The room we stayed in was very dated and original. It is in need of a renovation which a lot of the other units have had. Will be staying at Dolphin heads again but definately nog in this unit unless it is renovated.

I love staying here but the mattresses in the rooms need replacing on my last night there i woke up at 4am and decide to leave after a restless sleep due to the uncomfy mattress. We had dinner at the restaurant, ive dined her before but the food wasnt good. The vegetables were so full of water it left a bit of a swamp on the plate. The crumbed steak had been keep fried and the steak bowed and excess oil was collected in the centre. Not sure what happened to the cook as the meals prior were fine. We were also the only people in the restaurant. We ordered garlic bread and one single piece come out with our mains but once we recieved the mains there didnt seem like much love was put into it for the price. Wifi would be a good addition to the rooms. I love staying here i hope they invest in decent mattresses and wifi and maybe look into getting someone else in the kitchen. They view is beautiful but guests need to feel rested. This review isnt meant to be harsh i really love the place and it has so much potential.

Despite receiving an email stating that the bar and restaurant were open until 8pm, arrived at 6.30pm to find both closed and no body at reception. Very disappointed after a long drive to have to then go in search of an evening meal. A text had been sent advising that the key would be in our room door, which it was. Room as advertised, with a great view, however despite being no smoking it appears this does not extend to the balconies and meant we needed to keep the door closed to avoid the smell.

Excellent ocean front property, lovely rooms. The only drawback was lack of facility to obtain food or drink. The bar was closed. The signage at the front access entrance is deceiving as the actual “Dolphin Sands’ name is not advertised, it is signposted as a different name altogether. Apparently this is currently being rectified. Will definitely stay again. Amazing location.

Location and view from room was excellent! It felt like a Pacific Island however this afternoon is no “resort”. Rooms only serviced on the 7th day so if you wanted a fresh towel you had to pay $10. There was no top up of soap or tea and coffee. The pool was great but there is no holiday resort atmosphere. It felt dead and neglected. Many rooms have permanent residents or are privately rented. No extra activities for kids or gym. Breakfast served on weekends from 8.00. Rooms are average quite roomy but looking tired. Bed was comfy. I thought the’resort’ in total felt a bit dead.

The toilet seat was not secure although it was fixed after 3 days, the bed had sagged in the middle as it probably had been used for too many romantic weekends and the floor was covered in dust

I was extremely disappointed in this property. The reception staff were very welcoming and the grounds and outlook were lovely but the room itself was abysmal. The door handle and lock to the room were old and rusty and we could hardly open the door. The bathroom needed a good clean, the toilet was stained and the tiles in the shower were grubby as was the screen door. The shower leaked water all over the floor and the toilet seat was loose. The bathroom door wouldn’t close properly. The covered chairs to sit on in the main area were filthy so we had to sit on the bed to watch television. The bed itself was okay and the sheets and cover were clean. We had to wash our breakfast dishes- the sink provided was the same one as in the vanity in the bathroom. There was to be a $40.00 fine if we didn’t do this but no detergent or tea towel was provided! We also had to empty our bins. I guess a lot of people only rinse their dishes. Our stay was only one night so we didn’t ask to have another room. At approximately $170 a night we didn’t expect luxury accommodation but we did expect a clean bathroom! Very poor.
