Blue Dolphins was amazing. The staff went out of their way to help us feel welcomed and comfortable, even providing an upgrade to a larger room with a private balcony, which we loved! The views cannot be beat and the location is perfect- quiet and not crowded.

Amazing experience, beautiful views. Yanni at the reception is my person, he was so kind, knowledgeable, helpful, and made my stay more than I could have imagined. I felt cared for, like I was with family. This trip was everything and more. I will be back.

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!
Keydy, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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
Sarah Jane, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good view of the volcanic island

Stayed 2 nights in this property - it is at the edge town of Firostefani which is sandwich between Thera and Imerovigli. The hotel (like many of the hotels in Santorini requires one to walk down/up the flag of stairs but as isn't too far from the main street thus it wasn't too much of a hike. Should one have big luggage, recommend to ring them up to assist the bag or only bring small bags during your stay here
Shao Hern, 2-night trip

Beautiful room with amazing staff!

Blue Dolphin apartments are beautiful. I loved all of the curvy lines and the room was excellent. The staff are super helpful and I really enjoyed my stay with the exception of the construction, which included a jack hammer, at 7 am. They explained that they have deadlines to get the construction done by a certain time so it made sense, but it might be good to offer a discount if you are going to have to put up with constant noise all day. It is so lovely though and completely perfect in every other way so I would still stay again noise and all.
Andrea, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Breakfast is ok with real orange juice but no milk! Just one mini tomato for each person! And apple-slices not fruit-salad! Too noisy and in the night. on/off non stop noise like a motor-sound/ turbine !!! At 7 am the stuff starting to prepare Breakfast too noisy! Small bed for two! 140 cm! Too expensive for that quality Not again!
farnoosh, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Blue Dolphins Apartments & Suites is the perfect place to stay when visiting Santorini. We stayed in the "honeymoon suite" with the hot tub on the balcony overlooking the caldera and it was gorgeous. My adult children stayed in the "Cave House" and they loved it. The views were amazing and the location is perfect. There are so many dining options within walking distance and the breakfast provided by the hotel was delicious. The staff is very kind, helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay there perfect. I read a lot of comments in the reviews about the many stairs within the hotel and I was surprised when I arrived that the stairs are even mentioned at all. Yes, there are many stairs but there is a narrow ramp next to the stairs that is the perfect size to accommodate rolling your suitcase on, freeing you up from having to carry your luggage. Some of the rooms do not require you walking down any stairs to access them. My advice is to have one member of your party walk empty handed to the reception area to check in and receive your room key and location, possibly avoiding moving luggage down any stairs. And frankly, if you or anyone in your party can not manage a lot of stairs then Santorini might not be the best destination because the many stairs are not restricted to this hotel, they are everywhere on Santorini. We rented a car and there was always a free parking spot by the hotel. Overall I think this hotel is a 5 star hotel.
Lori, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

my wife and I have traveled around the world and it’s not an exaggeration to say that we were blown away by our experience at Blue Dolphins. The view from our balcony was more spectacular than any view we saw in Santorini. Service and accommodations were equal to a five star hotel. Highly highly recommend.

It was an amazing place. We were fortunate to receiving an upgrade at no cost. Great location walkable to all places. Would definitely recommend.

Great central location high up on the rim of the caldera looking down on the beautiful white buildings and blue pools. The only thing .issing was an onsite pool.

10/10 Exceptional

Muy buena elección, calidad/precio excelente. Destaca el desayuno, muy bueno y llevado a la puerta de tú habitación, para tomar frente al mar. En cuanto a la habitación, hay distintas ubicaciones dentro del complejo, pero diría que todas son de un tamaño medio, sin vistas al mar directamente, pero sí desde alguna de las zonas, terraza, exteriores... Tan sólo faltaría la piscina para ser perfecto ;)
Emilio José Vela, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

This property was very nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. One downside is there is no restaurant or other dining facilities on property. There were, however, a number of places in close walking proximity. The only "problem" I had with the hotel was access to the Reception check-in area was down too many steps and so access to and from the room with the bags was extremely difficult. It's best to travel light when staying there. All in all, I would definitely recommend this property to others.

Views are amazing. Room was not clean and bathroom had mold. Some ants in room. But for the most part it was great

2/10 Poor

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.
