Guests Say It Best

Special Place

We stumbled upon Dolphin Bay Resort over ten years and it's become an annual pilgrimage. Amazing rooms with full kitchens, a great pool, secluded beaches, and a top-notch restaurant. The staff is amazing and they always go out of their way to make your trip special. During these unsettling times, it's always nice to see the diligence the staff puts in to make the guests feel safe! See you next year Dolphin Bay!
