Doryssa Seaside Resort

“Beautiful property, but service does not match the price We are staying at Doryssa Seaside Resort expecting a 5-star experience to match the rates, but the service fell far short. Room issues: The TV in our room didn’t work for the entire stay. We reported it five times and never received a fix or even an apology. One of the showers had no hot water — also reported, also ignored. Constant water and pipe noise from the bathroom, day and night. In the middle of the night you may wake up to screaming pipes, get used to it. There was no room service information anywhere in the room, so we had no idea what was even available. Staff: Reception is staffed mostly by young employees who seem indifferent at best, and outright rude at worst — attitude included at no extra charge. Poolside service was actually good and one of the few bright spots. The beach was the opposite: no staff assistance, towels are self-serve from a station that’s often empty, and when we asked, staff simply repeated “there are no towels” with zero effort to help. Bottom line: The grounds, buildings, and village setting are genuinely lovely — that part earns real praise. But you’ll spend your stay chasing people down for basic needs, and nobody seems to care. For what they charge per night, this is not a 5-star experience.”

“10 stars!!! My favourite holiday spot ever. I never return to the same hotel, I'll be going back here. The breakfasts are buffet style but freshly cooked options and a massive variety. The staff are all incredibly helpful and friendly, from the reception staff, porters, bar and waiting staff, honestly, they make you feel special. The village part of the hotel is incredible. Never seen a hotel like it with a full replica of a village square. It felt a bit magical to be honest. Loved it all”

“We had a lovely stay here for a week. The pool area and breakfast is great. Food and drink service around the pool is amazing, the staff are lovely and very quick. We had an issue with getting pool towels. The hotel was fully booked and they don’t seem to have enough towels for the amount of people, it took me three different times to go up to the towel shed for them to have any towels. If you go to get towels later than 11am there is none left! And you are only allowed to change your towels twice during your stay!”

“The best hotel in Samos! The architecture and the design is perfect, there is a small village within the premises. The staff members are kind and helpful! The food in every outlet delicious! I definitely recommend that experience”

“Great location for going into the lovely town of Pythagorio. It’s a 13 minute walk to the town or a 5 euro taxi ride which the hotel can organise for you. Lovely sea view rooms at the hotel and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Plenty of sun free sun loungers on the beach with drinks & food service to your loungers. Nice places to eat right on the beach.. the pizza restaurant is a must visit.. Breakfast is lovely and great location for sitting outside with views of the sea. Only slight down side is that you are on the flight path for take off from the airport.. c15 flights a day but the noise is over in seconds.. No night time flights so your sleep is not disturbed.”
