all times since someone had a large German shepherd on the ground level that nearly attacked my father. We stayed 2 other nights at Hotel Benois and that was bliss, stay there instead.
