This property is a massive hotel within the gates to Disney. It is an explosion of pink and green. The Valet and Check-In staff awesome, and very friendly. The Valet remember me the whole stay. The room itself was a joke. The bed was broken down, and the linens are tattered. Due to my status, I was upgraded. After seeing... More

I really like the location of this resort since the boats outside can take you to Epcot the studios quickly. On this last trip, however, the pool area needed cleaning as I slipped and fell, injuring my foot, in a puddle full of mildew. (I found another similar puddle nearby)I brought this attention to a staff person who said they... More

We stayed at the Dolphin May 3 - 13, 2013. Hotel staff excellent. Great location, very quick boat ride to Epcot, Boardwalk, and Hollywood Studios. Longer ride to Magic Kingdom on bus, but not bad at all. The hotel is not a Disney themed hotel, but my kids that are 4 and 2, still had a fun time at the... More

Great room! Heavenly beds, better than most hotel rooms. The staff where attentive. We loved being able to walk to Disney's Boardwalk and tge putt-putt. Downside... we wern't there for Disney but always caught in traffic. It looks like downtown disney is very popular. Otherwise a great stay.

Book this hotel if you're after a fantastic location on Disney property with fab transport links but can't justify the cost of Boardwalk or Yacht & Beach Club. Do know that the experience is Sheraton, not Disney.

We stayed at the Dolphin November 30th - December 8th 2012 I should have known better before booking that just because they have close access to Disney and have some benefits of Disney but are not a Disney property that it would be a let down and it was. We made our choice based on the fact that it's more... More

I stayed there at the end of March 2013. I was more than disappointed. The hallways smell like a dirty old apartment building. There were tiny pieces of broken glass in our hallway the entire stay. On our first night we needed a extra blanket we asked for it at 8:30 at night. It took three phone calls to the... More

Stayed at dolphin resort 3 nights for a business trip. The hotel is OK but the room is bit of outdated. The price is high compared to other Orlando resorts, which may be just due to the location (within Disney World). Free transportation to all Disney parks. Self-parking is expensive ($15/night). The staff were friendly and my housekeeper was very... More

Very nice place to stay. We were there for a convention and they did an excellent job handling 6000 convention goers. My only complaint was the coat of resort food. It was not the five dinning that was out of line. It was the convenience store costs for a bottle of water or a simple burrito. Having the Swan near... More

I stayed at the Swan half of the Swan Dolphin for a business conference in April. If you are traveling with a family, you may prefer to stay at the Swan since the main conference center is actually housed at the Dolphin and there will be plenty of business travelers without children at the Dolphin, sitting in the lobby, taking...
