We stayed at the Dolphin Motel for 2 nights during our honeymoon and we loved it. The room was small but clean. Who stays in the room the whole day? The banana-nut muffins in the morning were lovely and the coffee was tasty too. Staff was helpful and the owner like your best friend! We would definitely stay there again.... more
