If you are looking for an intimate hotel with personal service, don't stay at the Dolphin. We stayed for one night at the Dolphin, a gigantic hotel which shares grounds with another gigantic hotel, the Swan. The Dolphin is more like a city than a hotel. There was a large line at the reception every time I looked. There were... more

Spent a few nights here last February. Too cold to enjoy pool and spent most of the last night dealing with jet blue problems, but the location was perfect. One annoying thing was the business center was located in the Dolphin which was a little but of a walk from the Swan. Again, not terribly far but b/c I had... more

Despite being locals with regular access to Disney World through our annual passes, we try to stay in one of the resorts each year as a little bit of a bonus for our kids. We’ve stayed in everything, from deluxe resorts to the budget variety, and just try to mix it up from year to year. This time around we... more

The swan and dolphin were great hotels!! I stayed at the swan, so my review will be about the swan. Before I even got in to the hotel, I liked it. The fountain is pretty and the hotel looks abstract. When I got to my room, it was beautiful and clean. The service was great. The hotel had many restaurants,... more

Location: Walking to EPCOT and Hollywood studios is perfectly pleasant even with small children. If you can walk around the parks all day you can easily walk to these two parks. Food: The fountain is OK for an expensive sandwich. Service is a little overextended, but they try. The kids meals are nice and came with awesome fresh strawberries (which... more

Like so many others, the bad reviews almost scared me from changing our 8 day trip from the Swan to a Disney-owned hotel. I am so glad we didn't! We stayed at the Swan from 8/10-8/18, and loved it. We have two boys, 9 and 10, and they couldn't have enjoyed it more. We arrived at 12:30, long before check-in... more

I have stayed at the dolphin many time and every time we stay we always end up staying a few extra days because it so had to leave. We use to stay at disney boardwalk but once we stayed at the dolphin we got hooked! They have the best kids club in Orlando. My son goes every night when we... more

My husband and I travelled with my parents to Disneyworld in August 2010. We had previously stayed at the Carribean Beach resort and Port Orleans - French Quarter but chose the Swan hotel for a change of scenery. We were very happy with our selection. We received connecting rooms at no additional charge and my parents received a feather-free room... more

Recently returned from a stay at the Orlando Dolphin. Location to Disney parks was excellent. Loved the ferry to Epcot. Stayed on 9th floor. Reported leaky air conditioner upon check-in. AC issue caused wet, smelly carpet. Maintenance never resolved the problem and we had to put up with it our entire stay. I was concerned about germs and mold with... more
