The check-in experience was outstanding. The front desk staff was friendly and the process was quick and well organized. Overall, the hotel has great amenities, including a heated pool, a nice bar, convenient access to the on-site restaurant, and beach chair and umbrella rentals. The only disappointment was that the hotel was under construction during our stay, and this was not communicated in advance. Had we been notified, we could have decided whether the construction noise would affect our plans.

The room was very clean and quiet. Our room had a city view, and even after midnight on New Year's Eve, our room was quiet. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We slept well every night. The mattress was excellent...better than what we have at home. If you're looking for ecomony and quality, Dolphin Sands is the best choice on the beach. I would highly recommend Dolphin Sands.

Horrible noise on last morning of stay which was a Friday January 2nd. Between the lawn blower going full steam at apx 7am and then the boom lift truck moving for almost 99 minutes straight to exit the property with a very loud non-stop beeping I’m not sure which is worse. Forget about coming to the beach to relax and sleep in and enjoy the quiet morning on the water. It was horrible! Views were beautiful however and front desk staff was friendly and helpful for what they could do. Whoever manages maintenance for this property needs to get their head out of their butt and get a clue for guest experience overall !!!
