This hotel is right on Moonstone Beach, with the ocean and walking path right outside its door. The rooms are spacious, well-decorated, and very clean. It’s a bonus to have breakfast provided to your room each day. We sprang for an ocean view room and it was well worth it! We will hopefully be back again some day.

Extraordinary views, impeccable service!
The Blue Dolphin Hotel offers an incredible experience! From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed by the elegant ambiance and exceptional staff. The rooms were spotless, spacious, and beautifully decorated, each with a view that made our stay feel like a true getaway. But the highlight of our experience was Irma, the concierge. Irma went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our trip was perfect. She was incredibly knowledgeable, suggesting local gems and must-visit spots that truly made our stay unique. Her kindness and attention to detail made us feel genuinely cared for, and her recommendations never disappointed. Irma took the time to check in with us each day, providing personalized insights and even coordinating some last-minute arrangements with ease. If you’re looking for a hotel with both top-notch amenities and a personal touch, the Blue Dolphin and Irma make for an unforgettable experience. We can't wait to come back!

Very comfortable. One item to addressed (room 206). There are ten cylinders outside the window that turn on and off, throughout the night that are very industrial sounding.

Location was the best part
The Inn is in a great location. Front desk could be a lot friendlier and more accommodating. The included breakfast bowl/burrito had no taste (bland). The bathroom was tiny and there was no water pressure in the shower. No air conditioner. Good restaurant and beach steps away. The location was the best asset.

Nice room. Spacious and clean. Breakfast was good. They bring it to you. We walked the boardwalk and into town for lunch. We didn’t use the sun chairs the property provides to sit and look at the ocean because it was too cold. But very nice touch.

Staff were courteous, friendly and overall pleasant!! Overall, I really liked the room!! It was clean, with a decent comfortable bed. The only thing I disliked was the shower head. It needs to be replaced, preferably by a shower head that has options to change the water pressure. It was frustrating to feel like the shampoo in my hair was never going to rinse off, despite plenty of water coming out.
