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.

Disney’s Dolphin Resort is no doubt one of, if not, the best hotel in Orlando. The location, right near Epcot and Hollywood Studios, is incredible and is super convenient. The rooms are basic, but meet your needs perfectly. The balcony has a nice view and looks nice for a pretty small space. The pools and the fun activities add on to the quality of the resort. One of my favorites are the swan boats you could paddle on their lake. I would say the souvenirs and pool items are pretty expensive, but the other fun things that come with the resort make up for it. The staff and workers are super respectful and are willing to help everyone. The restaurants are exquisite! The resort is most definitely worth the prices and is a must go to.

Our recent stay was a huge disappointment which was especially disheartening given that it coincided with my 40th birthday. Check-in was easy, and we were initially happy with the room we had booked using points. However, we were offered a paid upgrade to a larger room, and since it was my birthday, I agreed. Unfortunately, this decision resulted in immediate regret. Upon arrival, we discovered the upgraded room was directly next to the elevators. The noise was extremely disruptive, leading to very little sleep. The room itself was also noticeably dusty and had a musty odor, which was unacceptable. Most concerning, however, was the construction taking place directly outside our window. There were multiple men working on the roof immediately outside our room, able to look straight in. On more than one occasion, they interacted inappropriately with our children by staring in and “playing” with them through the window. While we attempted to tolerate this on the first day, it happened again the following day despite my request for a late checkout so I could rest due to the lack of sleep from the elevator noise. This situation made us feel uncomfortable and unsafe. When I brought these issues to management, the response was extremely disappointing. I was offered 5,000 points as compensation and was told they would appear in my account immediately. As of now, they have not. The lack of follow-through only added to the frustration. Additionally, the way guests using points are treated at your property is disrespectful. Points are earned through loyalty, time, and money, and should not result in diminished service. I am struggling to understand how this aligns with your brand’s stated values. Finally, I must note that valet service was careless. Our personal belongings were left exposed and unattended, creating a serious security concern. This stay fell far below expectations and significantly impacted what should have been a meaningful milestone celebration. I would appreciate acknowledgment of these concerns, confirmation regarding the promised points, and information on how this situation will be addressed.

My husband and I have stayed here multiple times in the past year or two and we love it here. Getting the perks of a Disney resort is great. The convenience of being able to take a bus or ferry to the parks/attractions is perfect (you can also walk to Epcot and Hollywood Studios). Not to mention being able to walk to the Boardwalk or Yacht and Beach Club resorts. The hotel is always clean and staff always friendly. We love staying here and always look forward to our next trip.
