At Doryssa Seaside Resort, you will be experiencing an authentic stay made of island dreams. Our modern 5-star seaside resort in Samos is located next to the picturesque Pythagoreio. Set on a magnificent beach, Doryssa Seaside Resort is a place to both experience and explore. Our complex consists of two hospitality experiences, offering you the chance to choose what you feel you will enjoy more. Staying at our high-end main building is one option if you prefer to stay centrally, while those who seek an alternative, more authentic island setup can choose our sublime Village. Within both you will find a haven of understated modern luxury, while our Village residences reflect the Samos’ unique architectural charm, through a modern lens. Whichever you end up choosing, you will find a superb environment made of environmentally friendly materials, energy saving policies, minimal interiors and pure linen upholstery throughout for creating a soothing, elegant atmosphere that will characterize your stay.

We stayed here with friends and loved the location on the beach and how close it was to town. The resort is huge, lots of sun beds on the beach with umbrellas and under trees. The reception staff were so helpful but we found that the restaurant staff were not as nice, I think they are tired from the summer season so understandable. The rooms are clean and modern in the main hotel and the village suites are traditional. The pool area is lovely and again has a lot of sun beds.

Second visit and did not think we would get here this year due to Corona but took a chance with weather. Wall to wall sun. Hotel was so accommodating with all paperwork etc you now have to complete. Was lucky enough to get upgraded too. Have just spent a week chilling on the beach and lazy evenings eating in the harbour. Wonderful. Staff have gone over and above

Fantastic hotel. Everything perfect. Nice staff. Great buffet. Nice clean rooms😉 Nice pool if you like freezing cold water (nothing to do about it according to staff. Go to the beach instead we were told?). Short walk to beatiful pythagorion.

Just back for a terrific weak at the Doryssa seaside resort. We cannot fault the property. The staff were all amazing and went out of their way to make us feel welcome . We stayed on a Bed and Breakfast basis and also used the pool bar Restaurant . The breakfast selection was amazing and it was nice to be able to prepare a Nespresso coffee for yourself. The food from the pool bar was also extremely good . We loved the proximity to the town whilst being located on the beach . I am sure we will return. Thank you all at the resort for making our holiday so special and memorable.

The resort is in a good location, rooms are ok, clean and comfortable. The beach is magnificent. However the service is a disaster. The waiters are very slow, cocktails are horrible, the staff is incompetent. The bar and dining is twice expensive than the restaurants at the town but taste is over the avarege.

Overall, we had a great experience with Doryssa Seaside Resort, which is a very fitting place for 2 adults and a 2 year old. We stayed in the main building (with ocean view) and had chosen the partial board option for our stay. While the breakfast meal is fixed as the first of the day, we had the option to choose between lunch and dinner for the second meal, which provided some well needed flexibility. The hotel offers a number of different restaurants with different kitchens, which is great, since you want some variety. The kitchens have a relatively high standard, and the dinner buffet at the main restaurant has something different every night (huge plus). The kids pool area wasn't crowded at all, which was rather surprising since we arrived in the high season. We never experienced any difficulty getting one of the (excellent) loungers by the pool in the morning, which can otherwise be quite stressful. The hotel staff were very welcoming, helpful and service minded throughout the whole stay, and they deserve a lot of credit for that - especially since they had to work in such extreme temperatures (+40C). We were very impressed with how clean and well maintained the hotel was - especially in the "village", which is really authentic and works really well for the weekly "greek night" that includes outdoor buffet, dance, music etc. The hotel room in itself was spotless and everything worked well. The view is great, and although some people find it annoying with the airplanes taking off from the nearby airport 5-10 times a day (more frequently in the weekend) it didn't bother us. On the contrary, our 2 year old actually found it very fun to watch - and keep in mind that the planes are not taking off in the late evening or before 7 in the morning. In spite of the above we did, however, experience some things which can be improved. Three times a week, there is live music for 2-3 hours playing right below the main building. For some reason, the the hotel/musicians have chosen to place the speakers so that these are facing the main building and the hotel rooms (!!) and not the beach. This means that the music was very loud and easily penetrated the glass doors to our room, making it impossible for us to enjoy a quiet evening on the balcony. Also, it made it difficult for our 2 year old to fall asleep before 10.30PM (when the music stopped). I really don't understand the decision to have 2 guys play (almost the exact same) music for several hours, 3 times in a week, so close to all the hotel rooms facing the ocean. The fact that a very small number of people actually sat and listened to the music, made it even more difficult to understand. We also spoke to other guests who had the same experience. The hotel should consider moving the live music to the bar at the beach, so that guest are not forced to endure the loud music during the evenings. In addition, it would be great to see some more consistency in terms of how things are served at the pool bar (and restaurant). Portions vary a lot, and when you order cold drinks, they sometime come in small cups and sometime in large cups - for the same price. This is nothing major of course, but it puzzled us a bit. All in all, it cannot change that the hotel is a great choice - also if you are bringing the little ones. …

