We were disappointed that the ice machine downstairs wasn't working. It looks like its from the 80"s. The toilet was wobbly when using it. Property is very clean and well kept. Meghan is awesome, very friendly and helpful. Overall, we had a great time visiting and will return ASAP.

Dolphin resort was surprisingly nice, the room spacious and clean, the staff friendly, helpful, location good, not crowded, I liked the place. There is a pool area that is safe and easy to reach within the resort space and a tiki bar with music and great service. All together we were pleased with the place and would consider it again.

No doubt, this property is as clean as it gets. However, its like a relict from the past. Doors do not seal the room, there are wide gaps all around, letting moisture, heat, and dirt through. Furniture is from Ikea, a $5 nightstand, one open shelf unit “Billy” with 4 small openings, thats probably meant to be for the content of your suitcase. Maybe ok for 2 nights. The sofa is stained. But the bed is ok. Everything in the bathroom looks brand new. The aircon unit is mounted underneath the window and its noise wakes you up when it turns on, and when it does, it blows right onto the bed. With Florida temps you have to let it run 24/7. No safe in the room for your values. After all, this is Motel standard of the ‘70ties. What troubles me the most is, USPS delivered a $120 replacement value package for me. I have the proof. The hotel lost it. No excuse, just “we don”t have it. I would not recommend this place.

We stayed at Dolphin Key for a week. Based on the low price we were questioning our selection, but we were blown away by this place. Very clean. Great pool area. And the tiki bar was amazing. We would definitely stay here again.
