Reviews and Ratings
I recently spent a lovely weekend with my family at this hotel and found it to be an exceptional experience. The attention to detail in cleanliness was noteworthy, and the meals provided were absolutely delicious. The tranquil location allowed us to enjoy nature, and the personalized service we received was extraordinary. Although the unique glamping concept might not satisfy everyone seeking traditional luxury, we loved the unique atmosphere and quality of service. Overall, we can't wait to return for another relaxing getaway.
We had an amazing time at Dolphin Beach! The tented accommodations were spacious and beautifully designed, with a lovely backyard and direct ocean access just steps away. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience, especially Mr. Susantha, who guided us on a spectacular whale watching trip. The food was delicious, though we would have liked more variety in the breakfast options. Overall, it was a fantastic getaway with a relaxed atmosphere right on the beach.
I had a wonderful stay at Dolphin Beach, where tranquility meets stunning views. The staff, especially Pat and Maduka, were incredibly welcoming, making us feel at home. The activities were entertaining, particularly the dolphin watching and yoga sessions. However, there were some issues with cleanliness in the bathroom that detracted from the experience. Overall, the beautiful surroundings and attentive service made for an unforgettable vacation.
Staying at the Dolphin Beach Resort was truly magical! The location is stunning right by the beach, and the accommodations are spacious and comfortable. We had a few minor noise interruptions from nearby wind turbines, but it didn’t take away from our overall experience. The food was exceptional, especially the seafood, but we wish there were more dining options during low season.
Dolphin Beach Resort is truly a slice of paradise! The staff greeted me warmly, making me feel special from the moment I arrived. The rooms, resembling cozy tents, were very comfortable although a tad dim. The location is absolutely stunning, right by a beautiful beach and filled with opportunities for dolphin watching. The dining experience was delightful, with a variety of delicious meals provided throughout my stay. Overall, this resort offers great value for money and is perfect for those seeking relaxation amidst nature.