My wife and I stayed here with friends in June , for two weeks . We flew with TUI and flights and transfer to the hotel was smooth and efficient . Nice welcome drink on arrival and a prompt checkin was had . We stayed in rooms 211 and our friends were in 213. Both rooms offered a lovely view of the pool and coast. Rooms were clean and contemporary but a bit lacking in drawer space for clothes. One small wardrobe with a few shelves left out clothes a bit cramp. The two bedside tables would have been better as drawers for storage but hey Ho! USB charging available on bedside plugs was a good idea 👍 Nice spacious shower too. Room also had a Nesspresso coffee machine but the coffee pods were not replaced during our stay so we had to buy ourselves in the shop on site . That was a bit mean we though ☹️ We chose Bed and Breakfast and food choice and quality was always good. There were several restaurants in the hotel but we only used the poolside one for lunch. We initially used the pool in the first few days but as there were lots of young children in it we used the beach for the majority of our stay due to the noise. The team servicing beach towels and drinks were friendly and efficient also. The entire resort was spotlessly clean , even the beach ! Sun Beds were readily available but became a bit of a challenge in our second week , but I’ll cover that below. Thursdays were “Greek night” with music and food in the “square” this was by far the best hotel provided entertainment during our stay. Sadly the Music and entertainment provided during the rest of our stay was not very good often we found singers playing to an empty bar ☹️. Drinks and food was generally more expensive in the hotel compared to the variety that can be found in the harbour area , which is a 15 minute walk so I’d recommend venturing out as there’s lots of choice . It’s a lovely resort but really lacks any real atmosphere. The hotel miss a trick in that there’s no incentive to stay there in the evenings . No happy hour , boring entertainment and the drinks are over priced . That said , the staff are all lovely and very helpful and professional. Observations : in our second week we witnessed the usual problems of people hogging sun beds with their towels and then not showing up until midday . Particularly selfish behaviour which we saw the beach team manage quite well . Several people had come and “reserved “ beds and then disappeared. Then other people arrive to find no beds available . The beach team would remove towels on any beds that had this , which provided some great entertainment especially when a few people came back to discover their “reserved” beds gone and their towels missing 🤣🤣 and then tried to complain. Last observation is directed as TUI. As UK travellers we didn’t see our TUI rep until the day we left . We had to seek out a Dutch rep “ Pim” who helped us book some trips . It felt like there was no information available at the hotel on activities and trips , you had to work hard to find someone to speak with . There was very few UK guests at the hotel , with majority being Dutch and Scandinavian so perhaps TUI couldn’t be bothered 🤔…

Stayed here with my mum first week of June and we had the most lovely relaxing holiday. We stayed in a seaview room, over looking the pool which was a great location for us. We were above the main bar so could hear the live music on a couple of evenings and although this wasn’t a problem for us I appreciate that this wouldn’t suit everyone. Our room was a double (no twin available) and really nicely furnished, very modern and plush feeling. Bathroom was gorgeous (shower only) with beautiful local products. Only negative was that the bathroom is separated from the bedroom by a window, and although the glass is not totally clear, with the lights fully on in the bathroom it wasn’t hard to see the other person, therefore my mum and I showered etc with just the low level lights on all week…not ideal lol! This seems to be the latest trend in hotels and I’m not a fan personally. Feel like there should be the option to turn the glass dark (whatever that’s called) as standard. Pool was lovely with gorgeous fat beds and umbrellas around it. The whole area was spotless and well looked after. From our balcony we often watched the staff tidy and straighten each bed perfectly in the evenings. Towels are provided and can be changed every other day. The beach right in front of the pool is very shingly but has waiter service from the pool bar and beds are free. A little further along there is the Asterias restaurant/bar (still part of Doryssa) where the beach is softer but beds are €5 each. Live DJ playing chilled music all day and waiter service from Asterias. Whilst we were there on the Sunday (bank holiday) this became a beach club with lots of young attractive Greek people lol! We did stay for a few hours as it was great atmosphere but the music progressively got louder as the day went on so we admitted defeat and went to the pool. Not sure if this is a normal weekly event or was due to the bank holiday. Sea was cold but beautiful and clear! My mum had breakfast every day, I only made it once, but really good choice and always fresh. Only complaint was about the egg chef, he was really rude and eg were not great :( We ate lunch a couple of times in the pool restaurant which was delicious and had lunch once in Asterias, which again was delicious. We didn’t eat any evening meals in the hotel as we were only B&B. Food and drink was on the expensive side but reflective of the standard of the resort. We ate every night in Pythagorion which was €5 in a taxi one way. You can walk there too and the road was well lit with proper pavements but we couldn’t be bothered lol (I say this because I have stayed in many places in Greece where walking along roads is a bit of a risk). Pythagorion is port town and it is beautiful. Very Greek, rather than too touristy. We ate in several tavernas, both on the harbour front and in the streets behind, enjoying all of them. There are several bars too which were great for people watching! This was our first visit to Samos and I don’t think it’ll be our last, it’s a really beautiful island. We got a taxi to another beach, Glicorisa, on our last full day and we wish we’d found it earlier. Gorgeous clear water, comfy beds (€3 each) and great restaurant. To sum up, we had a fab holiday in a lovely hotel!…

