“Nice spot for the price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 12, 2013

Travis makes you feel like home in this small but cozy inn at Ft. Myers Beach.
Rooms need upgrade badly but the bay view one bedroom apartments are spacious and fully equipped. Very good location at walking distance to the beach and short drives to Times Square.

“Rooms are very spacious and clean!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 9, 2013

Our room had a king bed and queen and twin on porch, large living and dining room and full kitchen. Travis was wonderful and I would stay at The Dolphin Inn again. Walking distance to Villa Santani Plaza for food and fun.

“Very nice for the price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 3, 2013

This was our 4th visit on this hotel and there is very likely to be 5th and 6th ones too. Ok, so the hotel isn't in the heat of Ft. Myers Beach so if you want action, you might want to get a hotel near the pier. But the beach is only 100 yards away from the hotel. The beach is huge, wide, long and just white powdery sand as far as you can see. We've seen dolphins swim near the beach at least 15 times. There's usually 2–3 dolphins that swim along the beach from south to north.

Ok the hotel. The owner is originally from Germany and is very nice and funny too. Rooms are big enough and for a little extra you'll get bigger rooms. I suggest you spend a bit more to your accomodation to get a bigger room than their standard room is. Parking is free of course and with a car you'll get anywhere fast enough.

A good hotel for the money.

“Great Spot”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 14, 2013

What a wonderful location in Ft. Myers Beach. Travis and Lynn were very helpful. We enjoyed watching the sun rise outside our room overlooking the Canal. Took a short stroll that evening to enjoy the sunset overlooking the gulf. Loved the super large warm pool. Visit was way to short. Can't wait to go back to spend more time. Nice that they offer bike rentals as this would definitely be the best way to get around town.

“Good Location with Easy Accommodation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

Looking over a small harbour, this was a pleasant spacious apartment for four. Easy parking, good warm pool and 50 yards from the beach. Reasonable kitchen facilities, comfortable if a little worn furniture and a great shower. Excellent family value... recommended.

Room Tip: Upper rooms have better view
