Place was very clean and spacious. Had everything you could possibly need. Pitty it wasnt warner to use the pool but fell asleep listening to the water fountain. Heating was very useful and large fridge is always a bonus. Felt like a second home. Only minor gripe if you can call it that. Softer pillows as an option is always a huge plus. Everyone needs to sleep, not everyone likes hard pillows but i still gave full marks on everything because it still deserved it. Price was excellent. The free dvds at the counter is a very thoughtful idea. Thank everyone involved.

OK for a short break
The apartments contained the basics which all worked. The AC arrangements could be better by using a floor standing fan to direct cool air into the main bedroom as there is only one conditioner the living room.There was a hob in the kitchenette but no oven. The fridge was very goodas was the microwave. The kitchen was important as there are not many food places nearby esp. on Sundays.

Loved our stay at Dolphin Waters. Beautiful spot, lots of walking options in the area. Close to some good restaurants. Quiet location, good value for money with friendly helpful staff.

This is about our 5th or 6th visit to Dolphin Waters and they always greet us with a welcoming smile. The only reason we would stay anywhere else in Tin Can Bay would be if Dolphin Waters was fully booked. It has a relaxed atmosphere and is close enough to walk to the dolphin feeding in the mornings- another of my favorite things to do in Tin Can Bay

The price was reasonable and the unit had a great view of the water.Some furniture and decor was worn. Bath washers weren't provided. There was a mirrir in the bathroom but the only other was behind the main bedroom door. This was inconvenient when 3 people were getting ready to go out.

Comfortable stay with so much to do
The kitchenwares and tableware are clean and good conditions. Beds are comfortable. But the ac and dishwasher need to be upgraded to do their jobs properly. Check in and out are both easy by keys drop boxes. There is nothing can’t be complain about location at all. Waterfront and bikeways are just across the road. Dolphins feeding, supermarket and playgrounds all locate within 5 mins drive. We are happy about the stays overall
