"Unfortunately there were renovation works taking place... so trying to relax with hammers and chainsaw was not ideal. I wish we had been advised when I booked.
Otherwise the food was excellent, the staff outstanding.
The room was just ok, despite the offered upgrade. No light switch by the bed, super noisy aircon that kept waking us up at night. Kayaks were cracked and the beach is nothing like the photos - don't trust what you see.
But the outstanding staff and great food, as well as a well planned property overall (once the reno is finished) deserved the extra star."
"The view was excellent, plenty of space in the villa, inside the villa needs a lot of renovation, and the cabinets are all broken, the shutters in the windows are all broken, the bed needs to be replaced needs a new couch and also needs to update the kitchen, underneath the sink was all flooded with water. The toilet is so old-fashioned needs to be replaced. The staff were all very nice and very polite and very helpful."
"Very private and relaxing. Highly recommend :)
If you’re looking for a low-key stay without all the hustle and bustle… this is the place. Our stay started off with the cyclone but Akash was very attentive and helped us out a lot! They thankfully have a back up generator which was really helpful since the power was out for a couple of days. Even though this was our first cyclone and we felt a bit unprepared… we felt very safe and secure. The pool was amazing! One of the main reasons why I wanted to stay at this villa vs a resort was that we could do late night swims. The stars were so beautiful. We will definitely be coming back! "
"We had the most amazing honeymoon, from the get go we were greeted with smiles and hugs. The property was spectacular, ocean views from your room, at breakfast, lunch and dinner. We arranged for massages and had the pleasure of a couples massage in the open air of the island. Dolphin Island is a truly special place not just because of its natural beauty but because of the wonderful people that work there. Dawn was gracious attended to our needs and most importantly allowed us to make the island our home away from home. The staff worked to accommodate whatever we needed and in all reality we didn’t need much. The Island and the people really made our honeymoon special, and we can only help to return again someday! "
