We stayed at the Dolphin Cove Inn 4/17-4/24. This was our first trip to this area of Mexico and after reviewing the comments from this forum, we were looking forward to this new experience. Since this was my wife's birthday trip, we wanted something that was beautiful and memorable. The pictures from the various forum reviews capture the essense of... more

OK... so it's not a 4 or 5 star resort, but it is a great place to stay. My wife and I stayed for 8 days in February at the Dolphin Cove Inn and had a very romantic and relaxing excape from life. We have been to Mexico many times to many cities. Manzanillo is the most laid back of... more

If you need some time to decompress and relax then I can wholeheartedly recommend the Dolphin Cove Inn. My wife and I just spent four days and three nights there. Even though we live in Manzanillo full-time, we still needed a decompression weekend. Our stay here was just what the doctor ordered. The accommodations are wonderful. We stayed in the... more

What a great spot! We stayed for a week. The staff upgraded our room to a suite with beautiful views, very clean and fun space with large outside terrace. There were 150 (at least) steps from the room to the pool and about 20 or 30 more to the beach, so it really is not a place for those who... more

We only stayed a few days at this beautiful place, but are thinking we really need to return! Our photos say it all: beautiful place, unparalleled view, but watch out if stairs might be an issue for you. Another note: the concierge and other staff in the lobby are outstanding in their courtesy and willingness to help. Absolutely work with... more

I've been going to Manzanillo since my childhood since it is one of the more tranquil albeit moderately developed parts of the Mexican Pacific coast. It is very popular with Mexican, Canadian, and European tourists. I like the fact that it is not as developed as Acapulco nor as touristy as Puerto Vallarta. You're able to interact with the locals... more

Wowza! My boyfriend booked us a couple of nights here right before xmas and before we took off on our camping/surfing trip down the coast. The photos dont even do the place justice :) The people at the check in were friendly and dealt with our lack of Spanish speaking like champs. They showed us to our room by way... more

You will simply not find a better view! We were in Building 8, as recommended by a very helpful Oscar on the Dolphin's toll free from the US number. Breakfast was great, everyone was extremely nice & friendly. I can't wait to come back. This place is one of those rare finds... more

We where attracted to this Inn by their well done website and lack of bad revues, Overall this was a nice place, but be warned, there are alot of stairs, 100 plus from the malacon along the water, especialy if staying in one of the units higher up the hill, and when it's 90 degrees plus its even worse, especialy... more
