For the money, the Dolphin is worth it. You’re on the beachside of Gulf Dr. and you can walk to many places. There’s plenty of cabanas in front of the hotel on a nice stretch of beach.

The staff was exceptionally helpful. The nbeach was nice. The restaurant was odd. It closes at 9 on week days and no one is happy to see you at 8:45 either, but this is a beach resort where we didn’t really want to come in to eat till after sunset. One day breakfast toast came with just one slice, the next two…same price, and then they are closed between 11 and 12, which is fine but then…what if that is your only lunch time? The rooms were good but odd in that there was no towell rack…again its a beach. We had a million towels to hang after a few hours

Nice pool, rooms need updated
We stay here every year for the pool and location bc it is convenient to everything. However this year in addition to the resort fee when checking in they also placed and additional hold of $300 on my card. I questioned this because I have never had to pay it in the past. Just something to be mindful of bc no where on the website does it mention this. Also, I hate the wrist bands they make you wear, nobody wants that tan line. We Uber to the resort and use Freebee during our stay which is great but this year we had a rental for 1 day and the resort charged me $30 parking fee. I disputed when checking out and was told it would be removed but it’s still showing on my card. I’m considering staying somewhere else in the future, I visit a few times a year. Overall a good place to stay but not really fond of the recent changes that come along with new ownership. They charge a resort fee but in my eyes it’s not a resort. In the past there were snack/soda machines in the hall and now they charge $6-8 for a soda at the front desk. It’s not that big of a deal bc Publix is right across the street but if not prepared that late night drink/snack could really cost ya!

The only bad things i have to say are about condition of the hotel and they're starting remodeling soon. Good little spot with plenty of potential, can't wait what it looks like after the remodel. The pool needs to be bigger. I like that you can pick off you want patio or balcony.
