"Exceptional location with easy access to the skyliner, walking distance to Epcot."

Reviewed May 23, 2025 NEW

Great location in Disney, very nice resort. We took advantage of several restaurants at the boardwalk resort right next-door. We were able to walk to the Skyliner & Epcot. Transportation to Epcot and Hollywood Studios is available by boat. The resort is very nice with several pools and lots of amenities. The rooms are standard hotel rooms. Don’t expect anything special in the room, but it was clean and comfortable and that’s all that matters.

"Great, Short Stay!"

Reviewed May 14, 2025 NEW

The room was great for our needs. We spent most of the day at the park and really just used the hotel and room to sleep and get ready. “Fuel” in the lobby was great for us to grab a quick breakfast and fill our late night drinks and snacks needs! Our room was clean and seemed to be well maintained. For us it was a good stay overall and we would stay here again if we wanted to be central to the park like this weekend trip needed! A very serviceable room and property!

"If you're going to Disney, STAY HERE!"

Reviewed May 08, 2025 NEW

We booked this hotel so we could stay on Disney Property without paying the Disney premium price. It was a deluxe resort for a value price. We arrived early off of our red-eye flight, and they were very accommodating. The rooms were beautiful, the pool complex was fabulous, (my husband is still mad at me that we didn't book an extra "Resort day") It was a wonderful place to stay for our Disney trip, the buses and transportation were all on time and clean - 10/10 would stay here again.

"We enjoyed our stay!"

Reviewed April 30, 2025 NEW

We stayed here for three nights after getting a deal. We tried to extend one more night but it would have been twice what our deal was. We usually stay at the Hilton Lake Buena Vista Spa near disney springs so booked our final night there. When I booked the dolphin, I read some reviews about moldy smell in the rooms so I upgraded (for $50.00 a night) to a balcony and our room smelled fine. The grounds are beautiful and well kept, the pools were nice and they have awesome restaurants to choose from. They are pricey (you are at Disney, they are all pricey) but the service and food were top notch! We had some great breakfast and an awesome meal at the Blue Zoo. The people were also very nice and helpful. I will say, our room at the Hilton was bigger and nicer for 1/2 the price but we enjoyed our time here and would stay again.

"Another great time at the Dolphin"

Reviewed April 23, 2025

I recently stayed here for one night with my 80 years old parents. We had two rooms and they were able to put us all on the same floor. I had contacted them before our visit to request that my parents could get an early check in (so that they could take a rest bit from Epcot) and they were able to accommodate us. Diego at the front desk was fabulous and a pleasure to talk to. While we were not able to take advantage of their wonderful restaurants and pools, we did enjoy the comfortable beds and perks for being on property. We’ve stayed at this hotel many times over the years and if you can get a deal, it’s a great place. Our only issues were my parents has a handicap assessable room but were disappointed in the low toilet seat and non existent water pressure in the sink and shower. Also, their parking lot is being refurbished and they wanted us to park at the Swan but my dad did valet since they have handicap parking and this cost $51 for one night. Parking should be included. Other than that, we had no complaints. The rooms were comfy and clean and the access to the parks is a plus. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.
