I really appreciated my stay at the blue dolphin. The front staff were warm and welcoming, and give us great tips on places to eat. The hotel itself was very clean and well kept and managed. The location is hard to beat since it’s right next to the ocean! It is an affordable price and I hope you get to experience a wonderful stay here too.

Our room (114) had a large patio where you could sit and look at the ocean. Room was a nice size, clean, very comfortable. Bathroom had everything we needed, including a Jacuzzi style tub. Very short walk to The Moonstone Bar & Grill (excellent food & drinks). Hotel provided a small hot breakfast, delivered to our room in the morning. The staff was super nice & helpful. My wife & I have stayed here before & will definitely be back as soon as we can.

The Blue dolphin was a very nice clean property that was quiet and it looked like it had been upgraded nicely. It was right across from the beach. We really enjoyed our stay there!
