    Location. Right on the beach. Beautiful views. Room was hot with no window to open. The air conditioner was so loud even my husband could not sleep which never happens. If we could feel the cool ocean air or the room stayed cool we would stay again but unfortunately we won’t be back. Bed was comfortable and the room was clean and updated. It was just too hot.

    I really enjoyed the dolphin Cove motel because it was comfortable to the beach and we had a promised parking that we didn’t have to worry about parking and it was super close to all the shops. They were all walking distance. The room was clean, comfortable, and the step in shower was awesome. I didn’t find any issues with the actual hotel just the guests, there was people that were drunk, running up and down the stairs, and it sounded like a herd of kettle

    The location, the price The manager was creepy.. was very bossy and rude

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    I couldn’t have ask for a better location! Right on the entrance to the beach. The only thing missing was AC or the ability to open a window. I noticed the rooms on the second floor had windows that could be opened, that would have been nice.
