4/10 Fair

Great location, unclean property

Great location, nice private beach area, plenty of beach chairs, beach toys, and beach towels. The inside of the hotel however was lacking. It was not clean, there was a huge pile of hair in our room when we walked in, the walls were dirty, the carpets in the hallways were filthy. Again, the location is great but due to the lack of cleanliness we would not stay here again.

Jacquelyn, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The best part of this hotel is the short beach. It is a very easy beach to get to, I have some mobility issues and it is just perfect. A great beach for children. They have food and bar service, also on the beach and Candice went above and beyond with her great service. Tiffany at the front desk was also great.

Overall Good Stay

Winter the Dolphin's was a treat. Even though there was overcast the entire time, my son still enjoyed the pool. It was great having a balcony, although quite small. It was nice being able to access Hampton's rooftop restaurant/bar right next door. The view was amazing. We only stayed one night but it was very nice.
Carline, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely place to stay with wonderful staff in a sweet location.
Jennifer, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The balcony area was dirty the floor needed cleaning. Beds were so comfortable and clean. The check in was awful and so unfriendly! I don’t think you should be charged for rental of beds and umbrellas on the beach when your paying a premium rate to stay on a beach front.
Brian, 2-night trip

Great staff & family-friendly resort

The staff were amazing & incredibly friendly. The beachside staff was very attentive & made sure we had everything we needed. It was nice to be away from the crowds & have direct access to a private beach. It was a great family friendly experience for all ages & we would visit here again.

1 night stay

Perfect choice for a 1 night stay while waiting to fly home after a cruise. Staff kept our luggage in a locked room with cameras while we waited beach-side for our room to be ready. And our room was ready earlier than 4! Will return in the future.
Kimberly, 1-night trip

Our room over looked the Parking garage and gavebus a small water view. It was great with the exception of noise from guess returning to hotel. Also wish we had access to the sister Hotel next door piol as it stayed open till 10pm ours was dusk to dawn and no way near as nice.
