My family and I had an incredible time at Dolphin Beach Resort. The tents offered a unique and cozy experience right on the beach, and we enjoyed the stunning views. The manager and staff, especially Maduka, were super attentive, making our stay even more pleasant. The diverse and tasty food truly stood out. However, I would have loved to have a small refrigerator in the tent for our drinks. Overall, it was a fantastic resort for a relaxing holiday.
