Beautiful area and beach. Seems like every room either has a view of the pool or ocean with the sunset. No wifi, no cleaner, and not perfectly clean so loses points. Otherwise everything you need, in a beautiful location.

Amazing staff, location and food!!! The room was a bit of a let down; The bathroom in particular wasnt very clean and very dated. The kids bunk was pretty worn and rough, Also the aircon/heater didnt turn on (LED just flashed). Would happily stay again but the bathroom in particular could use some more attention when being cleaned and I hope some renovations/updates are in the cards soon. Also special mention to the staff, They were amazing, Very friendly and helpful!

We got a upgrade to a ground floor room with ocean frontage. Absolutely stoked. The beach & ocean view from the front of the propery was first class.

My partner and I stayed in a newly renovated room, which was gorgeous, and very comfortable. Our view was probably the least exciting, but that wasn't very important to us. We had several family members in other rooms, however, with gorgeous views right out onto the beachfront.

Room was very tied, leaking basin taps , leaking shower , the electrical panel outside the room had a 75db sound coming from it in our room, it lasted from 9pm to 4:30am the staff could do nothing to help , was the worst night in a hotel we have ever had , the restaurant and meal was ok

We enjoyed our short stay at Dolphin Heads Resort. The pool was amazing, the restaurant menu was extensive, food was delicious, the grounds were nice and everything within the resort is close by. Yes, the rooms are aging but we knew this before arrival. The room still had everything we needed and was clean. The beach infront of DH is all rocks but Eimeo Beach was just a few mins drive away and was stunning. It had a coffee/food van every week day, lifeguards, toilet facilities, shady areas and a park. If I am to make a suggestion to Dolphin Heads, it would be to add some more seats around the pool.

Liked! Views are Amazing, pool is Beautiful, but could have alot mor seating or sunbeds! Rooms are comfortable! Dislikes! No Breakfast, poor management or not enough staff at restaurant/ bar, server mould smell entering my room & bathroom vent was overloaded with dust so ventilation fan didn't work! Cheap appliances, need more activities, shops walking distance!

There was nobody to greet us at all since we arrived after 4pm. When we called we were told that our room was left unlocked and to go on in. The bathroom smelled of sewer. The beds were very uncomfortable and we suspect there were bedbugs. We also had a cockroach visitor. It appeared that there had been an attempt to clean the place but it is very run down and needs a lot of work.

Brilliant bar and dinner service, receptionist(female) friendly and tried to bechelpfull. Didnt get room booked with QS bed and couch instead just QS bed with stuff from previous occupent still in cupboard and freezer. Balcony furniture very flaky, opening the balcony difficult due to missing bearings , room requires decent cleaning. No access to beach but decent pool with just 4 lounges. And on departure day whilst getting ready electricity was switched off without warning...and no one cared. A run down joint.

Hotel pool and surrounds were fantastic! Restaurant served excellence food at a very reasonable price. Rooms were old and in desperate need of updating, i have doubts theyd even been cleaned as the floor was filthy! AC didnt work which is very poor for Mackay and hard to find anyone at reception to have this rectified. Overall ok but AC is a must!! Ro

Love the pool facilities, quiet. Little bit of a cruise ship feeling with the bar and restuarant near the pool. Rooms were not well maintained. The main light wasn’t working, soaps and shampoos not filled or not working. Absolutely no room service, not even fresh towels. Guess I shouldn’t complain considering the price.

The property is very outdated and needs some tlc. There are permanents living in the resort which made it feel untidy. We couldn’t keep our door open as the people beside us were smoking in their outdoor area. The only thing it has going for it is the stunning sunset over the water and mountains. Our kids loved the pool.

My family and i stay at dolphin heads quiet often as we find it a very beautiful place, the staff are amazing, food is great everytime, the grounds are beautiful and well maintained. It was just the room we stayed in this last visit wasn't what we were expecting. It smelt very bad of mould then in the door frame my 1 and a half year old was running his fingers in mould. The room smelt very bad it was very unpleasant. There was dust all over the walls. The cutlery still had dry old food on the forks. When we got out of the shower our feet were dirty from floor's. Its definitely not a room for a family with little one's. We will be back it was very unfortunate with the level of cleaning that needs to be done in the room i felt let down cause every stay has always been amazing.
