What guests say
8.6 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 456 guest reviews
Dolphin Inn earns consistently strong sentiment across recent guests, with clean rooms, comfortable beds, a friendly owner, and an unbeatable walk-to-the-beach location standing out as its biggest strengths. Repeat visits from multiple reviewers reinforce its reliability, though minor drawbacks — smoking on the premises, limited in-room amenities in standard rooms, and slightly dated décor — are worth noting for guests with specific expectations.
