I stayed here at Dolphin Bay last weekend and had a wonderful visit. I had to come to Pismo Beach for a family function last minute and wanted a hotel with a pool to enjoy since it was supposed to be a beautiful hot weekend, and I chose dolphin bay based on a recommendation from a friend. The rooms are fantastic and spacious, the pool is delightful, and everyone who worked here was so kind and accommodating, from the servers in the restaurant to the hotel manager Erica. I highly recommend staying here and hope to be back again soon. Also the views can't be beat!

Such a beautiful property nestled on the bluffs of Pismo. My first time to Pismo and I couldn't have picked a better place to stay the night. Caleb valeted my car while I checked in with Lindsey. Both were extremely friendly and helpful. Caleb was extra nice enough to do a quick wipedown of the windshield for me as well. I stayed in the ocean view suite room which had an amazing view of the ocean and bluffs. I plan to come back this summer with my wife to fully explore this property and the surrounding area.

Fairly nice stay. Did not go into the Lido. Popped in to see the menu and it was filled with flies, even the menu had a nat on it. All staff was pleasant. Pool & hot tub was maintained.

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.
