The room was very clean and quiet. Our room had a city view, and even after midnight on New Year's Eve, our room was quiet. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We slept well every night. The mattress was excellent...better than what we have at home. If you're looking for ecomony and quality, Dolphin Sands is the best choice on the beach. I would highly recommend Dolphin Sands.
