We’ve been staying at another resort in Pismo since we got married in 1995; twice a year. We didn’t feel appreciated, so we did a night at Dolphin Bay about a year ago just to see how it compared. We loved it, so we booked again and stayed there last week for three night. We had a wonderful time. We found a new resort…The Staff was amazing! The grounds were beautiful and the food at Lido was fantastic! We will be spending our time at Dolphin Bay moving forward. Thank you Dolphin Bay team.

Reservation was smooth, check-in was a breeze, pre-check-in communications were exceptional alerting me to different activities taking place during my stay, and checkout was quick and easy. The room was spacious and clean and well appointed. Lido’s is great for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a glass of wine. And the views are fabulous.

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.
