Top Dolphin Research Center Hotel Reviews

Rainbow Bend Resort

4/10 Poor

"Our first time to the Keys. This place was nice enough but we are water people and love fishing and being in the ocean. However, the beach area at this place was very brown and had a ton of seaweed. So going in the water in this area was not an option. Room was very very small and we like to have a closet and and a desk, this place didn't have that at all in the room. Pool looked really nice but we didn't get a chance to use it."

Hawks Cay Resort

8/10 Good

"This is really neat and a unique find. The dinner at salt and ash we had was amazing! We were upgraded to a villa and it was decent but the downstairs bathroom was locked and it needed some better cleaning in the bathrooms upstairs and towel racks!!! It wasn’t horrible, but not the best…. I didn’t like also that we couldn’t use cash on property and when we upgraded we had to then take a golf cart back and forth to the main building and we never could get singles or $5s to tip the golf cart drivers. A few of them had Zelle so we tipped that way or couldn’t at all :/ The Asian tiki hut had great sushi! Also the pools and lagoon were nice! And the coffee shop and chia pudding was good! Dolphins are not on property right now -apparently they’re getting new ownership for the dolphin area. I would come back:)"

Grassy Flats Resort & Beach Club

10/10 Excellent

"The property is beautiful and tucked away from the main strip. Quiet resort, clean rooms, beautiful sauna and beach area. The seaweed was bad this year and so it smelled terribly, but that's all on mother nature. Rooms were very clean and comfortable, dog friendly, overall a great experience. Plenty of food options on property and happy hour during the day. No bell service which is why I took off a star... the elevator was out when we were leaving so had to haul suitcases down 3 flights of stairs which was not fun."

Village at Hawks Cay Villas by KeysCaribbean

10/10 Excellent

"Villa was clean and well-supplied. Location, location, location was PERFECT! 3rd party booking sent check-in email to them rather than me but one short phone call and check-in information was sent within 5 minutes. Looking forward to staying here again."