Hotel Lovely grounds and great views right on beach Lots of buggy ramps everywhere Not sure if big enough for wheelchair Trying to b eco so lots of separation bins / cardboard cups etc Music in bar 3 times a week from 7-30 to 11 - u can hear it if u are in a sea facing room Bar at front of reception by entrance- 2 by pool and one on beach There’s 3 restaurants apparently- we only used the one lunch restaurant behind pool At breakfast u can sit inside or outside - we were told there was another room for breakfast past the shower block - but we didn’t try it Lots of comfy seating near bars Can hire cycles I’d say excellent place for young families or older adults Not much here for teens or young adults Staff are fab Location Next door to hotel is an ancient graveyard A few ancient tourist places nearby and a monastery up the hill opposite . Good pavements to walk on We were told there are no local buses- even though there is a bus stop opposite Pool 10 to 6 pm - water is v cold There is a lifeguard/ no ballgames 2 small pools - 1 jacuzzi- 1 large pool. Lots of beds and parasols- but they get filled by 11 am There are toilets at entrance to main restaurant or in a separate Block the other side of the restaurant- showers here too Low key music around pool Food Breakfast is from 7-30 till 10 am It gets busy from 8-30. The layout is silly - all the bread is in one place with one board and one knife . 4 coffee machines all together. They are really good machines but soo slow!! You won’t be able to complain about breakfast apart from that because it’s help your self There’s porridge/ 5 cereals/ 20 different breads- a toaster: dried fruit/ seeds/ fresh fruit/ yogurt/ smoothies/ salads 10 different cakes: eggs 3 ways / bacon/ sausage/ beans,Greek pastry dishes/ mackerel/ trout/ 10 different cheeses 5 different meats/ 5 different jams / honey/ orange or apple or water juice; milk or milk alternative, pancakes/ waffles/ crepes/ Nutella or cinnamon crumbs , green tea too. Can’t tell you about lunch or tea as we went b and b There’s a coffee shop in the village apparently The beach cafe is nice and not wildly expensive- we stayed and had a club sandwich and Greek salad one afternoon. You can order food around pool or beach from waiters Weather In May you need a jumper in the evening It might be cloudy or rain for a day or 2 About 20 to 24 degrees during day Beach - it’s mainly a stony beach . Also the water in May was freezing cold . Nb when we were here there wasn’t a charge for the sun beds or parasols. The beach boys work hard and will put up your parasols and get food and drinks for you. You can pay in cash/ card or by room number. The front row of the beach sometimes gets a wave or 2 which leaves you in a pond 🤭The weather seems to come from behind the hotel towards the sea mostly so if you see black clouds there u probably need to start leaving in the next hour There are about 300 beds here with soft mattresses. Nb the pool towels are next to the beach bar - they can be changed every 2 days and can b used for beach or pool Airplanes They are advertised as one a day - we found it to b about 10 to 15 a day - they fly right over the hotel quite low - the airstrip is just 1km away Transfer Get private transfers as the hotel is just 5 mins from the airport- when we landed we had to wait for people - there were 5 drops/ and we waited in the terminal car park for 30 mins as people had lost their luggage and the tui rep wouldn’t let us leave Room The superior room beach facing (we had 213) is a little small but has everything you need. There is a hairdryer and fridge/ small freezer section will do Ice cubes / there is a small tray Mossie units in each room Our room didn’t have bedside units - just a table Big wardrobe with about 12 hangers / 5 open shelves and a free safe Carpets .blackout curtains and nets Tv and remote Balcony with table and 2 chairs it’s tiled out there Large d/g French door Aircon and full length mirror Bathroom Great shower with a separate hand shower. It leaks over the marble floor thought so he careful- extra towels on floor maybe The sink - u can’t fill- it’s got like a big marble slab in it There’s lots of toiletries and tissues / soap etc Coffeemaker in room with Case of 4 pods on arrival but they don’t get refilled . Coffee is expensive here =7 euros for a small jar of Nescafé Garden facing rooms Daughter had 248 Bed is very low Small bathroom which includes toilet- showering more difficult/ integrated hairdryer-( like swimming pool in uk) shutters on outside of doors and nets inside. Air con unit by bed but no plug by bed Shops etc Small shop on site for milk water treats or suncream Pythahorium Is the nearest town- about 15 min walk or 5 euro in a taxi which u can call from reception ( Nb they will try and sell u their hotel van at 20 euro) Lovely harbour and loads of restaurants and bars and other shops It’s really pretty/ go see the blue road / Pythagoras museum and statue - look on google maps 👍…
