For the money, the Dolphin is worth it. You’re on the beachside of Gulf Dr. and you can walk to many places. There’s plenty of cabanas in front of the hotel on a nice stretch of beach.

5th time staying here- I love it because it’s nothing huge or busy, and has easy access to the beach. I loved staying on the first level poolside as well this year! Yes, the hotel could definitely use some updating with decor, so that is the only negative (the interior color scheme and carpet in particular).
