Close to Hollywood and Epcot. A relaxing short boat ride to the parks. Hotel had adult and kids pool. Nice grab and go restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and snacks.
This hotel is fantastic. It is within walking distance of Epcot and Disney studios. There are great restaurants and the Swan Hotel is a short walk where there are more great restaurants. I stay here whenever I am at Disney.
I loved this hotel so much from the staff to the amenities. My kids also enjoyed it and can’t wait to go back. The rooms are super clean and well taken care of. Food was amazing and the staff is also amazing. I can not wait to go back.
The property was amazing for our Disney World stay, I enjoyed everything about it. From the transportation to the amenities everything was perfect and easy to access.
No construction, clean room with a great view, helpful staff, and kind employees all around the resort. There is no airport shuttle, which is a bummer, and the air conditioner is good but could be better. The cons are not enough to keep us from visiting The Dolphins again. We enjoy our stays there and the convenience of the location at EPCOT.
Was an amazing day. The location was perfect. Staff was excellent. We loved our room and got upgraded to a RESORT view all around would stay here as many times over as I could.
Nice property with great location for Disney parks but they need to focus on arrival at the hotel for guests driving. It was pure chaos upon arrival with no signage or communication and you have to park on the other side of the neighboring hotel so it’s a bit of a walk with luggage.
This hotel is very convenient to two parks Hollywood studios and Epcot walkable or you can take the boat really easy a lot of restaurants to choose also you can walk to the broad walk.
