Top Dolphin Research Center Hotel Reviews

Hawks Cay Resort

8/10 Good

"The village we were assigned has roaches and the main bedroom has the pain from the felling peeling which could be a hazard. Also, the water park that was supposed to be completed on September has a delay and that was the main reason a reserve this hotel."

Rainbow Bend Resort

8/10 Good

"The place is clean, and quaint. The staff is very helpful. Unfortunately, the sargassum was still pretty bad so the water was murky and smelled horrible. The pool was closed for maintenance, but we were allowed to use their Sister property. Breakfast was great!"

Oceanfront 5BR | Pool, Beach & Atlantic Views

10/10 Excellent

"The house was great for a"

MILLION DOLLAR VIEW very private 4 bedroom resort with pool, pier, kayaks, spa

10/10 Excellent

"We just wrapped up a magical week at this amazing property! We were fortunate to have all four of kids and a son in law with us. The pier is incredible! 285’ into the Gulf! We saw a manatee, several tarpon, and two types of sharks. We also caught snapper, grunt, barracuda and more with cut bait. The pool was immaculate and the house doesn’t disappoint in any way. Plenty of cookware, dishes, and utensils for us to stock up and use the fully equipped kitchen. Great week at a great place!"

Brand New Oceanfront 5BR - Luxury Stay w/ Elevator & Boat Slip Included

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best properties I ever rented."

The Nautilus on the Ocean in Grassy Key 4 bed 3 bath with private pool, Hot Tub and oceanfront, 2 kayaks included

8/10 Good

"Overall, the house was great for our family of 6 adults and 1 toddler. I think the inside of the house was exactly as pictured and very nice. The outside, however, I would not rave about. Something unspecified in the listing and unknown to us newcomers is that the Florida Keys’ beaches fill with sargassum (a sulfur smelling seaweed) in the summer months. Anytime we went outside, we would nearly throw up from the smell. I messaged the host about this and was told there are sometimes community efforts to clean it but nothing would be done. Also, the pool looked dirty but it was just where the paint had rubbed off on the frequently used parts. If you are looking for a house to stay in, I think the house is great and incredibly nice! If you’re wanting to stay here in summer months to soak in the beachfront part of the house, I don’t think I could completely recommend it."
