Reviews for Dolphin Bay Resort & Spa
Couples stay during the week, particularly relaxing!
Beautiful location, fantastic facility! Super clean! Love our daily spa and swim in the heated pool! And of course our daily walk along the ocean right in front of the hotel. Lido the restaurant on site has a great vibe and delicious food! Shell beach, and Dolphin Bay, such a gem on central coast! Highly recommend this place!

The most perfect place to stay in Pismo
I cannot say enough great things about the Doplhin Bay Resort & Spa and their staff. We try to visit Pismo once a year and typically stay at another hotel. We found Dolphin Bay online and thought we'd check it out this time especially for our 10 year wedding anniversary. The customer service we experienced was absolutely amazing and the best we've ever experienced. The resort and room were stunning, we didn't even want to leave. We got a surprise room upgrade and were spoiled by the staff with a fruit bowl and dessert for our 10 year anniversary. Super clean, super friendly, professional and of course an absolutely beautiful place to stay. We cannot wait to go back! A special shout out to Kyle, Taj and Ryan (from Lido), and the 2 men who greeted us at the Valet area (sorry didn't catch their names) who made the experience so perfect. Thank you! We will be sure to tell all our family and friends about this place. =)

My husband and I stayed at Dolphin Bay Resort & Spa with our two children and had an amazing stay. Not only was the room gorgeous and full of amenities, but the view was breathtaking. The food was also great, perfect choices for the kids and for us. We can't wait to go back!!

From the moment of our arrival, the staff members at the hotel were a class act. The room was fantastic with great views and the best part was we were able to take our Golden Retriever. It was truly a great family holiday! I would highly recommend Dolphin Bay Resort & Spa to anyone that wants top-of-the-line service and accommodations.
