Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, stylish, and well-stocked, but they felt more like a budget motel than a resort. The service was friendly and helpful, although the appearance of the hotel seemed a bit dumpy. The location was beautiful with cool attractions nearby, but there were some drawbacks like the outside entrance and proximity to the fishermen's area. The dining options were satisfactory, with local fish available, and the facilities were decent overall.
The hotel is perfectly situated near the waterfront, offering spacious and well-equipped rooms for families seeking a quiet retreat. The service was friendly but slightly rushed. The location was ideal for accessing popular attractions, and the dining options were satisfying with delicious fresh products available. However, the need for more time and included services was noticeable.
The hotel has its pros and cons. The rooms, although cozy and well-equipped for longer stays, had a rundown stove and some cleanliness issues. The service was exceptional, despite the disturbance of late-night drilling. The location is convenient for a Keys road trip, offering proximity to various activities and beautiful surroundings. The dining options were good, especially the regional jams at the Tiki bar. Overall, a mixed experience with its ups and downs.
The Dolphin Apartment provided a beautiful suite overlooking a picturesque busy harbor, with top sheets neatly set up for our comfort. The service from Captain Roger and the crew was incredibly welcoming and helpful. The location was ideal for those exploring the Keys or seeking a stopover to Key West. Dining options were satisfactory, and the facilities offered a pleasant stay overall.
