“Dolphin Bay Resort & Spa is the best place for the family.”

Aug 04, 2025Carson S

This was possibly the best hotel ever for their good weather, great food, and super nice rooms. If i recommend any room its 225. Such a big room and enough to fit the whole family! (6). Dolphin Bay Resort & Spa, you did the best job on the whole place and i enjoyed my perfect stay. I recommend going to the beach with the family for the nice sand, and the water which feels great! Also try to rent some E-Bikes if you can, and go on “The Bob Jones Trail”. Its a beautiful sight to see and hike aswell. Make sure to try their DELICIOUS food and talk to some of the nicest bar tenders. I hope you enjoy your stay if you go, and we wish of you the best.

“Five stars all the way!”

The accommodations and service at this hotel are as nice as any five star hotel we've ever stayed at and we have stayed at quite a few, around the U.S. and abroad. The suite we stayed in was beautiful with a great ocean view. Everyone who works here is incredibly friendly and helpful, always with a smile. The location is perfect, away from the busy downtown area, but close enough to get there. The food and service at the Lido restaurant was top notch. We could not have asked for a better experience at this hotel. We plan on coming here again next year. Thank you to all the staff for making our stay so enjoyable.

“Anniversary stay at the Dolphin Bay resort”

Nov 19, 2024Highway395

Just got back from a tremendous vacation at the Dolphin Bay Resort. Upon arrival, the mood was set perfectly by our front desk reception from Arieli who, upon hearing of our 13th anniversary, made sure we had the best possible room with a view, provided a wonderful bottle of white wine and hand delivered a fresh fruit plate which took us no time to finish off. The Maître d’ at the restaurant happily accommodated our request to switch from dining room to our suite even after we had been seated. Both of the Bell desk gentlemen we interacted with treated us like family and made sure everything was to our liking. The grounds are phenomenal. Perched on a tall bluff, the views of the ocean are expansive and yet not seeming out of reach. I cannot say enough about the location or the staff. I wish I had booked at least three more nights. We will be back, and you should make a point of checking this place out yourself.
