Dolphin or Swan

Really depends what you like, I would read the s/d thread's and then decide. The dolphin has dbl beds, 1 bathroom sink & is larger, busier, and more spread out, but also has more resturants, & tubbi's. The swan is a little quietier, small lobby, queen beds, 2 bathroom sinks, more adult themed (IMHO) of the two. They share transportation, pools, resturants, etc.. and are just a quick short walk from one to the next. They are "sister" resorts.

Which one to stay at?

We went with the Dolphin because the food court(Tubbi's) and the gym(Body By Jake) are in the Dolphin.
 
Having stayed at both, I prefer the Dolphin over the Swan because it is more convenient to my family's needs (Tubbi's, Dolphin Fountain, laundry, etc.) I like simply riding the elevator and escalator down, vs. walking across the courtyard from the Swan, not that I'm lazy or anything, it's just a personal preference!

I do like the bathroom set-up at the Swan better, but there's just something about the Dolphin that wins me over!
 

Are you traveling with kids? I think the Dolphin is the more kid-appealing hotel, and the Swan has a more elegant, grown-up feel. Both are very nice.
 
It depends on your preferences, of course. You didnt say what your a looking for in a resort.

I would stay at the Dolphin the next time because of the food services there. Also the laundry is located in the Dolphin.
There is much more activity than at the Swan.

One night we were stuck at the Swan while there was a huge thunder storm. We hadn't eaten and as far as i'm concerned I wasn't walking the distance from the Swan to the Dolphin in a thunder storm. That was one night I really wished we had stayed at the Dolphin.
