AAA discount! Excellent price point! Rooms were quiet and the beds were extremely comfortable! I have severe scoliosis and normally have to request mattress toppers but I did not have to at the Dolphin! Disney deluxe amenities available to guests of Dolphin/Swan/Reserve which includes early park entry, deluxe after hours, reserving lightning lanes 7 days in advance. The location is phenomenal with boat access to two parks: Epcot and Hollywood Studios. You can also take the boat to Beach Club and Boardwalk. Really enjoyed the breakfast from Garden Grove (located next door at Swan) but do note to check their hours because they were not open every day. We did not enjoy Rosa Mexicana (located in Dolphin) breakfast buffet. We felt the quality and variety didn't match the price point. Blue Zoo (located in Dolphin) was one of our favorite meals of the week. The posh/chic vibe, the music, the drinks and food presentation, the decor was all fantastic! I do believe it may not be appropriate for small children, as the experience and atmosphere tended to be more adult driven.

Absolutely love the dolphin and this is our go-to stay whenever we head to Disney! First and foremost, you get an affordable price and still the magic of disney, with a hotel that is just as beautiful as some of the official disney resorts. The friendship boat makes it fun and easy to sail to Epcot and Hollywood studios, and nothing beats the back entrance that is always less crowded! The service is always friendly and quick, valet always gets our car out to us in no time! Their is a ton of options for dining right inside the resort, and you don't ever have to leave the property if you don't want to! The room service is fantastic, they tidy up your space nicely before you are back for day the day, and the room service breakfast is literally AMAZING. Hot and fresh and delicious! If you are a family or even a couple looking for a great alternative to a disney resort, LOOK NO FURTHER! This is your spot! Don't pass up the Dolphin or Swan! :)

We did not enjoy our experience at the Dolphin Resort, and would not stay here again unless we absolutely had to. The location is great, it is within walking distance to Disney's Boardwalk and Epcot which was really nice! We definitely liked the location. However, there were quite a few things we didn't enjoy that made it to where we won't be back. First, we booked this room for one night to allow us to come into Disney one day earlier. We enjoyed that this hotel got the Disney Magic Hours and wasn't crazy expensive like most of the other hotels that offer this, or so I thought it was cheaper. We got there and there wasn't any parking nearby, so we had to park the car with valet. The valet guy was great, took our keys and parked our car. I went in and got us checked in and found out that on top of the $55 I just paid to park my car for one day; I was also going to have to pay a daily resort fee which put me in for over an additional $100 by time parking and fees were added. This made the room almost equivalent to staying at an actual Disney moderate resort. We made our way to the room, and it was spacious. The windows were so dirty that our great view was hardly a view, and we couldn't take any photos out of the window- that is how dirty it was with handprints on the inside and grime on the outside. That night, our room was so incredibly humid that we couldn't hardly sleep. The bed was very comfy, but the sheets are so noisy that every time you moved you were waking someone up in the room. We did not get much sleep as guests were also very noisy and seemingly drunk all night long going down the hallways. We got breakfast in the cafe, and while it had the longest line, it did seem to move quickly. We waited forever for our coffee to be ready, and when it was ready the order was wrong. Stood there for several minutes for them to correct the order, to no avail and finally walked off. We checked out and tipped Valet. By time we got to our next resort, I realized they only gave me back the key fob, and all of my other keys from my key ring were missing. Called valet as there were several important keys on my key ring, and they said they did not have it. This was very frustrating as I lost every single key to my office, safe, house, family's homes, etc. While the resort itself is very pretty, and the location great- this was a never again hotel for us! Definitely not worth the money, and the experience was very poor all the way around.

The Dolphin was a conference hotel, and we were concerned after seeing a lot of mixed reviews online. However, our experience was excellent. The staff was friendly, beds were comfortable, it was in a great location near the Boardwalk, there was transportation to and from Disney Springs, it had a variety of restaurants, an amazing spa, the elevators were quick, and they even had laundry services and an arcade for anyone who loves arcade gaming. Blue Zoo was good, and we absolutely loved Rosa's Mexicano. Our room was spacious, clean, and updated.
