Caldera's Dolphin Suites

Do not pass up this hotel!!! If you're looking for a quiet, private, relaxing, hospitable, comfortable hotel with STUNNING Santorini sunset views, you need to stay here. The service and hospitality was fantastic, and the hotel helped us so much with airport transfers and booking car transfers throughout the island. The staff also helped us with recommendations as far as where to go on the island (we almost skipped the village of Pyrgos but are so happy we went! One of our favorite places we saw!), and upon arrival we were greeted with dessert wine (we arrived after hours around 11pm) at reception and a bottle of wine and fruit basket in our room. They also packed us up breakfast to go when we had to check out at 7am to make our flight home. The hotel is an easy 10-minute walk to the closest village of Megalochori with great restaurants, shops, and scenery. The breakfast delivered to your room in the morning, served on the balcony with its stunning view, is so luxurious, convenient, and delicious! Speaking of food... no need to look elsewhere, the restaurant's food and service was AMAZING. Great, diverse menu for us vegetarians/pescatarians. Nothing can ever compare to the quiet and privacy of our room with the patio and private hot tub overlooking the Caldera right on the water, with unobstructed sunset views. We went to Oia one night for sunset and were extremely disappointed and found it to be overhyped - the view from our terrace was infinitely more beautiful. We were supposed to stay in Fira two years ago for our honeymoon (postponed due to COVID) but are so, so happy we didn't and that we found Caldera's Dolpin Suites and stayed more off the beaten path. It felt so authentic and it was the relaxing honeymoon we needed! We did have a few minor issues with the room. The water in our private hot tub wasn't staying hot one night and the jets didn't fully work. The junior honeymoon suite was much smaller than we were expecting and we hardly had room for one large suitcase and two carry-ons. Still, this hotel deserves five stars because the privacy and the view made up for the room, and everything else was just fantastic and PERFECT. This was our first time in Greece and I highly, HIGHLY recommend staying here for a romantic Santorini trip.

SERVICE, SERVICE, Impeccable service. It’s our 1st to Santori/Greece, but are very experienced travelers worldwide. Kiriakos and Anna have gone above and beyond to ensure that our every need is met. They know all guests and speak personally everyday with everyone about their plans for the day. They are thorough with assisting with every detail. From Breakfast, to day trips, personal needs, dinner plans and reservations, they are on it. They know everything and everyone on the island to get you going. They have a shuttle service to a beautiful high end beach club where cabanas await hotel guests, the service on the beach, impeccable also. Next level. Hotel guests here are on there 3rd stay. I can see why. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Santorini again. Can’t wait to return.
