My husband and I have been staying at various cottages at Dolphin Beach Resort since April 2004 and have enjoyed every one of our trips. The cottages are clean, well maintained, nicely appointed and located on a beautiful beach. We have stayed at Ocean Temple, Buttonwood and most recently at Red House with family.

Ocean Temple and Buttonwood are identically set up inside and are located on opposite ends of the property. They both have an upper bedroom with queen bed and full bath (shower only). The view from both upper bedrooms is spectacular and a pleasure to wake up to each morning. They are air conditioned which makes for comfortable sleeping.

The lower level of each cottage consists of a small kitchen (stovetop but no oven) and living area. There is a table that seats 4 for indoor dining as well as a 1/2 bath. There is a small television and DVD players can be taken from the office along with a large DVD library.

Red House was very comfortable for the three adults and two teens we traveled with. There are three queen bedrooms (2 lower and 1 upper). Each has it's own bathroom which is very convenient.. There was also a twin bed located in the loft upstairs if needed. The kitchen and dining area in this cottage are a bit larger and there is an oven if needed.

All of the cottages come with their own Weber charcoal grill, beach chairs and umbrella. The property managers are very helpful and will pick you up at the ferry dock and take you to the property or to go get your golf cart. The pool is a nice freshwater experience after a day in the ocean or on days when the beach may be too breezy.

I would highly recommend the cottages at Dolphin Beach Resort and plan to visit there again in the future. FYI- they also run nice specials on their website from time to time!

we just returned from 5 days at Dolphin Beach Resort and were beyond delighted. From the moment we stepped off the ferry and were met by Lubin and brought to our cottage we were enthralled. Our cottage, Ocean Temple was unique and just what we hoped for. Private deck and steps to an almost deserted beach crystal clear ocean and incredible weather. If you are looking for a peaceful, totally relaxing vacation, this is the place. The cottage is clean, comfortable and totally quiet. Definitely buy food and drinks in Marsh Harbor as the only grocery store is rather expensive and limited. The Art Cafe is a great place for breakfast and lunch. Everyone at Dolphin Beach was friendly and full of good tips. enjoy the pool, walk on the almost deserted beach, find seashells and just relax and enjoy. I wish we never had to leave but will be back. ENJOY!!! and forget about the craziness of everyday life.

We loved staying at Dolphin Beach. We stayed in Sail Loft and loved having our own private deck right on the dune. We ate breakfast every morning watching sunrise over the Atlantic with the beach to ourselves. It is a perfect quaint beach escape. Nippers, and Docksiders are two great places on the island to eat and there are many places to snorkle right from the beach. Troy and Maria at Dive Guana are great for any of your Diving and Boat Rental needs! The staff is always willing to help and could not have been more friendly. We loved it and will return often. Great Guana Cay is perfect!!!

this resort is really the only place to stay on Guana Cay. There are a couple other places, but not as nice as the Dolphin Beach Resort. The resorts grounds are beautiful and the houses are all beautiful. Dont expect tv although they do have them in all rooms, They have a large video collection at the front office since there is no night life. You can use internet in the front office as well. A golf cart is a must on the island unless you want to walk everywhere which isnt realistic. Yes it is a small island but you definitnely cannot walk everywhere! The most amazing part of the resort is the beach. The only person is you and maybe the guests from the house near you. The beach is untouched and beautiful. The islands people are more than generous and welcoming as are many bahamian islands. There are 5 places to eat on the island. We only ate at 2 most of the time. Dockside grille which everything was excellent every single night! This is more of a place to eat at night. And then there is the FAMOUS NIPPERS!!!! This is the most famous restaurant in the Bahamas and only bahamians and people who frequent the bahamas alot know about it. This is a must go to for lunch, ESPECIALLY ON SUNDAYS!!!! that is when they have their party. Everyone on the island plus surrounding islands and people even come in from the states and anchor the boats in the bay come for this event! The other restaurants are a cafe by the bay, orchid bay marina (we never went to), and Grabbers which is a definite NO! We ate here one night. The food was horrible number one after we did not receive it for (no joke) 3 hours! everyone elses meal took around the same. It took 45 minutes to get drinks. Finally we spoke with the owner who was drunk and she cursed us out, even though we were incredibly nice to her. Please do not give them your business! If you have any questions please feel free to contact me!
