Feb 02, 2025Flipper would be offended
The Marriott Dolphin & Swan properties are architectural monstrosities with an exterior color scheme that marries an unappealing shade of terra cotta with turquoise. I was asked at check-in whether I wanted daily housekeeping service. I acknowledged "yes" but it never showed up once during a 3 night stay. I requested a balcony room and was provided a room in the "west" tower (a significant trek from the bank of elevators). Overlooking the man made pond that separates the Dolphin & Swan resorts, I quickly learned that the reason no one every actually uses these balconies was that the hotel ventilation system is discharged in this area. So, every time you open the slider to access your balcony, you experience a 24/7 decibel level of the ventilation system that is akin to an idling jet engine. You quickly retreat back into your room. I was attending a conference which provided a weird juxtaposition of hundreds of men in suits in the lobby bar with children running around in pool wear. Food offerings were mediocre. Rosa mexicano served me an overcooked vegetarian omelette and a soggy quesadilla on separate occasions. My swordfish at Blue Zoo was "fishy". The grab-and-go option, Fuel, is a life-saver for in-room snacks (& alcoholic beverages) but the ham croissant sandwich and cheese pizza were barely edible. I haven't been in Orlando/Disney since I was a kid. I hope there's more to recommend this city than the Dolphin.

Jan 31, 2025Great location
A beautiful hotel in a great lactation being round the back of both Epcot and Hollywood Studios. It is also very close to the boardwalk which is a really nice place to visit and it’s in walking distance to the mini golf too which I think is so fun. The transport from the hotel is especially excellent with boats, buses, Ubers easily ordered to the door, and walking distance to 2 parks and the skyliner! The decor in the lobby of the hotel is great and the shopping and food facilities are amazing! I like the fact that there are multiple pools - I got up early at 7am/8am most days and enjoyed the pools to myself! I think the rooms are a little dated and we had to move rooms on the first night due to the air con not working! When checking out, you pay the resort fee which really does add up over your stay so that put a bit of a damper view on the hotel but for the proximity to the parks and the ease of travelling around, I would recommend.

Jan 20, 2025Engaging....
This review is for a visit, rather than a stay. While experiencing the water transport from Epcot to Hollywood Studios; we stopped here to explore the facility's interesting architecture, well-kept grounds, themed landscaping and seasonal decorations. The complex is well-maintained and nicely conceived. The resort's location, convenient to the Boardwalk and two Parks; makes for an engaging interlude, in one's traversing this section of the Disney bubble.

Another good experience at the Dolphin
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Disney World and our stay at the Dolphin Resort. The location of this resort couldn't be better. It is walking distance to The Boardwalk (restaurants and entertainment), EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios. If walking is a challenge, boat service is provided right outside that takes you to both of those parks. For other parks, bus service is provided. The only caveat here is that the bus service is slightly different than other Disney resort properties. While it has most of the same amenities, the drop off and pick up locations may vary slightly from the locations of the other resorts. That said, if you are planning to rope drop Magic Kingdom, it is important to know that once you arrive, you still need to take the ferry or the Monorail to get to the park entrance. Transportations from other resorts drop you off closer to the main entrance and the additional step is not needed. Not a huge deal, but plan accordingly. We cheated and walked next door to the Yacht Club resort and took their bus to the Magic Kingdom and it worked well, just a little extra walking. The hotel itself is plenty nice, easy to get around, and has the typical amenities you'd expect. As a lifetime platinum Marriott member, you don't really get any extra perks, but you're there to enjoy Disney, not the hotel, right?

Perfect stay during a great holiday. Soured by the ridiculous Resort fee...
stayed while on a family holiday at Christmas time. Arrived & parking was slightly complicated but we worked it out in the end. Checked in a reasonable time & quickly up to our rooms. They also made the extra effort to make our rooms close together! The room we had (5057) was well kept & clean. Also included 4 bottles of water which were replaced everyday, great service. Transport is also easy to access for Hollywood studios & epcot or they are just a short walk away! Pool facilities are also superb but they did close the slide earlier then advertised every time we was down. Only two small things is to watch the floors, they seem very uneven & caused our party to trip a few times. Also the resort fee is a joke, paying for stuff you will never use! Overall, a perfect stay.
