Kallie
If you're looking for a vintage-vibe, this is definitely the place to stay. '50s style motel off the main drag. Quiet location. The front desk staff were incredibly welcoming, sweet, and attentive during check-in and check-out. The evening maintenance employee was helpful but didn't relocate us when we showed him our door didn't seal tightly at the bottom. The bar/restaurant looked fun, but we didn't visit it. With some major renovations/upgrades, this place could be so hot! Maintain the vintage feel, but with fresh windows/doors and linens. We stayed one night and the room provided us exactly what we needed at an affordable price.
Thad
my second time there and it was another great stay.
Jacquelyn
Great location
scott
Our favorite stay cation. At least once a year. All the staff especially Kiki at the bar, was so friendly and fun. Julie too. Love the live music at night.
Nickie
Disappointed that the Tiki Bar closed early. Can’t rate the staff. Never saw anyone. Picked up and dropped off my key via a lockbox since they don’t have regular lobby hours like most hotels. Room was clean. Shower clean. Sinks were clean. Micro-sized TV. Bed was uncomfortable. AC wasn’t on in the room so it was hot and stuffy but it did quickly cool down on the lowest setting. Room smelled like mildew and cleaner. Quiet area. Pool area looked nice. speaking honestly, I would not book again.
Jessica
The woman upfront is amazing. The room had stains on sheets and pillows. It was so loud at night time nowhere does it say that on the evenings it will be super loud they should give you a heads up. I ended up reserving a hotel and paying for two nights and I did not stay even one..
Greg
It was convenient
james
one of my favorite places... tiki bar, live music, staff, food and drink... and walkable to many locations
Edward
We arrived at 5:30 pm and they were closed!
A guy that came from a short distance opened a lockbox and gave us our room key- for upstairs! I said that my wife was on a cane and couldn’t climb stairs, (no elevator- at a resort!) but he kind of blew me off. It took nearly half an hour to get my wife up the stairs. The lighting was bad in room as well. I had nothing from my Reservation or arrival paperwork to tell me when checkout was so I just figured it was 11 am.

Tammy at the front desk was awesome. Talked to her about late arrival, she walked through the process and everything went smoothly. Will stay again when in Cape Coral.
Isabel
Amazing stay!
Bruce
We had a nice time here. We enjoyed the pool ant the Tiki Hut
Lauren
Nice place ! Awesome bar ! Will stay again !
Michelle
The place is beautiful and very convenient to where we needed to go. The live music was very good at the Tiki bar on the property, and it was nice that the music done by 10pm. The owner was very friendly and sweet. The filtered water machine in the lobby was much appreciated. The room was clean and nice. The pool was nice and we used it a lot.

