My stay at Dolphin View Cabanas was absolutely fantastic! Drifting off to sleep with the soothing sound of the ocean and the calming crash of the waves at night was incredibly therapeutic. Nestled right by the beach in a peaceful area, it's perfect for fitness enthusiasts, offering breathtaking morning and evening jogs with a stunning view of the sunrise/ sunset over the ocean. I had a blast with the electric scooters and bicycles available for hire, exploring the picturesque routes. The room cleanliness exceeded my expectations (which is a huge plus for me). The amenities are conveniently located, and the staff at the resort are not only friendly but also extremely efficient. This company truly lives up to its moto "Making extraordinary holidays a standard." I would enthusiastically recommend this place to anyone seeking an unforgettable holiday experience.…

We spent a wonderful long weekend in a well equipped 1 bedroom unit. The unit was clean, bright and modern with a partial sea view from the large balcony. Just across the road from the beach and a little walk from the swimming area and tidal pool this resort couldn't be better situated. The monkeys are a bit of a problem so windows and doors have to be watched but on the other hand they do provide lots of entertainment. There are bicycles and umbrellas for hire, a play area for children, a laundry and a swimming pool.

We had a lovely week stay in a "northerly" facing 1 bed apartment quite high up in the building. Our view was "up the coast" with a partial view of the sea.Recently refurbished. There could be a little more cooking utensils, pots and pan. The monkeys are a problem we had 2 visit us in the flat looking for food even managed to open sliding doors that was not completely closed while we were in the bedroom.

We had a lovely 4 day stay in a "northerly" facing 1 bed apartment quite high up in the building. Our view was "up the coast" with a partial sea view which was great, and very easy access across a fairly quiet coastal road to the beach ! There were several pubs/restaurants about 100m away and a well stocked SPAR nearby if required. The room was very bright and sunny with a modern design and fittings. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend with my overall score being 8.5/10
