Great hotel

Lovely stay in mid September. Large pool but cool. Very close to the sandy beach.
It is a climb to some of the rooms.

Beautiful location right on the beach, very quiet and peaceful in September. Rooms large with spacious balcony. Food choice and quality excellent but could have been warmer.

Great family resort the pool and location of the beach was wonderful. Kids enjoyed free ice-cream and popcorn throughout the day.
Pool service was pricey but there are many options very close by for food and drinks.
Our room (family) was quite dated however we knew people in a single room and it was newly renovated and had great views.

Excellent location, pool and slide are a complete hit with the kids.

The only slight downside is that the pool bat closes at 6. Not sure if these hours increase for the summer though.

Not an issue really as there are a lot of amazing restaurants around town.

Excellent place for families staying in Syros. Amazing location, right on the beach, fantastic views, lovely pool, plenty of loungers and a decent enough amount of eateries. One good bar on the corner for a game of pool at the end of the evening too!!

It is the perfect family holiday place . Location next to the beach, great facilities, breakfast and choice if lunch / dinner at good value for money. Staff are very friendly and informative, nothing is too much for them. Overall one of the best holidays ever, and off course the island and the town can satisfy the most demanding visitors. We will definitely come back

Most beautiful hotel location

The best choice in the area of Galissas with an excellent stay. Sonia at the front Desk is the most accommodating staff that gives the best advice and ideas for the island! The hotel is located just under the beautiful chapel of Saint Paikou from where you can see the wonderful sunset and two most beautiful beaches of the island. Would definitely go back and recommend it to any type of traveller.

Fantastic family holiday

Fantastic position on the side of the bay with amazing views and really well designed for family holidays. Loved being among so many Greek families on holiday. Only a handful of English people staying. The pool was great - really deep and big - and steps from the sea. The staff could not have been more helpful. We were selling/buying a house in the UK during our stay and the staff helped us with printing out, witnessing and sending legal documents. Sunset was beautiful - great light.

Great family choice

Hotel was clean and nicely laid out. Great pool and right on the beach. The only downfall was it’s on the other side of the island from the main town which is great for food and nightlife.

Nice hotel close to beach with large swimming pool

We have gone to Syros for many years and love it. This year decided to stay at the Dolphin Bay Hotel. Our expectations were perhaps too high due to the price but I would say it was just ok. The plus point was the beds were very comfortable with lots of extra pillows if required. The kids enjoyed the large swimming pool and free sunbeds.

Perfect for families with children

The staff at the hotel were really helpful and friendly and assisted us with any queries really quickly. The location of the hotel is absolutely perfect for those with children as there is a large pool with a slide, a permanent lifeguard who supervises really well and a fabulous sandy and clean beach next to this with a shallow bay which stretches out for 100s of metres. It is really easy to get around the island by bus or taxi and the buses are on time and efficient - it takes 20 mins to reach Ermopoulis the main town or Kini where there is a lovely beach and waterside restaurants. The children enjoyed watching films in the evening (even though they were in Greek), these were shown on a pull-down screen in the hotel bar/lobby and could play table tennis and cards etc in the lobby as well as computer game if they wanted to. The buffet was very busy, food quite basic but fine and wine, beer and soft drinks provided free of charge with the buffet. We want to go back as we had a fantastic holiday. The children could have free ice-cream and cocktail by the pool all day which went down extremely well!

Our Dolphin Bay stay

I had not been to this hotel before, had dome apprehension, and much to my surprise it was sheer delight on all levels!! The kids absolutely loved the pool & water slide, children's movies, supervised play area and endless complimentary ice cream scoops!! Beautiful beach located alongside the hotel, plentiful breakfast variety included, and the option to include lunch and/or dinner as well. Sea view restaurant well and nightly live music entertainment by the pool bar. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful, the hotel premises very well kept, and view yo gorgeous sunsets from the up the hill chapel!! My family and I thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely return!! I really have not one negative thing to say about this hotel!

Almost entirely families with young kids

Tons of amenities for a low price. Free kid play area with babysitter so parents can relax. Daily showing of kids movies on a big screen. Free popcorn and ice cream at the pool. Two minute walking distance to beautiful beach. Free breakfast buffet was big with eggs bacon etc. rooms are located in multiple small buildings throughout a big complex. Galissas area has one cafe, 3-4 restaurants/tavernas and bus service to the port. Ideal for families. Bachelors looking to meet single women should go elsewhere.

Bad quality of Breakfast, Rude Restaurant Manager

Excelent location near a beautiful beach, any quite large pool.
Quite old hotel (over 20 years old) needs renovation.
Bad quality of breakfast and exactly the same every day (rancid bread, all products very industrialized, not a single hotel made product).
All hotel stuff were very helpful and polite except a very rude male restaurant manager who was shouting at all waitresses working there during breakfast.

