We have stayed every year at the Blue Dolphin for several years and never disappointed, we have stayed in every room/cottage they have and its always amazing, we wont stay anywhere else on the Island!! Looking forward to being there again this June 2012. Reed Brown More

This was our first visit to Sanibel and we stayed in Blue Dolphin solely based on Trip Advisor reviews/ratings. We could not have been happier. It is small, beautiful, comfortable, and well-maintained in a tropical paradise-like setting. Quiet beach right at the door step with unbelievably lots of shelling; excellent sunset views, in the quietest part of the Island. The... More

Last week we had our second stay at the Blue Dolphin. Fair warning: once you stay there, you will want to go back again and again. We are already talking about our next trip there! You are treated as family. The place is very clean, very peaceful. Breakfast is served every day, and there are always some homemade goodies. If... More

Hard to beat weekend on Sanibel Island - we live 2 hours from Sanibel and have visited there many times - but this was our first time at the Blue Dolphin. We had such an enjoyable time while we were there, I scheduled another weekend in October before we left. We did not want for anything while we were there.... More

We stayed for four glorious days at the Blue Dolphin in early April, and we loved this place. There was a nice mix of families and couples of all ages, and it was very quiet and peaceful. The beach is the main attraction and it is spectacular. As for the amenities -- I can't say it any better than JudyJupiter... More

We arrived 3 hours later than we thought due to a flight delay, but upon calling to advise them of this, we were greeted with a very friendly voice and Beth put our frustration aside and made us even more anxious to reach our destination. We arrived and felt the stress from the day leave our bodies immediately. The cottages... More

The personal service, the well managed facility, the quiet environment and the physical beauty of the property all make this a wonderful vacation spot, No charge for bikes, a continental breakfast, lemonade and cookies in the afternoon all contribute to the experience. There are only a few units so the Dolphin is hard to book with most people returning each... More

For some people, this is the very best place on Sanibel. Every good thing you read in the other reviews, believe it. A few tiny cottages steps away from an excellent shelling beach. Everything is clean and tropical. So I am going to talk about the things you might not like, not that there's anything wrong, but my idea of... More

Blue Dolphin is a great get-away-from-it-all place. It's very quiet, a beautiful setting, newly renovated bathrooms and kitchenettes, and is right on the beach in a peaceful residential neighborhood. All the units are close to the water, but the units with Gulf view are probably worth the extra cost. Although Blue Dolphin has free cruiser bikes, you almost certainly need... More
