Old school charming but new school quality. Great pool bar and bartenders with great drinks and food. Daily food and drink credit is a nice touch. Front end staff amazing and just genuinely nice people. Say hello to all the bartenders when you get there. Beach cabanas are prt of the package which i used daily.

I stayed at one of the patio with beach view rooms and that was pretty cool. The pool and bar area were also nice. The building itself, hallways and rooms are outdated but they will be renovating in a few weeks and I am excited to stay again when the renovations are done.

it’s an older hotel that they have put some love into… could use a bit more esp for the price… can’t beat the location though. next to a publix too and a bunch of stuff all walking distance… we had our room upgraded for no additional charge which was so great . more beautiful sunset views. pool/ beachside service was very nice.. we enjoy it very much

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.
