Okay, I tried posting this 3 times and it wouldn't go through. Let me try it again!
This was our 4th time staying at the Dolphin and it did not disappoint!
We were in a 2 BR Executive Suite this time, our first time trying a suite. We had rooms 9005, 9007 and 9009. Housekeeping was impeccable as always!
The spigot in the shower in what I called the master bathroom wouldn't work so I simply informed the front desk as we were leaving one morning. (it wasn't an immediate concern since we had 2 other showers to use!) Upon returning that afternoon there was a message waiting on our phone and we were informed that as part of the Starwood Service Promise (or something like that) since the shower had to be fixed (and was by the time we got back that afternoon) we were being offered 500 Starwood points, a $15 credit towards our room charges or a box of chocolates. I had to put it on speaker phone and had her repeat the choices so my family could listen and my boys said "candy, we want the candy!" It was a pretty gold box of different shaped and filled chocolates. (simple pleasures for simple minds I always say)
We were disappointed to find out the Dolphin Fountain is closed for renovations. In the past we would often stop by for a quick snack or ice cream upon return from the parks. No problem though, we indulged in quite a few Haagen-Daz Dulce De Leche ice cream bars from Tubbi's!
The new Mandara Spa looks heavenly! They offer everything from hair cuts and colors to facials, massages, and manicures/pedicures. One thing that peaked my interest is the Mandara Ritual ~ Nirvana Bliss for A Day~ a 5 hour and 30 minute session that is described as: Surrender to your own oasis with the Exotic Frangipani Body Nourish Wrap, Aroma Stone Therapy, Pro-Collagen Marine Facial, Blow Dry, Spa Manicure and Spa Pedicure.
Here are the views we had:
