Great Location

Stayed at the Winter Dolphin for a long weekend. Thoroughly enjoyed it love that it was small and quaint and walking distance to many different restaurants and the beach location can’t be beat just steps away from the hotel.

Helene, 3-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

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.

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.

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.
Tina, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved the location. Walkable to restaurants, shops, and the main beach. The hotels private beach was lovely and inviting.
Laura, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Exellent hotel and value

We stayed her for 2 nights and had an excellent visit. Tiffany at the front desk is amazing. You can tell that she enjoys her job as she was very personable each time I had to interact with her. She knows the area as well. The room was perfect as it looked out on the pool area and the channel leading to the gulf. This hotel has a smaller but nice beach area and a decent size pool. The only thing I thought was strange was the restaurant and lounge area which are aprt of the hotel are not run by the hotel. As such you can't charge meals or drinks to your room like most hotels. Not a huge deal, just thought it was odd. Would stay here again for sure.

Acceptable .

The hotel is nice and well maintained. The private beach and pool are nice. The rooms are nice and look remodeled however,it lacks comfort, there was not even one chair in the room , meaning you either sit on the bed or the floor. Overall the hotel is a nice but just average.
