    The welcome at Dolphin Dance Lodge was warm and inviting. The rooms were beautifully decorated and provided a comfortable stay. I especially enjoyed the delicious breakfast, which was a great start to my day. The owner, Stacey, was incredibly helpful in recommending activities and places to visit in the area. I highly recommend this hotel for a pleasant and enjoyable stay.

    The view from the hotel room was breathtaking, offering stunning views of the sea. The room was clean and comfortable, with a cozy and warm atmosphere that was perfect for relaxing in. The staff were friendly and welcoming, always eager to help and make our stay enjoyable. the location was superb with easy access to nearby attractions.

    Our stay was somewhat marred by the lack of basic amenities such as toiletries and some faulty equipment. The shower was not working properly, and there were many small insects in the room.

    I found that the pictures on the web are very misleading. We were expecting much more from this establishment, as it was rated as 4 star. Our room was tiny with a very noisy uncomfortable bed.(I Ended up sleeping on the floor as the bed hurt my back so much) Our room was basically in the parking lot and we had no access to the main house after 8pm. They should advertise their rooms as standard or basic rooms and not as executive suites.

    close to the beach; clean rooms; friendly hosts

    Don't choose this place if you know the difference between a funished (single) garage and an executive suite. There are no standard rooms but only executive ones which are in fact garages with glass doors and an inbuilt bathroom. You sleep bumper to bumper with the cars in front of the former garage door. You can imagine how nice it is to hear a car start 3 meters away from your bed . The smiling face of the owner can't make up for this wrong labelling. How can a place like this have 4 stars? It's a joke - but not a good one. Go there if you want a substandard room for standard prices.

    This hotel is located close to the beach, providing easy access to Bluebay beach and other nearby spots. the rooms are comfortable and come with en-suite bathrooms. Some of the facilities provided are a BBQ area and comfortable beds. In some rooms, guests appreciate a torch in case of load shedding.

    There were some issues with cleaning in some of the rooms, but s appreciated a comfortable stay with easy access to the beach.

    Nothing

    A lot of bugs in the room, someone's things in locker, impossibility to reach the beach, flowing of the sink, broken lamps. It is not a hotel at all! Not recommend it to anybody.

    The hotel had a great location, just a short drive from a popular elephant park and within walking distance of local shops. the free Wi-Fi worked very well, which was important for me during my business trip. the rooms were comfortable and had their own TVs, which was a nice touch.

    The cleanliness of the hotel was not up to my standards.

    The hotel staff communication at all times before arrival.

    The self catering units are cheaply and despicably furnished with plastic and cheap wood firniture, The rooms are not well maintained and cared for and are very unhyginic and dirty. The self catering units do not deserve a four star rating and the internet website gives a false picture about the self-catering units, The photos displayed on the website are the pictures taken for the beautiful Lodge they have. The self-catering units are situated very far from the sea and this information is not communicated to customers. Customers get a surprise and get disappointed only when they check in. People are prepared to pay for what is being adverting and what is being offered, the expensive 4 Star rating and rates on Booked.net

    The house was in a gorgeous location overlooking the water, and the people were lovely. Our rooms were so comfortable and we were very well looked after. Definitely a highlight of our trip!
