Amazing

10.0

We had an amazing time at Dolphin Bay Hideaway. We were able to kayak among the dolphins, which was an unforgettable experience. Brian took us to see the most beautiful wildlife in the jungle. We were very well looked after throughout our stay, and the food and drinks were delicious. We truly enjoyed every moment and would highly recommend staying here.

Lugar exclusivo y excepcional

10.0

Brian y todo su equipo fue maravilloso. La comida es deliciosa y se sirve en una mesa compartida con todos los huéspedes. Entorno excepcional donde se puede ver naturaleza y gran diversidad de animales. Delfines, luciérnagas, bioluminiscencia... Gracias por todo! 😊

One of the best places I've ever stayed.

10.0

The accommodation and location are wonderful. Brian and the staff are really helpful, hospitable and kind. They make sure you have a great time. The food is delicious and the view is the best. The fact that you can watch dolphins from the balcony made this place even more wonderful for me. I highly recommend it.

Nothing.

Away from it all

10.0

Brian, the owner, is a wonderful person and a great host. He made sure we saw the sloths, frogs, and dolphins. He got out paddle boards and canoes for everyone's use, and organized for us to go snorkeling and to Zapatilla. Loved the shared dinner table and listening to other people from around the world's adventures. Food was the best.

Although we knew ahead of time, the heat at night was uncomfortable. However, the jungle noises were soothing just a couple feet away.
