Has anyone here eaten at the Delfino Blu restaurant?
Some people staying at the Vicky in June went on their last night,
and were full of praise. We'd like to try it, and
I was wondering if they have a dress code?
-
There is no " dress code " anywhere really, but smart casual is great for anywhere here.
Just be yourself and comfortable - leave your diamonds at home.
No seriously shorts and tee shirt for breakfast and top / smarter shorts or dress for dinner. Not a lot of people get really dressed and the roads are no good for heels - trainers are best.
Anything to dressy is uncomfortable in this heat and i feel make up is out as is perfume , the mozzies love it.
HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY

Thanks,
I was thinking more about Duncan, as I suppose a maxi dress would be fine for me.
Duncan doesn't take long trousers with him, so would be wearing shorts.
We will give it a go, according to the ladies we spoke to, it was best meal they'd had all holiday.

As long as they are the knee length chino or cargo type shorts with a smart polo shirt I reckon he'd be fine
-
Delfino Blue has a website so you could also send them a quick email to double check.
-
I took your advice, Lesley, and sent an email on Thursday.
So far I've had no reply, so we'll just have to wing it, and hope we can get in!

Went to delfino for my birthday , 27th July and we all had the set menu, 5 courses for 22 euros and it was fabulous from start to finish. We wore maxi dresses and guys long trousers. What a hotel! It gets better and better. Staff are wonderful, nothing is too muh trouble and this goes for mango bar and the amazing bed man. The owner, most as is everywhere - a master clas in customer service.

Thanks for the info debra, sounds great!
We'll definitely give it a try.

We went for a walk up by the Delphino Blu and just walked through the archway to be greeted with a very off hand greek saying do you realise this is private property,well we didnt realise that you couldnt have a look round the place for all he knows we might have been thinking about booking for next year,well we wont be now.
-
Haha! That's exactly what happened to us when we went! Scarpered PDQ (ok, maybe not that fast with a wheelchair but we tried) and were never tempted back. Total contrast to every other place we have visited during five visits!
-
There were instances of this reported on here a couple of years ago
-
I think if you want to look around this hotel, go straight to reception and ask, otherwise they suspect you are an interloper after a free sunbed!!
however, I can't understand why the Delfino staff just don't start the conversation off with - - - "Can I help you?", before frightening off prospective clients.
I have now heard quite a lot of reports like this.
-
we went for a quick look last week, wasent realy met with a friendly welcome.so first impresions mean alot.eg, nothing for me.

it was around 9pm tony,no need for a sunbed at that time lol
-
They need Yvette back to teach more customer service
-
It doesn't take much to be polite and courteous.
-
I am really surprised, they were,without exception, polite and wonderful. And that was 2 weeks ago tonight. It was lovely and even the owner couldn't have been more helpful
-
If it's 9pm and it's the Delfino - maybe they would have had electric tanning sunbeds out - - one up on the rest of the pack!! LOL
-
mmmmm shame some hoteliers forget the past...when it was under Thomas cook the staff were dragging people in.....short memories ! ::)
-
has something else happened?
-
I don't remember them being under Thomas Cook. I thought they had always been independent.
-
me too Jules - I actually went to have a look around the hotel the year they opened in 2004 - it was called Casa Delfino and I felt sure it was just direct bookings, still have the small leaflet that the owner gave to me then.
-
They definatly used Thomas cook when it first opened.
-
They are definitely independent now - we ate there 3 or 4 times when we were there in 2008 and 2009 and they couldnt have been more lovely. However we went to book our first meal there during the day and once we established that we were there to book a table they were fine but I think because its so expensive to stay there (Euro 160 per night for a standard double.....!) and the pool area is so lovely and on the beach, they are wary of people trying to walk through the hotel and use their pool and sun terrace.
However, 9pm at night they should not have been worried about that and so should have been a lot more accommodating. I would love to be able to afford to stay there although I cannot believe that their high prices do not include breakfast - they want another 12 Euro's each for that!! :o
-
The luxury is nice - just not worth it to me - how long do I spend in a Hotel room - sleep and wash - not much more -
is their breakfast worth €12 - I doubt it somehow and is their food better than Beachcomber - Nafsika - Olympus - - - I doubt that as well.
No - I am just as happy in any of the accommodation in San Stefanos. We have stayed all over - never had anything major to complain about there.
-
Just going back a few posts when they first opened as Casa Delfino, they were mostly Thomas Cook and had a few rooms they rented independent, then they went totally indie a few seasons later. Have to say as I've seen all the rooms they are wonderful and if I could afford them then I would stay there. Great location, fab pool and sunbeds, terrace, furnishings etc etc. Step down onto beach, sunset cocktails over looking sea..........ah well nice dream........
-
Mango Bar is closing on Saturday 6th. Autumn cometh. The house martins have already departed.
-
If you want luxury at a third of the price stay at the Fedra Mare! I bet our two floor double balcony sea view apartment is bigger than those at the Delfino Blue. You really have to look round these apartments to appreciate how wonderful they are. As for the pool the FM pool is bigger than DB and has many fewer guests using it. Andy

There are only a handful of accommodations in San Stefanos that can compare to the Delfino Blu's high standards, those accommodations include;
The Fedra Mare, The Paralia Apartments, The Sugar & Almond Apartments, The Vassilys Apartments and The Margaritas Suites.
If you are looking for outstanding value for money, the Margaritas Suites offer luxury standards at excellent prices. They are located right on the beach front and have their own private garden, breathtaking sea views out towards the Diapontia Islands and offer superlative comfort. Here is the link where you can view pictures and videos of the individually decorated suites.
