8/10 Very good

Very convenient location to explore island and enjoy beach. No elevator and parking lot sometimes overflowing with restaurant guests so those with accessibility needs should think twice about this hotel. Beds are super comfortable and hotel is very quaint and historic. However room amenities are lacking - no TV, no coffee maker, no mini fridge. Restaurant food was excellent however service was inconsistent.

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel was amazing, the rooms were so beautiful. The only critique is the bathrooms in the room. There is only a pedestal sink so nowhere to put anything and the shower had a curtain around the whole tub and it would stick to you when showering and there was nowhere in the tub to put anything not an ideal shower situation would be nice if the bathrooms were a little more updated. But other than that the whole experience at the hotel was amazing!

Our stay at the Dalvay was fantastic. The hotel is beautiful and the staff was so friendly and accomodating. The restaurant was equally as good and I highly recommend trying the chicken dinner and chowder. The hotel grounds were so peaceful. I highly recommend this hotel.

We loved this Inn! Impeccable staff, grand interior, lovely food/dining. We enjoyed having coffee in the library in the morning and reading before breakfast. A wonderful stay! My only minor note is that in the upstairs wing where we stayed, the walls are pretty thin so you can hear others.

Verified review

8/10 Very good

Dalvay has all the old world charm imaginable, great staff - Alexandra, Emily and Sarah were standouts. But that charm could benefit from some serious improvements, especially as relates to food service - an unchanging, very limited and robust (not friendly to lighter appetites); the same applies to breakfast - limited and emormous servings. No fruit bowl, upcharges if you just want a bagel, juice only if you ask for it. Since Dalvay is in a national park, you must drive miles to find other, more varied food options - and nothing nearby for breakfast. So you end up being hostage to their restaurant. They might consider offering a light bite dinner and/especially breakfast. Also, why not offer boxed lunches to their visitors?

Our stay at Dalvay by the Sea Hotel was magical! The property was incredible, the staff was lovely, and the room was clean and comfortable. We ate at the restaurant twice (dinner and breakfast) and both were WELL worth it. We would return in a heartbeat!
