Dolphin Bay Resort is an incredible place with spacious suites that are perfect for families, offering fantastic ocean views and a variety of amenities. The service was exceptional, making me feel personally cared for, though the beach access was a bit further than I anticipated. While the dining options were lovely, I would have appreciated a few more variety during breakfast. Overall, it's a great value for a luxurious stay by the coast.
