The hotel is very centrally located. It does have its own restaurants, but there’s many nearby within walking distance. The beach bar is nice and less expensive than most beach bars. It was a good experience.

Cozy little hotel among expensive high rises. Clean, updated, large TV, mini fridge and microwave. Private beach & pool with lots of chairs. Room service from the 3 restaurants on site & next door. Only 5 minute walk to Parlor Donuts & coffee or The Taco Bus!! Wonderful sunsets away from the hustle & traffic of the city beach.

The Dolphin is an older hotel with a private beach area. The hotel is not fancy but is clean, well maintained, has a good restaurant, 8ft pool with pool/beach side service. I have stayed here twice and will probably come again.

The rooms were very clean definitely get a room with a ocean view. Just make sure you keep the door closed when your sitting on the balcony or just hanging in the room their rules. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They have their own private beach and you can rent umbrellas and chairs for 20$ for the whole day. They had a nice outdoor pool and a couple of very nice restaurants on site. We would definitely stay there again when visiting the Clearwater Beach ⛱️ area.