Lovely stay in Galissa

Lovely hotel with big pool and a water slide. Very close to the beach. Mini market across the street and another 5 minutes walk away. We rented a car in Galissa, super easy and great service. Bus run about once an hour in high season to Ermoupoli, price 2 eur.
Our room 108 was nice, aircondition didn’t work properly, but we managed. Wi-Fi was great. Pool towels is a nice touch. Breakfast was amazing.

Location is great but the hotel needs a makeover

The place has alot of potential - a great location. But it’s really not updated in interior and rooms are very worn/old with handles almost falling out, missing confortable furniture in the room and terrace - a daybed, sunchair or something like this would be great inside and in the terrace.

Outside bamboo as roof over part of the terrace so there os shade during the warm hours and it also looks great.
The staff at the reception esa not to fríendly and could not all speak and understand english. Nice smiling man at the breakfast chekin but a chaotic and noisy breakfast experience.
The kids liked the pool and free popcorn and icecream.
The beach is great. Dont miss a hike to Stefanos church in a beautiful cave a few hours trip in good shoes.
Sorry to say but four stars is really overrated and thé price is to expensive for what you get.

A fuir sauf si maso...

Je n'ai pas pour habitude de mal noter des hôtels mais là, quelle déception : Chambre sombre. Impossible de garder la porte ouverte qui donnait directement sur le lit.... Eau non potable, salée, wi-fi absent dans la chambre (contrairement aux dires d'Internet), TV avec écran défectueux, salle de bain très étroite, lieux communs tristes avec une salle de restaurant digne d'un réfectoire d'école ! Sur 4 nuits passées 2 nuits blanches (mariage + rodéo motos).
Accueil peu chaleureux.
Piscine avec toboggan : j'attends toujours son fonctionnement. Quant à l'autre piscine, il faut y arriver avant 8 heures pour espérer pouvoir se poser....
Seul point positif : le petit déjeuner
Bref cet étoile ne peut pas être un 4 étoiles comme indiqué sur le site.

Delphine Bay is een groot hotel tegen een heuvel gebouwd.De kamers zijn groot, de badkamer is verouderd.Het ontbijt is gevarieerd.Er is een zwembad, maar dat is eigenlijk te klein voor het grote aantal gasten. Het ligt aan een mooi strand,waar de ligbedden betalend zijn:20€ per dag voor een stel.

Περάσαμε υπέροχα! Θα ξαναέρθουμε!

Το ξενοδοχείο είναι φανταστικό! Πολύ ευγενικό προσωπικό! Τα δωμάτια ευρύχωρα, πολύ καθαρά και άνετα! Κλείσαμε δύο δίκλινα δωμάτια και μας δόθηκαν δύο τρίκλινα με βεράντα και θέα θάλασσα. Υπάρχει ανελκυστήρας που οδηγεί στα δύο επίπεδα των bangalows και βανάκι που μεταφέρει, εάν το επιθυμείτε, τις αποσκευές σας στο δωμάτιο. Πολύ πλούσιο πρωινό και καλομαγειρεμένα γεύματα σε προσιτές τιμές στο beach bar του ξενοδοχείου. Δωρεάν παγωτό και ποπ κορν για τους μικρούς επισκέπτες από το beach bar! Το ξενοδοχείο βρίσκεται μπροστά στη θάλασσα και η παραλία είναι ίσως η καλύτερη του νησιού! Παρέχονται δωρεάν ξαπλώστρες στο beach bar και στο χώρο της πισίνας εντός του ξενοδοχείου. Διαθέτει όμορφους εσωτερικούς και εξωτερικούς χώρους για ένα καφέ, σνακ ή ποτό. Είναι ιδανικό για ήρεμες και ξεκούραστες διακοπές. Μια οικογένεια με μικρά παιδιά μπορεί να περάσει υπέροχα - και όχι μόνο αυτή φυσικά! Το συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα! Έκανε τις διακοπές μας ομορφότερες. Θα ξαναέρθουμε!

La strutura nel complesso è stata piacevole ma con alcuni servizi perlomeno spiacevoli. Le stanze di alloggio ampie ma con arredi non di un hotel a quattro stelle, dotazioni nei bagni non adeguati, quando c'era il cambio delle lenzuola del letto, bisognava fare da soli, perchè non veniva completato dagli incaricati. La chiave dea stanza era unica e se si usciva da soli, l altra persona non poteva uscire successivamente perchè non in possesso di una seconda chiave. Assurdo! Neanche un hotel di due stelle ha questi inconvenienti! Il wi fi offerto ha un segnale pessimo, si naviga su inernet a 2/3 Mega p.s.è impossibile connettersi.

This hotel is really a family hotel. Kids loved the hotel and the beach.

Rooms have a fantastic view of the bay and we where lucky to get our room on the top floor with a big balcony.

Helpful and pleasant personnel.
