Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Our experience at Dolphin Bay Hideaway cannot be beat. A few highlights. 1. The grounds/lodge. The grounds are beautiful. Very well taken care of without looking too manicured. It was wild beauty. We booked the Island room. It was a good size and came with small organizational areas for luggage and putting items away. The bed was comfortable and had two fans attached to it. There was also a floor fan to point at the bed to help stay cool. We went in February, so it wasn't too hot. The bay is also beautiful. I get seasick easily but could swim in the bay without issue. It's like a saltwater pool. I kayaked out into it with my son without any worry. 2. Meeting other guests. The lodge is small and intimate. Everyone eats together around a large table. You also meet the other guests on occasional excursions. It strikes the perfect balance between privacy and community. On our trip, we met people from Germany, the midwest USA, and NYC. 3. The service. Brian is phenomenal. He's a great host, and strives to make sure that you can have the experience you want. My son loves to fish, and Brian arranged an afternoon outing for my son to experience how the locals do it (trawl fishing). It was different from anything my son had experienced before (we are from the northeast USA so fish primarily with rods). Even though the fish weren't biting for him, our guide caught a few fish, and the novelty of it all led my son to list this fishing excursion as the highlight of the whole trip. If you dislike the sterility hotels and loved the backpacking/hostel community in your youth, but are old enough now to appreciate a nicely appointed room with amenities - Dolphin Bay sits in that intersection. Nice rooms. Beautiful lodge. Beautiful grounds. Beautiful location. Community and warmth.
Negative: A lot of lunches were "out." In the sense that we'd take a boat out to eat. This is not a criticism and more of a lack of knowledge. It's pretty isolated so there's nowhere else to eat if the kitchen isn't open for lunch, and you can't get anywhere without hopping into a motorboat. If we were to revisit, I'd pack some instant ramen for those days when I didn't want to be on a boat and just wanted to sit around the lodge and do nothing. That being said, the places we were taken for lunch were delicious, especially Deja Vu Cafe.
Summary: Would absolutely return!
