Dolphin view home away from home
This was our second stay @ Dolphin view cabanas, it was very enjoyable for all. Hotel was clean and staff were friendly and helpful. Self-catering apartment was well organised. Only issue was the children's play area, most of the games didn't work. The local beach is fantastic away from the hustle and bustle. Very non-commercial area, exactly what we were looking for.

The room was large and well supplied. The major drawback was the Air Conditioning unit did not work, blew hot humid air and the front desk closed just after we checked in so there was no one to contact about moving rooms.
The location is great and the security handled very well. The bed was nice and the kitchen well outfitted.

Good place - but wifi a problem
I spent eight days here, and overall it is very nice, perfect for the beach and the local restaurants. The one issue is the wifi, which never worked in my time. It needs to be completely overhauled. Otherwise regular visits to the nearby cafe are necessary!

I had clothing stolen from my room. I reported it to reception and to this date no one has contacted me with any feedback. No apology or anything. I enjoyed Dolphin View but this lack of communication left me feeling that they don't really care.
