We go to Little Palm every year for its wonderful brunch. This year we decided to stay at a Little Palm property, i.e. Dolphin Marine. It was absolutely the worst place I have every stayed. We stayed in Dolphin #3 I think. The door was broken and needed paint. The tiles were cracked. The bathroom was a joke. The fire... More

If you are looking for location and not amenities, this might be the place for you. Little Torch Key and the lower keys is quiet and beautiful. It has good food, fishing, great beaches and no chain hotels. We decided to travel at the last minute so we did not have much choice of cottages. The folks running the Dolphin... More

Do not stay here. We arrived at 5.00pm to a empty office with just a key in a brown envelope stuck to the door. We let ourselves in to the upstairs apartment which was straight out of the 70s and didn't look as if had been touched since. There was no water in the bathroom and the toilet was leaking... More

I have become a big fan of Dolphin Marina & Cottages for a few reasons. First of all - value. If you book online the cost works out too about $110 per night, depending on which unit you stay in. The staff - Jen and Jan at the office - are friendly and helpful. And the location is great, close... More

We used Dolphin Marina & Cottages as our base to explore the Keys for 4 days. It offers simple accommodation, and keeps your costs down. Don't expect anything fancy; it's simple, basic and a bit rough. But you won't be tipping a bellman or valet. The location is good - about midway down the lower Keys. It is very close... More

This stop was a true disappointment. If you have kids DO NOT stay here ever! This a working marina, with an active boat ramp do NOT stay in any of the Hibiscus rooms. The room we stayed in was the size of my closet 10x15. The marina/hotel office closes at 5pm sharp! We arrived at 4:45, received our keys shown... More

We were traveling with our soldier, and his wife while in leave, along with our other son and his gf. The unit that was reserved for us was in terrible condition. When we got there, we were told the toilet was not working, but would be fixed. NOT! Then, we set up the beds, to find one was broken, and... More

We only stayed 2 nights but had a great time...the location is awesome and the people who work there are so nice. The room we stayed in was clean but very old. The beds squeaked and weren't too comfy. But the convenience of the marina, the gorgeous view, and the adorable man-made beach made up for it. Close enough to... More
