Dolphin Bay Resort & Spa

Just got back from a tremendous vacation at the Dolphin Bay Resort. Upon arrival, the mood was set perfectly by our front desk reception from Arieli who, upon hearing of our 13th anniversary, made sure we had the best possible room with a view, provided a wonderful bottle of white wine and hand delivered a fresh fruit plate which took us no time to finish off. The Maître d’ at the restaurant happily accommodated our request to switch from dining room to our suite even after we had been seated. Both of the Bell desk gentlemen we interacted with treated us like family and made sure everything was to our liking. The grounds are phenomenal. Perched on a tall bluff, the views of the ocean are expansive and yet not seeming out of reach. I cannot say enough about the location or the staff. I wish I had booked at least three more nights. We will be back, and you should make a point of checking this place out yourself.

Our second stay at this fabulous resort. The most welcoming, friendly, professional staff - everyone you meet greets you with a smile and warm comment! Complimentary glass of wine as return guests was a delightful surprise. We had dinner at Lido one evening - lovely food and Celena was superb dealing with a hiccup with the order. Gluten free options, including pasta, available. Outstanding!

Service was excellent, very responsive via text, including fresh towels when I asked. Pool was fantastic—the kids loved it. The hot tub was wonderfully hot. Beach was a bit of a walk, not as easy to get to as I was expecting. The hotel supplied games for the kids. Also complimentary hot chocolate packets for the kids. I took a yoga class with KJ on Saturday at 11:30am and I highly recommend it! $15-30 sliding scale fee. The kitchen is well stocked with dish soap, coffee, filters, etc. It would have been nice if they supplied a few detergent pods for the washing machine. The hotel is in a quiet area (a little too quiet for our family) but there is a nice Italian grocery store just a 5 minute walk away.

My cousins and I took a girls trip for 3 nights and 4 days. We had such a wonderful time. The hotel is amazing, right off the beach. The room and service is fantastic. We loved being at the pool. The food at the hotel was very good. We felt the location was close by to San Louis Obispo and Paso Robles. We all agreed we would stay there again.

Superior customer service and truly "dog friendly!" The resort is in an exceptional location and the suite was spacious, well-appointed and more than comfortable. And they really are welcoming of your dog - protective cover on couch, dog biscuits, bed, bowl, etc. ( all so appreciated). When I noted my frustration at the lack of instructions for appliances, tvs, thermostat, etc. after a recent stay, I was contacted personally by customer relations who actually thanked me for bringing shortcomings to their attention and offered to make sure my next visit is exceptional! I will definitely go back and stay again.
