Swan Or Dolphin

[rickers353]

Family is going May, 2014.
I've looked into all combos imaginable of where to stay for 6 people, have decided 2 rooms are the best way to go instead of a villa.

Just wondering what the pros and cons would be staying at the Swan or Dolphin ?

Will be traviling with DW, DMIL, 2DS (16 and 13), and Nephew (14).

Thanks.

Pros at the Swan: smaller, quieter resort (may or may not be a pro to everyone), queen beds, shorter walk to the bus stop and Boardwalk
Pros at the Dolphin: laundry facilities, slightly closer to the Grotto Pool, more dining spots including Picabu which is open 24 hours, closer to Cabana Pool Bar

I'm sure others will chime in with more. I slightly prefer the Swan, but would stay at whichever resort cost less.

I agree with patty57's assessment. We stayed in Swan for the queen beds. We did use the eateries at the Dolphin and we think the pool really belongs to the Dolphin since it's right at that hotel and a bit of a walk for Swan stayers.
