Room was exactly as described. Heated pool was always filled with families with kids. The other pool was too cold to swim. Was nice to have two pools though.

Amazing view, quiet location in the facility. Far enough back off the busier road to not hear the traffic yet close enough to hear the waves from dusk through the evening. Beach access is wonderful. Great stay

Condo was nice. Needs some minor things but nothing too drastic. Needs some decent nonstick pans which I should have brought myself. Beds were comfortable and the shower was super nice. We enjoyed the resort style pool and drinking coffee on the big balcony with a beautiful view!

My wife and I have stayed multiple times over the last 10 year in the Dolphin Smile View. Every year we consider other condominiums, but in the end always go back to the Dolphin Smile. It's a great value now during the upgrade of the entire property!
