We wanted a more expensive and more luxurious hotel for our last nights. That's why we choose Dolphin Beach. When we came, we didn't get any time to land. The manager was in a rush and it was not comfortable. We had an amazing room, a 'tentalow' but everything was a little bit wet. At the website was written we would get a fridge, a watercooker, coffee and a bathrobe. None of them was there. The food was cold, and the taste was not worth the price. We liked the staff at the restaurant tho, they were really kind and did the best they could. It was such a lovely and beautiful place but when you pay that much, you expect more than that we get. ##### Kiki Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Luxury Hotels in Mont-Tremblant](https://www.expedia.ca/Mont-Tremblant-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d55374-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Comfort Inn Trenton](https://www.expedia.ca/Belleville-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Trenton.h15844.Hotel-Information) > > [Victoria Marriott Inner Harbour](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Victoria-Marriott-Inner-Harbour.h1054406.Hotel-Information) > > [Overlander Mountain Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Jasper-East-Hotels-Overlander-Mountain-Lodge.h3605168.Hotel-Information) > > [Resorts Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Resort-Hotels.d178294-aaResortHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Eastport](https://www.expedia.ca/Eastport-Hotels.d3000451556.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hermitage Hotel Prague](https://www.expedia.ca/Prague-Hotels-Hermitage-Hotel-Prague.h2434356.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Vancouver Metrotown](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Hilton-Vancouver-Metrotown.h433661.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Waters Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels-Blue-Waters-Resort-Spa.h695516.Hotel-Information) > > [Topas Ecolodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Sa-Pa-Hotels-Topas-Ecolodge.h2922248.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Denver Downtown by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Denver-Downtown.h2787.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Thompson](https://www.expedia.ca/Thompson-Hotels.d4087.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Beach Hotel in Portugal](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Portugal-Beach-Hotel.0-0-d147-tBeachHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) ### Flights > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Portland (PWM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/pwm/montreal-to-portland) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yyz/edmonton-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Portland (PDX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/pdx/toronto-to-portland) > > [Flair Airlines Abbotsford (YXX) to Calgary (YYC) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/flair-airlines-from-abbotsford-intl-to-calgary-intl/f8/yxx/yyc) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Nagoya (NGO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/ngo/montreal-to-nagoya) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yvr/calgary-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Cassidy (YCD) to Masset (ZMT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ycd/zmt/nanaimo-to-masset) > > [Flights from Delhi (DEL) to Brisbane (BNE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/del/bne/delhi-to-brisbane) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Ocala (OCF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ocf/toronto-to-ocala) > > [Flights from Abbotsford (YXX) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxx/yyz/abbotsford-to-toronto) ### Packages > [Türkiye Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Turkiye.d183.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/117/Mexico) > > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations) ### General > [Visit Saint-Simeon](https://www.expedia.ca/Saint-Simeon.dx6269323)
