We chose the property because it was dog friendly and boy... we were not disappointed. Not only did they provide our furry family member treats, they also provided a directory of dog friendly restaurants, sights and services. Additionally, central and convenient location.Highly recommend!

Love this hotel, we’ve stayed here many times. This time I brought my dog and wasn’t charged an extra fee like you usually do at other places so that’s really nice. Right next to the beautiful ocean cliffs and by all the restaurants it’s in the perfect location. The manager was very nice!

Very helpful staff. Quite clean, but a little noisy. Tub has no bar to hold onto or any traction under foot. so it is a bit treacherous showering. When washing your feet it becomes very slippery. The facility is very close to an excellent deli and a good seafood restaurant (walking distance)

The Emerald Dolphin is less than a mile from the coast. Convenient to town and many great local restaurants. Be sure to dine at David's just south of there. The only negative was the room was a bit noisy at times as the road nearby was Ocean View Drive and led to an awesome ocean overlook and sunsets. Book through the resort and you get a free round of miniature golf on their own rugged water feature 18-hole course. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.

We had a lovely one night stay in this property. The room was large, spotless, the bed was excellent comfortable (and huge with loads of pillows!), the facilities were well keep and had some nice touches (lots of toiletries, a fridge, a good coffee machine with tea etc., lots of clean soft towels, great hot shower), the internet was good (good signal and fast) and staff where friendly, compitent and helpful. Only a slight deduction of one star for traffic occasionally being noisy and no microwave in the room (but there's is one at reception). Everything else was perfect! We would highly recommend and stay again!

Another comfortable stay.
Had another comfortable stay at the Emerald Dolphin Motel. The facilities are your typical Motel set up with doors directly to the outside. The room was super clean, the bed was comfortable and the location is close to restaurants and markets. The only thing I didn't like is the use of "cheap candle smelling" air freshener. The last time I stayed it didn't smell like that. Maybe this room needed it for some reason.
