We would stay again.

Polite and friendly staff. Room was as decribed. Only thing worth noting is the "partial ocean view" room was facing a multi story car park which was noisy at times but nothing we didn't cope with. We could see the ocean and did see dolphins from it! Attached restaurant was fabulous, ate there multiple times.

The hotel was very clean and everyone was very friendly. The only problem we had was we didn't know we need to keep a room key when checking out to get out of the garage, something the front desk should tell you when checking out. Would stay again, perfect location

This is a very nice property and family friendly. Spacious and clean rooms. Very nice staff. Nice beachfront. I also like that it keeps the story and theme of Winter the Dolphin, which makes it seem less of a big, cold hotel chain.

This resort was right on the ocean. It had a great pool. The rooms were spacious. All the employees were great, especially Jace and Ty!’ I love that the winter the dolphin resort also is established due to winter the dolphin and saving the dolphin! Wonderful restaurant, awesome staff, and close to everything!

The property wasn't clean, especially the 3rd floor. I don't recommend room 312. It has black mold in the shower and ceiling. It is also right across the hall from the elevator and a house keeping closet. It was noisy early every morning. Our balcony door would not close properly. I do not recommend this property.

Had such a great 4 days at Winter the Dolphin! Was drawn in by the affordability of the property, and once we arrived I felt so great about the choice I had made. Nice hotel bar and restaurant which also serves hotel guests on the beach or by the pool! Private section of beach for hotel guests only. Great views. Nice little balcony on the partial ocean-view room I chose. There are so many restaurants, bars, liquor stores, markets, and shops to walk to from the hotel

This is a great economy hotel with suites that are great for families. We stayed in a 2 queen bed suite with an attached 2 twin bed room. The room is bare bones, no end tables between the twin beds and limited Lighting. The bathroom is very small. All in all though it was clean and had a balcony off both rooms. The pool is nice and clean. The people were helpful. The outdoor bar is closed due to renovations or repairs which was kind of a bummer. Parking is very easy and the location is walkable to everything you could need.
