Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Dolphin Bay Beach Resort, right on Sam Roi Yot beach, is known for being family-friendly, boasting kid-friendly facilities like a pool with a slide, a kids' park, and even a kids' room with toys. The spacious rooms, some interconnected, feature amenities like Smart TVs, while the restaurant provides a variety of options and coconuts and gummy bear ice cream that kids love; keep in mind that a few guests have mentioned the beach cleanliness could be improved.

The staff was very helpful, especially the reception team. I found the atmosphere quite relaxed. The breakfast choice included many options. The proximity to the beach was a great plus.

My three-bedroom unit had a balcony but lacked slippers. The water pressure was very weak. Sometimes, the hot water ran out. This made showers difficult at times.
