Loved the amount of restaurants it had
The bathroom tile in the actual shower could use some updating

The property is beautiful, very well maintained and beautiful halls. The pool was also fun and nice
The room was super small, with no room for languages. The bathroom was so tiny that it was hard to get into the bathtub. The restaurants in the hotel were ridiculously expensive.

Instalaciones hermosas
La comida es poco variable y los horarios de los restaurantes limitados.
En el ingreso a el hotel se debería dar más información y acompañamiento se todo lo que los huéspedes pueden hacer en el hotel para divertirse. Me perdí de realizar el recorrido a el complejo y los demás hoteles, disfrutar de los restaurantes de los otros hoteles del complejo y las actividades que se hacen y como huspede teníamos derechos. Solo el día que ya nos retirábamos del hotel nos enteramos de esto.

Beds.
I has stayed at the Dolphin 3 years ago and my experience with the Disney buses and overall connection with WDW was smoother. This time around, the buses would leave us in the Transportation Center at Magic Kingdom instead of closer like before, and like the other disney buses. I would reconsider staying here because I felt a huge disconnection from disney. No magic hours either.

Location to Animal Kingdom. We loved the choice of restaurants and we really enjoyed walking the Boardwalk nearby.
The pools were freezing. We had expected heated pools or at least somewhat warm water. So we didn’t get to enjoy the beautiful grotto like we had expected.

Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Zimmer war sauber und mit schönem Ausblick. Personal war freundlich, hilfsbereit und sehr bemüht. Busshuttel zu den Parks und Disney Springs funktioniert unkompliziert.

Closeness to Disney parks. Valet staff was stellar. Bellhops were awesome. Front desk very professional in light of some issues we dealt with. Ninshoka…hope I spelled correctly it was early..very caring and helpful.
Not having housekeeping taken care of on Thursday until two calls and being asked when we wouldn’t be there..didn’t take place til 6pm. Then Saturday, got back from Magic Kingdom to a not so magical full garbage that hadn’t been removed. Front desk did comp us $100 though. Just less than expected from a Marriott.

The property was very pretty
The bartender was rude. the rooms were too small the beds were small and the neighboring room was very noisy and disturbing at all hours of the night.

מיקום נוח ביחס לפארקים, בריכה נהדרת, מגוון מסעדות לכל טעם ומחיר
גדול והמוני מאוד. הלובי הרגיש כמו תחנת רכבת עם המון משתתפים רעשניים בשלושה כנסים שהתקיימו במקביל.
שום עיצוב של דיסני. סטנדרטי וסתמי לחלוטין.
ההטבות בכניסה לפארקים זניחות לחלוטין - מקנה כניסה מוקדמת של חצי שעה בפתיחה. המינימום שהייתי מצפה זה לתת ג׳יני פלוס לכל אחד מהאורחים, אבל לא.
יקר מאוד ביחס לתמורה.

Dimensiunile camerelor, transportul către parcuri
Personalul- ai senzația ca vorbești cu niște roboti fără personalitate, Învățați sa spună 3 cuvinte pe care le folosesc in orice context.
Parcare cu plată. La prețurile lor ar trebuii să albă parcare gratis pentru clienți.
Percep un depozit care nu are logică. Cine-și permite un asemenea hotel nu fuge cu prosoapele. E jignitor. Te tratează ca pe un hoț de la început.

Location! Location! Location!! The facilities were great!!
Carpets in hallways need replacing! Also, our room was not ready until after 4:00.

Location was perfect! On the board walk and half way between Hollywood studios and Epcot. Great walking distance from both. Really nice pools, beach front, restaurants in the hotel and at the boardwalk all within walking distance. Tons of things to do on a down day between parks.

Easy access & early entry to parks. Complimentary water bottles. Walking distance to Epcot & boardwalk. Kimonos restaurant & fuel coffee were amazing.
Room had a bit of a musty smell.

I stayed in room 9200. I've stayed at the Dolphin many times in the past, but I never enjoyed a room as much as this one. While there wasn't exactly a view, all those windows and the light generated from them were great and I enjoyed them so much anyway. This visit turned out to be my favorite of all of my visits, mainly because of that room. I plan to request it or a similar one when I book future trips.
I can't think of anything really.

I liked the location and the pool
Outside of hotel is beautiful. Rooms are mediocre at best. Can’t close the bathroom door due to the size of bathroom. Beds were uncomfortable as were pillows. The sheets weren’t changed when we got there and bed smelled of body odor. Room was small and smelled dingy and old. For the prices, it was beyond disappointing, it was for my son’s 1st birthday and can’t say it was nice. I would never stay at this hotel again.

Could walk to Epcot or take the boat.
Restaurants in the hotel were excellent!
Buffet breakfast if you want, in some of the restaurants ,a little pricy or if just coffee etc they have a similar to Starbucks store.
Great pool!
Bus to other parks as well!
The 40.00 daily rate for housekeeping daily,skip it clean your own room.
Ask for towels,toiletries etc. daily.

The location was fantastic, loved to being able to walk to Epcot and Hollywood studios, loved to have a pool with a bar, a beach with Epcot firework views, walking to the boardwalk, boat and skyliner.
The sofa-bed was uncomfortable and we had to contact the room service multiple times to be able to get comforter and blankets to our child who was using the sofa-bed.

I had so many problems with the hotel and don't order nothing from Magicalfloralandgifts.com all the hotel does is keep it. Whole experience was a nightmare with the stay.

The room and view was spectacular. The pool was nice but too shallow.
The Food was terrible and overpriced. I expected a 28.00 hamburger to be much better. The frozen yogurt was better than the food. The pool was too shallow and only up to 4 feet, both pools. The private beach was worthless you cant go in the water and the sand was filthy.

Beautiful property, comfortable beds, good size rooms
The ridiculous resort fees. When only staying one night I feel like there should be an option to opt out of any “benefit” you might receive that would be covered under the resort fee. The parking fees were also ridiculously high.

Location for parks. Transportation. Restaurants.

the rooms need an update.
10.0
We loved how close this property was to everything. Shuttle to Disney springs and to parks and then you have the water taxi to get you to Epcot and Hollywood studios. The staff was super nice,And attentive. The rooms were clean. They have several restaurants on campus. A Disney store a spa and ice cream parlor. It’s really a hidden gem.
There really wasn’t anything we didn’t like. We had a phenomenal stay!
9.0
We were offered an upgrade to a balcony room with a view of EPCOT which was amazing. We ate at BlueZoo which was amazing! Boats to EPCOT and HS were wonderful!
Wish there were mirrors on the closet doors or somewhere else you could plug in curling iron b/c not a lot of room in the bathroom area. I didn't like the smell of soap and shower gel, too masculine, would have preferred a more neutral fragrance. It was frustrating to call 0 for the front desk only to get a phone tree and couldn't speak with a live person; it would have been helping to know about text service upon check-in

Clean property, great outdoor pool and beach area and very close to Disney parks.
No complaints other than it would be nice to have a microwave to heat up food.
