Dolphin Beach Resort

Lobby and pool area were very nice. Room was really worn. Furnishings were well past their prime. Needs updating. Overall, it was overpriced. Would not go back, especially for the price.

We came back again the following month!

Not impressed with the hotel or the hotel staff. Had multiple run ins with the hotel staff that was not of hospitality service. The bar and grill also had staff that seemed to be bothered with customers coming in for breakfast. Would not recommend this hotel or restaurant/bar to anyone. It could also use a thorough cleaning and up dates. Everyday there were finger prints and hand prints on any glass around the hotel building. Yuck!! Even my room sliding door. Never got cleaned! The view and the location is the only thing that kept me there for the rest of my stay at St. Pete Beach.

Stayed with my family for a couple days to enjoy St. Petersburg beach! Got a room facing the water on the 3rd floor. Was very nice! I am not too picky or demanding so room was fine. Not a 4-star, but nice enough and clean enough to enjoy. Besides, who goes to the beach and stays in the hotel room anyway! I'd stay there again, but be advised they charge for parking now. And it would have been nice to have the final full receipt slipped under the door my last morning. I had to ask for a copy.

Overall a good location. Most buildings in this area are dated. Our room was very spacious and clean. Front desk lady was a bit salty. Gentleman behind the desk on a different day was very pleasant. Close to the beach, great tiki bar and staff. It's not the Ritz Carlton, but not as poor in my opinion as some of the other reviews I read. I would stay again if returning to the area for a beach trip. **Read small print** on Hotels.com cancellation policy - only Free cancellation if 72 hours prior.
