I posted a quick review a couple of weeks ago about our trip--a combined stay at the CR (North Garden Wing) and the Dolphin. For some reason, I felt a compelling need to post another rave review on that same stay at the Dolphin.
We arrived at the Dolphin on Monday, May 27 (Memorial Day) around lunchtime. I didn't expect the room to be ready because of the holiday, but to my surprise it was. We were blocked in room 6084, with a great view of the resort and of the ToT and Mickey's big hat at MGM. We also had a balcony, too
Since we have stayed at the S/D several times, we skipped bell services and just carried our stuff upstairs. The crib was set up when we got in the room, a metal one with a great bumper pad.....very safe. there is even a safety checklist to make sure that all is in order. our room was spotless as well. The room was large enough for the 5 of us, even with the crib.
Housekeeping was fantastic, as always. Our room was always clean when we got back for our afternoon break and seemed to be finished with the entire floor, we never heard them while trying to take naps I never saw a single room service tray in the hall this trip.....
The pool area was in good shape--one of the areas is being rehabbed, but the further away we got from the workers, we didn't even hear notice. The grotto pool was a crisp 75 degrees, the other pool areas had water temps around 80. We stopped to get a pizza from Tubbi's....also great.
I can't rave enough about the Dolphin--we love the boardwalk area so much. I can't imagine staying anywhere else, except he Swan, LOLOL. The past 2 trips we stayed at the Swan on club level-I did miss seeing Mama T this trip--I never got a chance to take Anna (our 8 month old I was pregnant with our last trip) over to show her off.....maybe next trip
We stayed 4 nights, and was billed correctly on our Visa. I pre-paid the room balance and that wasn't a problem. I also asked to have the resort fee removed and was cheerfully told that it would be fine to do so--she removed it at check-in.
We'll be back next month!
