The Dessole Dolphin Resort offers a wonderful experience with its clean facilities and exceptional staff. The beach is just a stone's throw away, making it easy to enjoy the sun and sand. The food is varied and delicious, catering to both vegetarians and meat lovers alike. However, there were a few drawbacks, such as the limited wardrobe space in the room and a lack of certain drink options at the bars.

Our stay at the hotel was nothing short of fantastic. The beachfront location made it incredibly easy to enjoy the sun and sea, and the entertainment options kept us engaged throughout our trip. The rooms were well-maintained with daily cleaning, but I found them to be more suited for a 3-star rating than a 4-star. Dining was always a highlight with a great variety of food, though it could have had more options to cater to all tastes. Overall, an excellent place for families, but a few improvements in the rooms would elevate the experience.

I had a fantastic experience at this luxury all-inclusive resort! The staff truly made my stay special with their warm welcomes and thoughtful gestures, such as surprising me on my birthday. The variety and quality of the food were impressive, though securing a sunbed by the pool felt a bit competitive. Overall, it was a great vacation with lots of activities to enjoy, especially for families.
