Tiki Bar food and drinks were good. However, STAFF and WAIT times were Terrible! Constantly had to wait nearly 15-30 minutes to ORDER any food or beverages, even when barely 10 guests in Tiki bar! Wait times nearly double for food & drinks to arrive! Staff very rude when ordering, or asking for update on order. Dolphin Key does NOT allow outside food or drinks at pool, so they NEED to drastically improve their Tiki Bar service! We had 12 people in our group, we all experienced same POOR service during our 4 day stay! 2 hour wait for Breakfast order on slow day! Tiki Bar smells like an Ashtray because they allow smoking & vaping in enclosed space! My credit card was charged TWICE for same order on same day, NO accountability from staff to correct it! Had contacted them THREE times to correct charges! My Credit Card company agreed to reverse duplicate charges!

We chose to stay here based on the most recent reviews and the good ones were all accurate! The outside looks dated when you first pull up but the inside is a different story. The room was perfect for what we needed it for, to sleep and shower. But it was very spacious and clean. The pool area was nice and it was directly next to the Tiki Hut bar and restaurant so you could hear the music from there and even enjoy a few drinks by the pool. The staff was wonderful and check in and check out was easy, even if you had to check in outside of their office hours. The only downside is there is no elevator to the second floor so if you can’t do stairs, let them know so that you can get a room on the first floor. We would absolutely stay here again!!!

We were disappointed that the ice machine downstairs wasn't working. It looks like its from the 80"s. The toilet was wobbly when using it. Property is very clean and well kept. Meghan is awesome, very friendly and helpful. Overall, we had a great time visiting and will return ASAP.

Dolphin resort was surprisingly nice, the room spacious and clean, the staff friendly, helpful, location good, not crowded, I liked the place. There is a pool area that is safe and easy to reach within the resort space and a tiki bar with music and great service. All together we were pleased with the place and would consider it again.

No doubt, this property is as clean as it gets. However, its like a relict from the past. Doors do not seal the room, there are wide gaps all around, letting moisture, heat, and dirt through. Furniture is from Ikea, a $5 nightstand, one open shelf unit “Billy” with 4 small openings, thats probably meant to be for the content of your suitcase. Maybe ok for 2 nights. The sofa is stained. But the bed is ok. Everything in the bathroom looks brand new. The aircon unit is mounted underneath the window and its noise wakes you up when it turns on, and when it does, it blows right onto the bed. With Florida temps you have to let it run 24/7. No safe in the room for your values. After all, this is Motel standard of the ‘70ties. What troubles me the most is, USPS delivered a $120 replacement value package for me. I have the proof. The hotel lost it. No excuse, just “we don”t have it. I would not recommend this place.