Great place!
john
The staff at Tiki Hut weren’t overly friendly, they would just converse withe regulars and basically not guests. Ariel was friendly to me! Isn’t that how you make tips , with conversations with all patrons
John
I enjoyed having a bar and grill on the property. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. The woman from housekeeping was awesome
Richard
Older motel but clean, friendly staff, nice pool and great Tiki Bar.
Gillian
We enjoyed our 2-night stay. It was nice to have a pool, bar and restaurant. Both ladies at reception were very helpful and lovely. Added bonus was meeting the hotel doggy in the lobby
Artyom
The tiki bar was great, specially after working day, and the staff were very friendly.
anna
It’s was a comfy place with a private beach vibe
Nicole
Great casual getaway offering all the amenities you need for a relaxing destination.
Leah
Had an amazing stay! Loved the Tiki restaurant on the property!
Melisa
We agreed it was great for the price point and would return. We enjoyed the pool, bar and drinks and my fiancé also had breakfast one morning which he said was good. If you are visiting Cape Coral, the area can’t be beat for other restaurants and shopping. It is also convenient to Fort Myers Beach.
JEFFREY
Easy to load/unload from vehicle to room since parking is adjacent to rooms. Pool was great as was the live band at the on-site huge Tiki bar! Always a great experience at Dolphin Key resort!
Mark Leslie
I’m not sure how this can be called a resort in any way. It’s an old motel, updated, and the only positive amenity is a decent locals bar on the property (although there’s plenty of bars nearby). The room was fair sized but with little storage for clothing. Four pigeon holes attached to the wall and a small rack with four hangers. The bathroom is small, plumbing dated, towels are dollar store quality. Staff was civil, not really pleasant, and wasn’t around much. We just went into the closet behind the desk and got our own pool towels. The pool was basically the same as any other motel pool, nothing fancy or resort-like. Housekeeping was effectively non-existent. It consisted of dropping off around the same number of towels we used, a roll of toilet paper, emptying the tiny trash cans, and leaving a tip envelope. We made our own bed, put away the towels, and wiped the floor with wet, used towels. Expedia states there’s a gym; there is not. I was told somebody “took all the stuff out,” bet there is a room. We received a knock on the door one morning to ask us to move our rental vehicle because they were resurfacing the parking lot in front of our door. Our vehicle was already blocked in by cones and string and our room reeked of asphalt for two days. It seems like this probably wasn’t an impulse project and we could’ve been placed on the second floor and/or had some warningi looked at ot other reviews and found they’ve all been downgraded recently.
John
I love the cost, the tiki bar, the location to everything. Only thing missing is a microwave to reheat left overs.
Barry
The tiki bar was a great place to eat and drink while sitting pool side and night life fun. Rooms are badic but clean and fresh. Staff is Outstanding.
Pamela
At first glance, the Dolphin Key resort seemed Iike an old-time motel that had been updated a bit. Two floors of rooms on the perimeter, surrounding a nice pool area, with a tiki bar on the long side of the pool. There was a slight odd, but not bad, odor in the room, and I wondered what we were getting into. But, once we unpacked and settled in, we found the shower was great, the bed was comfortable, and everything we needed was there...lots of nice touches, plenty of towels, extra toilet paper, 2 wastebasket, maps and reading material, blackout curtains, cube storage shelves, you name it. Our only complaint was the mini-fridge was kind of loud,but once we unplugged it, it was great! We enjoyed the delicious food and drinks at the tiki bar the next day. The lady checking us in was friendly and helpful. We would 100% stay there again!
Cindy
We had such an awesome time and a special thanks to Jules the bartender and Tammy at the front desk. Only negative mention is maybe a refresh around the exterior
Jason
Great
Susan
Very good
Diane
When I first arrived, they left a key in a box for me to obtain because the lobby closes at 5pm. I arrived to my room and there was a terrible smell, the bathroom shower had mold on the shower device and the pillows were stained with saliva (yellow circles on them). I called management. They stated \"they have a cleaner room for me\" and \"they must of overlooked this room\" The next room was cleaner however the beds are old and you sink in the middle of them and the property room cleanliness is just adequate. On a better note the staff is kind and the food and drinks at the bar were pretty good. I would only stay here if I was desperate.
Gregory
Great breakfast!
murray
Great live music
Drew
Very clean room welcoming staff bar and bartenders were great. Overall great stay
Heather
Friendly staff. AJ was very helpful! The room was clean and comfortable. Beautiful pool area. Enjoyed the Tiki Bar. Great food, fun atmosphere and good service!
Dave
Tiki Bar is awesome and great staff. Good food and nightly entertainment. Rooms adequate for an older establishment.
debra
The bar and grill next to the pool is very good variety and quality
Valerie
Although the property was older, room clean, bed comfortable, towels and toiletries were good. The staff were very friendly and helpful with local attractions, uber, recommendations for local eats and anything else. The Tiki Hit was a great addition for lost cost meals and live music. Towels are provided for the pool. :)
ANGELA
Clean room. Good deal for the price.
Joseph
The Whole place was great! Hotel, Bar, Menu, Staff, Pool, Great place to stay!!
Brickette
We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the room!! Tiki bar very cool!! We would definitely recommend it and would come back!! Food from the restaurant was really good and loved the price!!
Randy
Love this place
Patty
No soda or vending machines. All beverages purchased at the Tiki Hut Lounge, other than tap water, which tasted like chlorine. No ice machines, however, the room refrigerator was cold enough to freeze water, so we made our own ice in the fridge (freezer was small). Entrance to the room, from the hall was elevated so potentially could be a tripping hazard. A bit of a learning curve on the shower apparatus, but eventually solved the puzzle.
Lisa
Great Stay!
Christina
Room was old and dirty. Dirty towels left in the bathroom when we checked in. No staff at the front desk most of the time. No toilet paper when we checked in. No daily maid service. Could not even get fresh towels for the next day. Pool had old and rundown chairs. Tiki bar was always packed by the locals, couldn’t even get a drink if the band was playing.
Maureen
Attached Tiki bar staff wonderful. Resort itself was clean, check in/out fast and easy. This is my 5th time staying here. Clean linens everyday unless you put the do not disturb sign out. Highly recommend
Susan
Starting with our arrival, the front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was very clean, plenty of space and had everything we needed. Great overall stay.

