Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort

The lobby and public areas were beautiful. All the restaurants offer a great variety of food. The hallsways and carpet could use a little upgrade,and would have thought a hotel scent would have been added because there was also an odd scent as I walked through the hotel. Being so close to Epcot was very convenient. Park once and that's it, Water taxi takes you straight there. Overall nice stay but when I go I would hope a few of those things are addressed.

I stayed at the Marriott Dolphin Hotel for four nights in August 2025 while attending a business conference. I requested a room on an upper floor, away from the elevator banks, and ideally with a decent view. Upon check-in, I was assigned a room on the 16th floor near the elevators with a view overlooking the hotel’s rooftop. While the location was not ideal, I was relieved that noise from the elevator area was minimal throughout my stay. The room itself was acceptable but uninspiring. The décor felt bland and outdated, with furnishings and finishes showing signs of age. The bathroom fixtures, including the shower head and mirror, were particularly worn and in need of replacement. The photos attached reflect the dated condition and plain styling of the room. Service was polite, and Andrew Herms, the representative who handled my request, listened but ultimately placed me in a room that did not fully align with what I asked for—especially disappointing since the hotel was not fully booked. I believe a more thoughtful room assignment could have provided a better guest experience. Overall, while my stay was manageable, the room fell short of expectations for a Marriott-branded property. A refresh of the décor and fixtures, along with more attentive room assignments, would go a long way in improving the guest experience at the Dolphin Hotel.

Love this hotel. Very clean, beautiful and quiet. The room was super cold and the beds were extremely comfy! According to my sleep score, I had the best nights sleep ever! The boats to the parks are super easy (especially if youre at the dock when they start running). Took the bus to disney springs and that was easy too. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because of parking. They really only had half a parking lot available for self parking due to construction. If they know they are going to be that limited on parking, they should either offer free valet if you can't find a spot or open more of the parking up to self park since the valet lot wasn't even half full. Thankfully, once we arrived we didn't have to move the car again until we were going home or it would have been much more frustrating.

I came to the place to visit friends and had dinner at the Bluezoo restaurant. So this review is not about the resort but the restaurant. Bewared about the self parking: $38 for less than 2 hours. The resort itself is beautiful. The restaurant was on the lower mezzanine. It was not busy on Monday evening at 7 pm, about 30% occupied, included the bar area. The service was very good. The "free" bread and the crab nachos were really good too. My ultimate steak was flavorful but salty, especially the more I ate, the saltier I tasted. Others in our party didn't have this issue.

This place is overrated. Got here and there’s no room for self parking and $56 for valet for 1 night. No luggage carts at the entrance so you have to haul everything while someone goes to park the car at the Swan. Also when your spouse goes to park the car 5 minutes away they will not allow you to check in while waiting for them even though you have all of their cards/IDs and reservation number. Can’t be charging what there charging with this crap service.
