Natural paradise!

Beautiful, natural resort right on the sea. Snorkelling in the house reef was great - very accessible and easy for my daughter. Food is delicious and varied. The pool is fun also. We loved our stay at this lovely resort.

Dolphin House is in prime oceanfront location just a stone's throw from White Beach. While my room was basic, the property grounds are beautiful with a picturesque restaurant and bar overlooking the sea. The staff though is what sets Dolphin House apart - so warm, friendly and accommodating! I arrived late after their restaurant and front desk had closed but the kitchen made two huge and delicious sandwiches that they left with the night guard to give to me - sooo nice! Similarly, the next night I got back to the hotel late after a full day of diving and sightseeing and despite the kitchen being closed a half an hour already, the chef made dinner for me. I just wish I could have stayed longer!

STAY AWAY

The service here was abysmal. The owner is a grumpy old man that wanders around the facility nitpicking at guests. The staff (rightfully) apologised for his behaviour but after a dreadful afternoon we took our custom to Club Serena down the road

Overpriced and stuck in their glory in the past. Front desk closing at 6PM is not willing to help you in any exceptional situations. Complaining from the guest about their poor services will be returned with insults by the owner. There are a lot better options in the entire area, that would deserve your hard-earned money better.

Dated and too expensive

The hotel is quite dated and the room we got was quite dirty. You're not really getting what you're paying for here. We highlighted the key issues to the reception and ask that we'd cancel our stay and refund us at least a portion of the stay, but they refused. The key issues are really: - Beds are rock hard, literally like laying on hard floors. - The back wall of our room was dirty with a massive brown/dark stain across the wall. - The bathroom was dated and not well cleaned. The restaurant staff are very nice and service minded, but the menu is limited and food average at best, you'll get a much better meal for half the price in town. The pool area is decent, and it looks like a great place to go scuba diving.

Not worth it.

The hotel was lovely, but the staff were not as friendly as we experienced in the rest of Philippines. The food was not worth the money and there was cling film in-between the pizza dough and toppings. We heard the owner being unaccomodating to a French guest asking for help. The hotel looks astectically pleasing, but the service was not worth the money we paid. Wont be recommending this to friends and family.

The hotel is very well kept. It s a beautiful and peaceful place. The rooms are decorated with beautiful art pieces and are also very clean. I love the proximity to the beach. I found a little private spot to swim and enjoy the pristine waters. The food and service at the restaurant were wonderful, the waiters were very attentive, especially Jose, who was very kind and diligent. I love the gardens and the swimming pool. The hotel offers diving lessons, diving expeditions and rents the equipment. The staff at the hotel was very professional and friendly. The only thing I think needs to be improved is the wi-fi service. The wi-fi kept disconnecting and it was almost non-existent in the rooms. I had to go to the bar to get some wi-fi to take care of important personal and job-related issues. It was stressful at times, especially with the cancellations and changing flights due to the coronavirus. These days, travelers rely on wi-fi service in a hotel. Especially if it is promoted as a service the hotel provides. I stayed in the hotel for 10 days, the wi-fi service was very important for me. Other than that, the hotel is a wonderful place to relax, explore, and enjoy your vacations.

Hotel in an amazing place

The Hotel is located in an amazing place near the sea. There you can do snorkel an see a lot of fishes and even turtles. Also the Hotel is 15m away by tuc tuc from a beach with restaurants and bars. Our room was very small but ok. No tv. The breakfast was ok not amazing as was not the food in the bar. But overall the Hotel is a good deal very relaxing and in a pretty place.