Older hotel. Tiki bar had great entertainment. Rooms were clean. Overall decent experience while there.
Only problem is that they tacked on an additional smoking fee of over $200 after we left. Neither me nor my husband have smoked a day in our lives. We attempted to reach out to the hotel for an explanation and they claimed the room \"smelled smokey\" and was \"unusable\" for two days after we checked out even though we again don't smoke and left the hotel in good condition. After some more back and forth between us and the hotel they claim the charge will stay.
Overall I would recommend to avoid this hotel if you want to avoid being hit with additional \"fees\" after leaving. Maybe go for the band, but not for the night.

RICK
Excellent staff!
Kristina Marie
Our room was clean and spacious, the staff was super friendly and helpful. Our flight home was cancelled and they extended our stay to help us out. This place is perfect if you don’t want to rent a car - pool area, tiki bar and restaurant, and a walkable area for coffee or other restaurants. The live music was spot on: a mix of genres to appeal to many ages and tastes. I ran the neighborhoods in the mornings and felt safe. It’s a busy place in the evening and was such a fun time!
Amy
Never seen the gym. Hotel room had very dirty floors. My feet were black and it was reported to staff and they indicated they would steam them and not mop them. Tiki bar is awesome! Bartenders are great especially redhead I believed named Ashley. Pool is really nice and relaxing. I have stayed three times and only have one negative feedback on flooring. We will continue to stay again.
Monty
No ice machine. It was broken. The live music was extremely loud across the property until 10:00. No coffee or water cups. Couldn’t get the room dark.
LISA
The only thing this resort has giing for it is the tiki bar! Its really dated tiny beds and boring at the very least. The staff is indifferent to any request they wouldnt care if you wvr came back! Its in the middle of nowhere. Just a neighborhood! So disappointing!
Paul
Very helpful staff! Walking distance to many restaurants…pro tip, stock up on groceries before arriving.
Karen
Resort was older but clean and adequate. Pool was nice and clean. Music at Tiki was enjoyable. Front desk was welcoming and helpful.
Lisa
I think the photos of the motel were misleading. The attached bar was loud some nights. Cleaning service was spotty
dan
good location
Susan
The room was clean. The pool deck had little bits of tissue paper and debris that did not get removed overnight. The pool deck was not tidied up overnight either, chairs straightened etc.
Nancy
Room was ok. Very loud at night. Staff was friendly but didn’t show up to clean room.
Terri
Yes
steven
Pool is great and the tiki bar is fantastic
Robert
Room was not serviced on second day as staff shoirtage. Floor was not cleaned well before arriving. Good breakfast at the bar
Paul
AJ was awesome! Very friendly and sweet. Nice size room and clean . Pool was also very nice.
Laura
We had a really good time staying at this hotel. There is a pool, restaurant/bar, a couple bikes to borrow, however, if you are looking for the true Resort Vibe that you may be used to, this is not the right place to find it. It is a very casual situation which is fine, but our room, in four days was never cleaned (trash/new towels, etc.) until late in the day right before we left. No bedmaking, taking dirty/wet towels, etc. except when we put them outside and were picked up the at the same time. The room is very minimal; towels are thin but looked clean. We hope to stay here again and enjoyed ourselves but not exactly what we expected.
Joan
Staff super friendly
Tuan
An older property but it had fun perks with a very fun bar on the premises. Staff was very friendly. I would stay here again, it had everything I needed.
james
The bathroom had a bad odor,the sinks were never cleaned and the floor I wiped down with a damp towel and had a dirty towel. Took photos n showed the person at the front desk. She told me she would tell the cleaning staff. She offered me nothing
Stephen
Decent location with lots of restaurants around. The floor could have been cleaner, but things worked out for the most part. The pub on site was convenient, but noisy and took up a lot of parking.
Denise
The TV did not work properly. I couldn't change channels and the remote was not functioning properly. We only had one coffee cup and there was no one on site to retrieve another one. The shower was very confusing and there were no instructions. The beds look like they were from World War ii. I would never stay there again do not recommend.
Scott
Need music by the pool area.
Barbara
Pool area is great. Restaurant attached is a bonus.
Michael
We have stayed at the Dolphin Key Resort every year for years and always been happy. Sadly, things have changed.
First, I stopped in to check in because I knew their office closed early and we had plans off the property. I was told that I could not check in because the room was not ready. I explained that I was not going into the room but we had plans & I was concerned we would not be back in time. She stood firm and stated someone would be there until 10:00pm. I arrived back after 7:00-7:30. At this point there was a gentleman there who was confused because he showed me checked in???? Also, there office closes at 8:00 not 10:00. Thank goodness were back in time
The Maid service basically did not exist . After the 2nd day. We did get towels but nothing was touched.
The lighting in the room is a joke. Two lights on the wall next to bed are horrible. Whenever you touched them, they would fall down. There was a desk lamp on the table not a lamp for actual light. The water pressure and temperature were hit or miss.
There has never been a dresser but there were nightstands with 2 drawers to put some things in. Now it is just two tables no drawer space at all.
Alot of rooms were rented to people in our group. Almost everyone felt the same way. They are obviously cutting corners in every area.
First, I stopped in to check in because I knew their office closed early and we had plans off the property. I was told that I could not check in because the room was not ready. I explained that I was not going into the room but we had plans & I was concerned we would not be back in time. She stood firm and stated someone would be there until 10:00pm. I arrived back after 7:00-7:30. At this point there was a gentleman there who was confused because he showed me checked in???? Also, there office closes at 8:00 not 10:00. Thank goodness were back in time

