Jack was fantastic! We had booked a restaurant and ask Jack what he thought and he advised another that was awesome. The second night as well. The beds were super comfortable. We were worried about not having ac, but that was not a problem at all. Loved our stay!

A wonderful place to stay

I only stayed one night but the staff was friendly, and the room was comfortable and clean. The Blue Dalphin Inn is incredibly close to the ocean, so I was able to enjoy walking and watching the sun set.

We loved the ambience of the hotel and the fact that all rooms have some ocean view. The staff are very attentive. We enjoyed the breakfast options that are served in bag so they an be taken to the beach or on a picnic.
