This park is aimed at families on longer stays and I was only staying 1 night to break up a long drive but I was pleasantly surprised. Upon arrival the pool area was full and my cabin was near a bike track and the main road but it was very quiet at night. I only booked a basic cabin but it was perfect for an overnight stay and very clean and modern. The park has lots of facilities for families on longer stays.

First time to Yamba and Blue Dolphin Resort, was such a wonderful family holiday and there was so much to do for the kids and also together as a family. Really thought the 3 bedroom Villa we had in the pool with the 2 slides was so lovely and kids lived the slides! Beautiful location right on the river, we went for big walk along the water into the main Yamba street was a beautiful walk. And the pool bar Happy hour was amazing fir us adults, great cocktails and slushies for the kids. We also really enjoyed the mini Putt Putt there too and we just loved our 3 night star and will definitely be back. 🤗

I absolutely loved and enjoyed my stay at the blue dolphin. What the resort offers for families is amazing. Plenty of extra activities to keep the kids away from electronics and outdoors. I’ll definitely be back in the near future with my family.! Things I didn’t like was the closure of the pool area early. As my kids wanted to swim a little bit later. Thanks

Lovely holiday park by the water, even saw pelican! Stayed in a one bedroom unit which was very warm, clean, new, fresh, and comfortable. It was like being at home because it had everything; bathroom, full kitchen, living room… I had the best sleep, it was so comforting and warm. Would recommend this place to everyone!

I was disappointed with my experience at this resort. After a long day of travelling, I arrived on time for check-in, only to be left waiting 2 hours past the scheduled check-in time. After finally gaining access to the room, we were left with no electricity. There was no clear communication, no meaningful apology, and no sense of urgency to resolve the issue. When you book accommodation, the minimum expectation is that your room will be ready on time with electricity, unfortunately that wasn’t the case here. The delay caused unnecessary inconvenience and set a negative tone for the first few days of the stay. The day after sending a couple of emails to management expressing my concerns and requesting compensation, I was compensated appropriately for the inconvenience. I hope the resort improves its organisation and customer service so future guests aren’t left waiting around like I was.
