Top Dolphin Research Center Hotel Reviews

Hawks Cay Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Rainbow Bend Resort

8/10 Good

"I booked Rainbow Bend resort because it met the three requirements I was looking for: a small, oceanfront resort with a kitchen in-room. For those desires, it was a perfect fit! Unfortunately, the kayaks weren’t available when we wanted to use them because no staff was available to help us. And when the staff was in office the next 2 days, the water was too rough. The pool & hot tub were also unavailable one day (due to maintenance) when we were hoping to using them. The staff was difficult to find when we needed help, and weren’t always the best face for the resort when we did interact. Chef Freda and the Hideaway Cafe were a definite (and surprising) highlight!"

Grassy Flats Resort & Beach Club

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is always excellent from amenities to service to cuisine. The land and sea market is fantastic for a meal and anything you need for your room. From excellent wines to fruit, cheese to their black grouper fish sandwich. everythis is wonderful. Excellent on site restaurant the Rhum House, fishing charters, Hotel is owner managed. bongos up the street for cable water skiing, outdoor music food..it is just a WIN all the way around."

Luxury Oceanfront Retreat w/ Private Beach & Pool

4/10 Poor

"The house and pool were great. The check in and communication was 100%. I booked this trip for my high school graduate, as him and my family of 8 love the beach. The house is absolutely wonderful and the landscaping is spot on. The only (and biggest) issue we had was the beach area. The beach was not remotely usable. I actually sank up to my knee in the seagrass buildup on the bank. We ended up cutting our trip short so I could take my family to a beach. Full disclosure, we have vacationed in the Destin are for the past 7 years and expected this property to have the same or better beach than we're used to. The day we arrived, I actually wanted to head back home, solely due to the beach area. We tried to make the best out of our 13 hour drive and stuck it out most of the week. In summary, house, pool, and communication was spot on. If you're looking to vacation exclusively for the beach, this is not the rental for you"

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

10/10 Excellent

"The property is exactly as advertised - very private with a million dollar view. The approach to the property breathtaking and grounds were beautiful. The house was clean, the kitchen well stocked, the appliances and grill first rate, and the sheets on the beds excellent quality. The hosts, Roman and Karen, were responsive. And, there was something for each member of the family - from college age to grandparent to do or just relax on the porch and enjoy the view."
