What guests think

The Dolphin Apartments earns strong praise for its spacious, well-equipped apartments and a convenient setting across from the beach and a short walk to shops and dining, with many guests also commending the friendly, accommodating managers.

Views can be mixed, as a petrol station in front partially blocks ocean outlooks from some units. While cleanliness is often rated highly, a few guests noted lapses and occasional maintenance issues like a faulty dishwasher or running toilet. Overall, expect comfortable apartment-style stays in a beachside, walkable location.

Great location directly opposite the beach but unfortunately view is of the petrol station. Fitness centre is a 7 minute walk away not on-site. Apartment was comfortable and clean, apart from the random sock left under the coffee table. Kitchen well equipped but unfortunately the dishwasher was not working

Close to beach and park. Close to take away and dine-in restaurant. Friendly staff. They even provided an extension cord to charge the car over night for free. So I would come back to this place if we decided to stay around that area again.

The didnt like's: Tight corner to access 'overflow parking', when there should not have been any overflow. This mostly caused by lack of signed allocation to appartment numbers. For those who enjoy fresh air IN the appartment 24/7 or less (myself included) this isnt the place for you. No fly-wire doors and NO fly-screens on windows...Needs to be addressed

As other people have reviewed a very clean apartment with all that we needed and handy for the local shops and garage in front meant no searching for petrol. We were on the top floor penthouse so we could see the sea.

Freundlicher Empfang und Service. Wir hatten als Paar ein großes Appartement mit 2 Schlafzimmern - was Anderes war nicht mehr frei - und fanden die Ausstattung gut und zweckmäßig. Waschmaschine, kleine Spülmaschine, alles da. Das TV Angebot funktionierte nicht, habe das aber auch nicht gemeldet denn es war uns nicht wichtig. Sehr störend empfanden wir die mangelnde Sauberkeit. Der Fluesenboden klebte noch vom "Mal eben nur kurz drüberwischeb". Wir haben als allererstes geputzt und auch den Teppich mit dem zum Glück vorhandenen Staubsauger abgesaugt - da kam vor allem aus den Ecken ordentlich Staub.

Location is good with many food options and a supermarket within a 5 minute walk. The bed is very comfortable and big. The cleanliness can be improved though.

The apartment was lovely and clean. It was a very good size and had excellent amenities. The only thing that disappointed us was it appeared the rooms all had a view from the advertising but ours was at the bottom with a staff workroom in front of it. No view at all or balcony.

Professioneller, freundlicher Empfang. Das Apartement befand sich im 1. OG. Es war sehr sauber, großzügig geschnitten, 2 Bäder (davon eines ohne Toilette), 1 Toilette separat, Balkon, Küchenzeile. Schöne Handtücher, bequeme Betten. Die Aussicht aufs Meer - naja, über ein Tankstellendach hinweg hatte man den Ausblick. Störte uns aber nicht weiter. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind fussläufig zu erreichen. Wir haben 2 x im "Brewhouse" gegessen ( ca 10 Min Fussweg) was recht gut war. Wir empfehlen diese Unterkunft gerne weiter.

I had an enjoyable and very comfortable stay here with my daughter in July 2024. 2 bedroom apartment very spacious with a quality feel. The apartment was well cleaned (e.g. behind doors, in corners), presentable and comfortable. Appliances and furniture were good. The furniture was solid, good, and comfortable. The site is convenient to shops and beach. An easy review and recommendation.

The four of us loved our stay at the Dolphin Apartments! The penthouse hotel room/apartment hybrid was clean and spacious, and the balcony had a nice view of the ocean. The kitchen had all the amenities to make some home cooked meals. Contactless check in after staffed hours was easy. We would definitely come back!
