The hotel is very centrally located. It does have its own restaurants, but there’s many nearby within walking distance. The beach bar is nice and less expensive than most beach bars. It was a good experience.

Cozy little hotel among expensive high rises. Clean, updated, large TV, mini fridge and microwave. Private beach & pool with lots of chairs. Room service from the 3 restaurants on site & next door. Only 5 minute walk to Parlor Donuts & coffee or The Taco Bus!! Wonderful sunsets away from the hustle & traffic of the city beach.

The Dolphin is an older hotel with a private beach area. The hotel is not fancy but is clean, well maintained, has a good restaurant, 8ft pool with pool/beach side service. I have stayed here twice and will probably come again.

The rooms are comfortable, but the bathroom was very dirty and the bathtub disgusting; on the day we arrived—without even having used it—there was hair in it. The staff were very nice.
