Rip off
Pros:

The fire dance was nice and the staff who did that were friendly

Cons:

This is a 2 star resort claiming to be a 4 star resort and charging 5 star prices. It’s dirty, cheap, there isn’t much to do on the island, the food is not nice, the room is very basic (no fridge, no tv, no bin, unclean), a lot of the staff and all of the dogs aren’t friendly, there is trash all over the beach and around the hotel. This is by far the most overcharged I’ve ever been

Pros:

L'hôtel est situé sur une île proche de la côte.
Il faut environ 10 minutes de bateau pour arriver. Il y avait assez peu de clients à notre arrivée.La plage est très belle, il y a de nombreux singes et chiens autour de l'hôtel. La nourriture est excellente et le personnel très sympathique et efficace.

Cons:

Presque rien.L'hôtel est en travaux ce qui produit un peu de désordre, mais rien de grave. Les chiens sont très discrets et gentils mais si vous avez peur des animaux cet hôtel n'est pas pour vous.

非常美丽的小岛，很不错的宾馆。还有意外惊喜的近距离观察长鼻猴群
Pros:

从kk过来大约90公里，公路交通便利。宾馆会安排船到码头免费接送，船程十分钟。岛上自然环境优美，丛林茂盛，海滩很漂亮，海水清沙质细，宾馆提供免费各种水上娱乐设备，可以尽情玩海。宾馆周围栖息着很多猕猴，它们经常来院子里活动，非常可爱。如果运气好的话还可以看到长鼻猴，数量很多至少20只以上。我们这次有辛用相机拍到了很多长鼻猴，它们天生胆小，最好用长焦镜头远距离拍摄。在码头附近还可以海钓，几个小时就钓了七八条鱼，宾馆厨房现做了晚上的加餐。老板一家很热情，各种服务安排的很周到，离别时还一起合影留念。

Cons:

如果能增加一些娱乐活动就更好了。譬如，环岛徒步探险。在尽量不打扰猴群的前提下，寻找拍摄长鼻猴之类的活动

A week in paradise❤️
Pros:

We spent there a wonderful week. The beach, the food, cosiness all felt like paradise. We chose it for diving and were more than delighted. The staff and the owner were friendly, helpful and warmhearted. We are recommending Dolphin Bay for everyone, especially for ones who needs deep rest in paradise.
PS. There were plenty of dogs that were very friendly and sweet.

Cons:

The wildlife(jungle) is very close by so be prepared and take repelents.

We enjoyed staying in this quirky resort but it needs some work to be a luxury resort.
Pros:

The food was very good. The location was great. The staff were friendly.

Cons:

Because the resort used to cater for much larger numbers of guests, there is a lot of unused accommodation which is now in poor condition, and there are lots of'dead' boats pulled up on the shore. This creates a bad impression.

The staff need more thorough training in working in a luxury resort. I got up early in the morning and when I came down i especially didn't like all the cigarette ends on the communal verandah which I believe were left by staff sitting up chatting late at night.

There was no briefing when we arrived on activities. No welcome drink etc.
