"The Hotel was Short of Staff just like every other hotel & restaurant in Florida so we were very grateful to the people who were working so we could enjoy our first vacation since pandemic! The staff was very cordial & accommodating. The Hotel is Old Florida Style & relaxing! We would have liked a king size bed instead of 2 full size beds & the only other negative was the tv was old & sound system was bad. But the best is the Location ! walk right out to the beach. Beautiful Ocean views & Sunsets over the Ocean! St Pete Beach is so beautiful, white sand & crystal clear water. We enjoyed relaxing by the pool & siting at the Flipper Beach Bar with no obstructed views of the Ocean & Sunsets! Breakfast at the restaurant was always great! Lunch & Dinner was served at the Flipper Beach Bar which we enjoyed as we were able to stay in out bathing suits all the time! Bar staff was great, drinks were great & the food was really good too! Always cooked fresh from their kitchen! We enjoyed Tiki Bar Hopping along the Beach as well & found live music next door. Publix across the street as well. We had such a good time we will be back again soon!"

“Dolphin Beach Resort occupies a prime beachfront spot in St. Pete Beach, appealing to families with its private sugar-sand expanse and resort-style vibe. Onsite dining and event spaces enhance its versatility, while the promise of spacious guest rooms overlooking the Gulf suggests a comfortable stay; however, some reports mention inconsistent upkeep, so manage expectations accordingly.”
