Disappointed stay.
Booked weekend stay with my wife. The room is dated with stained smelly burnt holes carpetmust be as old as the hotel The decor is ancient, the furniture looks like 80's second hand bought. The bathroom id not disabled friendly, shower head spouts water in different direction but on the bather, had lukewarm water in the shower for 2 days. Outside stairs to rooms are not disable friendly, rails on one side only hotel needs a twentieth century overall, has the potential to become one of the best resorts in Cape Town.

This hotel has a beautiful view of table mountain and is set up so everybody can see it, and it is right on the beach.it is a 20 min drive to the waterfront in cape town for shopping and eating, The hotel restaurant blow fish is really good our waitress was very good.. On the downside there were daily power cuts during our visit, due to world wide circumstances,which you can't blame the hotel for, but this property has massive potential for both its own solar panels or a wind turbine combined with electricty storage, this would make this hotel, immune to power cuts, more eco friendly and more profitable, ... surely a no brainer

Check in was business like and prompt, not very friendly at all. Rooms need a lot of maintenance, carpets fraying, shower drain was blocked. Rooms are spacious though. Not the experience I expected based on images advertised.

Dolphin Beach review
We had a wonderful stay at Dolphin Beach Hotel over Christmas and New Year. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. The Blow Fish Restaurant which is on the hotel complex is great with fresh fish every day. the bar staff were also excellent and introduced us to several new cocktails. The Beach Cabana accommodation was spacious and provided direct access to the sand dunes and beach The hotel gardens were immaculately kept It would be useful to hire a vehicle as the closest other shops and restaurants are approximately 1km away. The larger shopping center is also approximatley 1km away but it is difficult to access by foot due to a busy dual carriageway. Due to the season it was difficult to find taxis for short distances although Uber was available The hotel location is excellent for Kite Surfing, access to the wine region and central Cape Town was a 30-60 minute drive

The property is perfectly located. Could not be better. Disappointed with check-in although I must add that when I expressed my dissatisfaction, the manager immediate put matters right. I had booked a room based on the pictures on Expedia. It was called a sea view apartment and the pictures clearly show a bedroom and a separate living room, but when we checked-in there was no separate living room, but just the bedroom. I was then given a cabana with a separate living room and an extra bedroom. The pictures on Expedia perfectly matched the cabana, right down to the view and the furniture. The sea view apartment should be relabeled sea view room.
