My girlfriend and I spent 4 nights at Dolphin Crest and we both were concerned after seeing the negative reviews for this place. We were greeted by friendly staff and given a tour of the venue. We were then shown to our room which was quite large. Our shower did not have hot water on the first evening but arrangements... More

After reading the negitive reviews about Dolphin Crest my partner and I decided to go see this place and what a suprise it was. I few people mentioned that it was run down, the service was bad and the food even worse, but when we got there the place was fine, actually beautiful, the ladies at the guesthouse were friendly...

I had a Daddy's Deals voucher purchased for myself and my Fiance for our combined birthdays for Dolphin Crest. I just so happened to Google the B&B and came across this website with all of these negative reviews. Needless to say I was very hesitant to spend a night there and emailed the owner expressing my concerns. Linda replied and... More

If you spend one rand on this place you're wasting money. Upon arrival we where greeted by the most uninviting staff members. After she struggled to find our reservation, odd as we where the only guests, we where shown to our quarters and where told upon opening the door that the TV doesn't work. We asked how we where meant... More

It is of concern that Trip Advisor do not execute any form of quality control control when allowing an establishment to utilise the Trip advisor logo which one then associates the establishment as having some sor tof status. Other than the location which is ideal this establishment is a run down dirty unclean shocking acility. The sheets are dirty and... More

Took 8 days to confirm our booking. Arrived to find dirty sheets, used soap in the shower, no bedside lights, bathroom lights weren't working at all, room door didn't lock, etc, etc, etc. Staff were disinterested. Couldn't get hold of the owner. Absolutely appalled. Such a pity because the location and property has such potential. Avoid at all costs.

We had to naturally find alternative accommodation for the clients and have lost the monies paid to Dolphin Crest. I will update should we every receive the refund... More

Firstly I agree with every word each traveller suggested, but at the same time I would encourage people to visit this venue as renovation are in process and a lot has changed. My wife and I stayed over in February and I can personally say it's a beautiful place to visit to soak up the sun and enjoy the accommodation... More

We arrived to “Dolphin Crest” just before Christmas, the intention was to stay six days. Unfortunately we had to leave after just one night! My family and I, altogether 7 people from Sweden, found the pictures on the Internet very attractive and planned to spend the Christmas there, our first time in South Africa. Compared to the pictures we were... More

We bought a groupon voucher for a 3 night stay. This was the longest 3 nights ever. The roof was leaking all the way from the 3rd floor to reception area. There is water all over and smelly carpets everywhere on the stairs, which may result in injuries. You could hear water dripping while trying to sleep..and the passage smelled.... More
