Top Dolphin Research Center Hotel Reviews

Hawks Cay Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Overall a great resort. The WIFI in our condo was down for 2 days…not a big deal overall, but at a nice resort I would have expected them to fix it sooner. I would definitely stay there again."

Rainbow Bend Resort

10/10 Excellent

"What a beautiful little gem! After being so pleasantly greeted by Heaven at the check in desk, we headed to our room which was beautifully presented and so clean! Absolutely gutted to not be staying here for longer than one night but we will be recommending to all of our friends and family. Unfortunately we didn’t get to use the pool or the kayak/bike hire due to a lack of time, but if I had known how incredible this place was, I definitely would’ve made an effort to stay a few more nights. The private beach is beautiful and the included breakfast was delicious! Thank you for a wonderful stay, it was one of the highlights of my whole trip!"

Sunset Catch- Gulf Front, Open Water Views, Private Pool and Dock, Kayaks.

10/10 Excellent

"This property was everything we had hoped for. Spacious social areas, heated pool, and wonderful pier that my family fished from every day catching many mangrove snapper. I am sure we will be returning next Spring. I highly recommend this property. The icing on our vacation was seeing sea turtles and a manatee from the pier. "

Sunsets in Paradise~ Gulf Front Pool Home, 22' Dock, Kayaks, Bikes & Paddleboards

10/10 Excellent

"Beach view of good but no access to beach, which we knew. The pool was enjoyed but it is quite small. The house was pleasantly clean and well decorated. The kitchen was well stocked"

Luxury Oceanfront Retreat w/ Private Beach & Pool

8/10 Good

"The house was perfect for our large family vacation. We had a few issues with the air conditioning upstairs, chairs broken, and a few other cosmetic issues but management was very responsive, things were fixed as quickly as they could have been, and they couldn't be any nicer about it. I would definitely recommend renting baby gates for the stairs and outside patio, especially if you have little ones. The pool was a hit and the views couldn't be beat. Definitely recommend the house for any vacation. "
