Oct 17, 2026Not great
We had a room with a view of a roof and air conditioners just off the elevators. So my Marriott gold status didn’t get me a high floor or away from elevators that my profile requests. Loud, terrible view, parking lot was taken by a tent structure so only option was to valet. Not great if you need to get something from your car (15 min wait, tipping, etc). Room was clean. But location/walking to EPCOT is very nice.

Sep 28, 2026Shame about the resort fee.
Stayed here for 3 nights during our 10 night trip to Orlando. The hotel is ideally located nest the Boardwalk, Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Epcot is about a 10 minute walk, similar for Hollywood studios. Check in was straight forward and our room was ready before the usual time, it was very spacious and well appointed, only issue was the air conditioning wasn't working but it was quickly rectified. Beds were very comfortable, had no trouble sleeping. If you're lucky your room will provide you views of the nightly fireworks at Epcot. There are a number of restaurants at the hotel, we only tried the Mexican, however we dined too late to appreciate it, so unable to review it properly, however the food was very good. As a Disney partner hotel the early entry to the theme parks is well worth the stay, as we managed tp get a number of major rides done at the theme parks during our stay. The only downside is this hotel charges a resort fee of $50 + tax per night of your visit, which "official" Disney hotels don't. To be honest I don't understand what you actually get for this charge. We were aware of the charge before we made the booking but probably wouldn't stay here again, because of this.

Sep 25, 2026Amazing stay
Absolutely an amazing experience. All staff are wonderful and the proximity to Boardwalk and Epcot is a great perk. Highly recommend for future stays. Rooms are a bit dated but we are only in them to sleep.

Sep 21, 2026More Than $2,000 Disappeared From Our Hotel Room and Was Never Recovered
Unfortunately, the most important thing I have to say about our stay at the Dolphin is that I had a significant amount of cash disappear from inside my luggage in our hotel room. On the fifth day of our stay, I discovered that the money was gone. We immediately reported it to hotel security, who said they would investigate. Although the staff was courteous and attentive, the investigation ultimately led nowhere, the money was never recovered, and we were left without any real resolution. I still need to file a police report regarding the incident. To be fair, the hotel waived some of our charges at the end of our stay, which I appreciated. However, even after that, our financial loss was still close to $2,000. More than anything, it was extremely upsetting to realize that our belongings were not safe inside our hotel room, especially at a resort of this level. As for the hotel itself, I also struggle to understand why the Dolphin is considered a deluxe resort. The rooms are not particularly spacious, storage is limited, and the bathroom felt dated, with an older bathtub and shower curtain instead of a modern shower. We stayed at Universal’s Cabana Bay during the same trip, and I honestly did not feel that the Dolphin room offered a noticeably more luxurious experience. The resort itself is nice, with good common areas and several restaurants, although prices are high. But ultimately, having a large amount of money disappear from our belongings inside our room completely overshadowed the rest of our stay. It was stressful, disappointing, and not something I ever expected to experience during a Disney vacation. Unfortunately, I would not stay at the Dolphin again.

Fell way short of expectations
My husband and I just returned from the Dolphin. I appreciate that our requests for an early check-in and King bed were granted, however, it was extremely disappointed that not a single person acknowledged that we were there on our honeymoon, despite my having called the resort at least three times before our arrival and confirming. Well, the exterior of the building, location, and the lobby/common areas were breathtaking, the rooms are dated. We were never able to get our TV to connect to any streaming apps, even after 3 separate visits from Engineering. Our AC also stopped working the second night of our stay. Although they did eventually get it back working again, it took three consecutive visits from engineering in the same night. The bed was comfortable and our room was clean overall, but it was extremely dated. I didn't even know they still make coffee makers like the one in our room. My husband has a disability and was unable to get on/off the theme park buses, using the accessible ramp, but had no issues whatsoever when using the official Disney bus from the neighboring yacht and beach club resort. Thankfully management did reimburse us for our $50 resort fee per night, but this experience in my opinion, was unacceptable. Next time I will spend the additional $100 per night to stay at an official Disney resort, which is what it would've ended up costing us when you factor out the nightly self parking fee of $40 plus tax per night and the $50 plus tax nightly resort fee.
