Reviews for Dolphin Bay Resort & Spa
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. =)

It is a beautiful and happy place, We have built so many wonderful memories at the Dolphin Bay with our friends and family. The staff and service are outstanding and always go above and beyond! Thank you Dolphin Bay 🍀

Worth Every Penny
This is our umpteenth time at the Dolphin Bay and it never disappoints! This place is the only true resort property on the central coast. The staff is so friendly and warm and the grounds are luxurious at peaceful and not glitzy. You feel the effect of the surroundings of nature more than the put ons of a four diamond resort. The rooms are actually large spacious condo-like units with full kitchens and a lot of them have fireplaces. The stay is glorious whether it's sunny and warm or with a stormy sea outside your room. This is a real treat for us because it is no small thing to drop a minimum of $500 a night for a non-ocean view room but when we can get away every couple of years or so for a few nights, we definitely find it worth every penny. We’ve stayed in every room category, depending on how the pocketbook is doing, and it’s always such a wonderful experience!

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.
