Check in experience was great , the girls at reception were really lovely .
we were upgraded to a 3 bedroom cabin , due to works being completed on the cabin we had booked , the location is perfect and although we’ve never stayed here in winter before the park was busy enough to hold the holiday atmosphere.
My kids are young adults and enjoyed the mini golf and games room .

It has been many years since we visited Blue Dolphin and let’s just say upon arrival our jaws dropped! The size of the park is huge, a pleatherer of activities for the kids to do. There was no shortage of pools either. The jumping pillow is always a crowd pleaser but the games room I loved, it was a shame the pin pall machine wasn’t working as usual parents love a good pin ball game. The climbing rock wall, kids club, movie night, mini golf, the activities just don’t stop.
The best part for us parents was the food truck! OMG, to not have to cook was amazing.
The coffee and hot chocolate from the top bar was delicious every time.

The swim up bar for the adults A*
We will most definitely be returning again.

Great resort for families. We loved the pools, the multiple areas for kids to play in, the free kids club and the trivia but the cabins need attention. At night, multiple cockroaches would come play in the kitchen and roach droppings would be present on the bench, stove, sink etc in the morning..!

I was disappointed with my experience at this resort. After a long day of travelling, I arrived on time for check-in, only to be left waiting 2 hours past the scheduled check-in time. After finally gaining access to the room, we were left with no electricity. There was no clear communication, no meaningful apology, and no sense of urgency to resolve the issue.

When you book accommodation, the minimum expectation is that your room will be ready on time with electricity, unfortunately that wasn’t the case here. The delay caused unnecessary inconvenience and set a negative tone for the first few days of the stay.

The day after sending a couple of emails to management expressing my concerns and requesting compensation, I was compensated appropriately for the inconvenience.

I hope the resort improves its organisation and customer service so future guests aren’t left waiting around like I was.

This park is aimed at families on longer stays and I was only staying 1 night to break up a long drive but I was pleasantly surprised. Upon arrival the pool area was full and my cabin was near a bike track and the main road but it was very quiet at night. I only booked a basic cabin but it was perfect for an overnight stay and very clean and modern. The park has lots of facilities for families on longer stays.

Villa needs updating. Overall an OK stay.

We stayed at the 2xbedroom villa for 3 nights. The villa needs updating. It desperately needs new pillows. There were sands on our beds and bathrooms we got in. For the amount of money per night i thought it could have been nicer.

First time to Yamba and Blue Dolphin Resort, was such a wonderful family holiday and there was so much to do for the kids and also together as a family. Really thought the 3 bedroom Villa we had in the pool with the 2 slides was so lovely and kids lived the slides! Beautiful location right on the river, we went for big walk along the water into the main Yamba street was a beautiful walk. And the pool bar Happy hour was amazing fir us adults, great cocktails and slushies for the kids. We also really enjoyed the mini Putt Putt there too and we just loved our 3 night star and will definitely be back. 🤗