We've been staying at the Dolphin Key every year for the last several years. Sadly, there is a huge decline in the Hotel. It's obvious they are cutting corners everywhere! The lighting in the rooms is ridiculous. The lamps fall down from the wall if you barely touch them. They even replaced the tabletop lamp with a desk lamp. The water temperature and pressure are hit and miss. There is no drawer space at all in the room. The nightstands have been replaced with cheap tables. We have a big group that goes every year and most of them are going to look for another place next year.

Rooms clean and staff friendly. Rooms need updated but worked well for us.Tiki bar and pool a plus! Restaurant and bars nearby and some in walking distance.

Pool and outdoor Tiki Bar nice. Room was very dated not clean. Upon arrival my bed had no blanket or comforter. That problem was resolved quickly by house cleaning personnel. The bed was very cheap and noisy. The refrigerator very loud everytime the compressor came on. Since I was only staying one evening, I decided to just make it work and enjoy outdoors. In the morning I went to use the shower and had close to no water pressure. At this point, I wanted a shower and to checkout. I basically took a sponge bath and got out of there. I informed the manager on duty of my concerns on checkout and told her a discounted price would be appreciated. She got very rude with me, saying that I already got a great price with Expedia and she could not help me since I did not book direct. I expressed my unhappiness as well. Next, she told me that she would reach out to the owner and call me that afternoon. Of course, that never happened! I would not recommend this place to anyone. I also am surprised that Expedia has this place rated high. It was a miserable night of partial sleep in a dirty, dated hotel for a very high price.

Rooms were clean and vibe was greay

Room was clean but very dated. Bedframe was broke and knocked against the wall each time you got out of it. Mattress was lumpy.
TV was a 24\", really? Who still has that small of a TV?
Bar and pool connected were a good amenity.

Room condition was very clean except for the bathroom area and the floors . Some towels had stains on them. Lukewarm water in the shower. Plumbing fixtures in the shower were rusty. The first towels that were used in the bathroom were medium size towels but when I asked for a new towels they were regular size.. floor was a little gritty. Exhaust fam in the bathroom did not work and there were several fruit were coming from the exhaust fan.
On a good note, the bed was very comfortable. Pillows were comfortable. Bed comforter was very nice. Air conditioning worked well. Pool area was very clean and the pool water was very comfortable to swim in.

Room was nice. Staff was great. But they have bands every night. Gets kinda loud. Especially fri and sat. Play 7 to 10. But i would stay there again. I will be checking on deals for next week year.

Towels were thin and small. We discovered mid-way through our stay, when we requested clean towels, that we had not actually received bath towels at all, only several hand towels. Hair dryer needed to be replaced ... handle got hot, steam coming out, and burning smell. Room smelled musty. Bed was good. TV was tiny! Pool area -- chairs all claimed with towels by 9am. Pulled a chair into the sun, only to have a group of smokers sit next to me. We stayed 3 nights and it was ok, but wouldn't stay here again.

Clean, friendly. I’m a soft bed person so I’m gonna give the beds a 2 star.
