it's not a DLP hotel, but last Aug. our 2 families of 12 persons stayed at two 2Br Marriott Vacation Club villas very close to DLP--it was awesome--one of the best places we have ever stayed. Look it up--the units are adorable. You can easily catch the local bus right outside of the resort (which is really just a bunch of vacationers riding to DLP) for 1.5 euros 2-3 times an hr that drops off right at DLP--takes 10 minutes. Or, you can pay 4 euros PP to ride the M shuttle every hour. The M shuttle is free coming from DLP back to M, so we bused it to DLP and rode M shuttle back each time. There is also a small store at the M with basic items and food, wine, fresh bread, croissants, etc. Among our finds there: great sorbet, frozen escargot, salmon quiche--and they have chicken nuggets! You can also walk to an cute french resort village (15 minutes--very safe, lovely walk) with a small grocer, butcher, etc. I can't say how much our entire family LOVED this resort. They also have 3BR units. good luck! Elaine (from DC also)
