  : Excellent resort with beach, swimming pools, playground, and buffet restaurants
  : Lack of choices on main meal courses, food was plentiful and good but more or less same dishes everyday. Generous drinks but quality of sodas and other drinks was OK

  : Covid free regulamentation was perfect .very well observed.Slides, very funny and entertaining.
  : I did not enjoy the wake up calls by knocking at the doors at 6.30, made by the housekeeping. I thought i was in a military environment.Food, i do not expect anything from an all all'inclusive, but at least has to be hot. Everything was coming out of the kitchen already cold

  : Great location, close to bus stop, beach front property. Thats where it ends.
  : Ah where to even start. This is NOT a 4 star hotel. By any means. When we checked in we were given a room that was by the pool, ground floor. The room smelled strongly of mold - black mold was found in the bathroom. We had to go and get the car back and go for our covid tests, so when we came back we requested a change and the man in reception responded with Well why did you not come sooner? is that the way to speak to customers? I do not think so. I do not need to explain myself. We were given a room on 1st floor. The room looked tired but we were more tired so we took it, moved our stuff and went in. Unpon close inspection it was a mess. Hair in the bed, bugs in the room, there was rubbish under the mattress. Bathroom SEVERELY dated with disgusting curtain, hair dryer is probably original from 1981 when hotel was built. Because of the attitude of the man downstairs I did not feel good going to change the room again.Next thing that was wrong was the fact that room only has 2 sockets so if you need to charge your laptop, phone, apple watch and your partner also has a phone you need to decide what is more important - I find that shocking especially for people on holidays who have cameras etc to charge. This needs updating.We went to sleep and had an excursion to Waterpark next day 9:00-18:00 so did not have time to change room again in the morning.Breakfast and food was quite disappointing, all food was oily, bland. There was a good selection of basics so I managed. Dinner was more of the same foods and was alright but hotels we went to before had way better selection and food quality.We were offered another room - same floor so same exact facilities so declined and got new towels to get clean ones without stains.The pinnacle of all was the fact that at 18:30 I went to shower and wash my hair, when mid through my shower the light in the bathroom burst and stopped working.

  : Close to the airport, very very friendly staff (across the Hotel). Appartment was cleaned daily. WiFi was perfect (even Netflix streaming was possible). Beachbar food was delicius. Beach was clean, with nice sunbeds. Food in the restaraunt sometimes lacked a bit of variaty, but it was ok having in mind that they serve 3 meals every day, there is enough to choose from especially for the kids. Main building rooms had seaview which was not mentioned during booking and was a nice surprise. Water in the pool and pool slides were very nice. However pool slides are only for older kids. During Covid 19 the hygiene was well maintained (mandatory gloves in restauraunt, masks inside etc). Overall very pleasant stay.
  : Just a bit windy in September for small kids. In peak season there is a shortage of sunbeds at the beach and the pool. We felt it only for a day.

  : Clean room in a nice hotel complex. Pool where you could sit on a recliner the whole day. On the beach. Everything provided in the price. Some leisure facilities. Easily accessible by public bus and close to a settlement with everything you might need like supermarket, pharmacy, taverns and cafees. Plus points for the really nice soda and juice dispensers of local but reknown greek soft drinks.
  : There is an operating antiquated oil burning powerplant really close to the hotel area. There is also a reek close to the hotel and beach full of green stuff like seaweed. Seems the area is not clean. It is a blue flag beach but I would doubt it deserves this decoration. The area including the village smells of sewer, properties have most likely connected their sewage to the rainfall draining system. All inclusive food provided is basic stuff widely eaten north of the Alps but not suited to a southern European palette or a person looking for quality food. Really bad quality alcohol served freely, not regular cheap bottles of widely known brands but cheap industrial stuff by the gallon poured into the drinks. Breakfast had all the basic stuff which is ok but the majority of the choices available were mostly cheap carbohydrates like all sorts of breads and all sorts of cheap cookies.

  : Hotel Dessole Dolphin Bay is a nice all-inclusive resort on the beach. Our stay was okay. We enjoyed food, especially the variety of vegetables, salads, and, in particular, the splendid Greek cheese. Staff was very nice and efficient. Cleaning service was perfect - clean towels and bedsheets every day. Sea was very clean and the beach was sandy, with some stones at the entry to the water.
  : Compared to EU 4* standard, the rooms are quite simple and the furniture seems outdated, especially bathroom did not meet our 4* expectations. We missed good coffee and good orange juice - the post-mix juices were rather sugar-water without any fruit. Also local wines were not very tasty. Beach was quite packed so most sunbeds were taken before breakfast. Evening animation team programmes were terrible, avoid it. The resort does not have nice surroundings - there is a power station on one side (sometimes you can smell oil if the wind goes towards the hotel), and ruins of some tavern on the other side so not a good place for beach walking.
