The stairs outside were extremely slippery and i fell. I have scraps and bruises. When i reported it i was asked if i wanted an ibuprofen or an ice pack. I was not satisfied with the handling of the situation.

Stunning property. A real gem of a hotel. Lots of outside areas to sit and relax with beautiful views. Breakfast is served in the rooms which was a wonderful surprise but if you don’t want to eat in your room you can take your breakfast to the gardens. A very relaxed atmosphere.

The staff is so friendly and personable for anything we could possibly need. Room 108 was perfect!! The room and the ambiance was exactly what you want in a sleepy beach town getaway. Breakfast was a delight and the chef was a stand-up comic, story-teller, and fantastic cook. Even the dolphins cooperated--outside our window and visible thru the provided binoculars.

The Black Dolphin Inn is one of the best places I have ever stayed! From the moment I walked through the door I felt welcome, just like I was coming home. Jennifer was very kind and quickly checked me in. My room was quiet and very comfortable. While I was staying there was a problem with the circuit break for my room. Jennifer tried to fix it but needed an electrician. She moved me to another suite that was spacious, clean, quiet and very comfortable. Breakfast is delicious! The next time I visit the area I will be staying at The Black Dolphin Inn.
