3rd Time we have stayed here, each time the room was nice but the bathroom has always been a bit unclean. The location is great for EPCOT, lack of an easy place to grab a quick bite for breakfast or lunch is always annoying

Weekend getaway
Great two days in the sun. The food was a bit pricey and the room was small. Other then that, the trip was worth it.

Weekend Escape
Rooms were very clean but in need of updating, smallest hotel bathroom I have ever seen. The location of the resort was perfect for Epcot, you could walk there or use the water taxi which was great. One word of caution, if you use a check debit card, they will place a $100 hold on the account at check in and was informed that the hold could stay on your card for up to 30 days.

Great Time!!
Had an amazing time at this hotel. Only had 1 problem. We had ordered a gift basket for our daughter from "Mickey Mouse" that was to be left in our room before we arrived. It was not in the room upon arrival and I had to go hunt it down. It did ruin a little of the magic for her.

Great Location
The Dolphin was the perfect location, easy walking to two parks. The pool area was very nice and active. Many food choices from high end to a hot dog. My really only complaint would be twin beds, get real! They might be fine for convetion goers but not for couples.

family trip
The hotel was ok. The fridge was not cold at all. We told them about it, but they didn't do anything. They kept saying it was fine. We never got the internet to work. Had to call and stay on the phone for 20 min. Then it worked for a while. Not very kid friendly. They should sell kid drinks - not soda.

quick trip
Hotel was very nice. Good proximety to the boardwalk, great pool. One thing we did not know was that this hotel is not run by disney. On top of the resort fee you are charged $15 per day parking which none of the other hotels on disney property have.

Planned a last-minute getaway with my daughter and stayed at the Dolphin Resort. Room was very clean and free transportation to the Disney Parks was a plus.
