Our stay at Dolphin Bay was delightful, with stunning oceanfront views and spacious, well-equipped suites that made our trip truly enjoyable. While the staff was attentive and accommodating, our dining experience at Lido Restaurant left something to be desired due to slow service and crowding. Overall, it was a great experience and a family-friendly environment, but there are minor areas for improvement.

My stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful! We enjoyed spacious accommodations that made our family feel right at home. The ocean view was breathtaking and made the experience even better. Although the restaurant service could be improved during peak times, the overall dining quality was good. The beach was passable for exploration, but not ideal for swimming. In terms of value, it was definitely worth it for the amenities and the pet-friendly policies.
