"No AC needed at all"

"Fantastic experience here! Loved the amenities! My brother and i used the free bikes and paddleboards. We got our complimentary kombucha. Fresh local fruit Friday morning. Live music Friday night. We were able to bike to our snorkel spot and walk our paddleboards to the water nearby. Staff was very helpful! Room needed some updates but everything worked."

"Lovely staff who were very helpful. The property was built in 1920 by the grandfather of the young lady who managed the hotel during our visit. She told us that plans are being made to refurbish the hotel. We stayed in the ocean view room where the views are stunning. The hotel does need some modenisation in some parts. "

"The hotel almost covers everything for a hotel in a Hawaiian Island. "

"We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the beauty scenic property. Mary has created such a wonderful surrounding, full of calm and peacefully set against a picturesque backdrop. We were surrounded by nature, wildlife, and so many things to see and explore each day. Mary, herself, is amazing. We really enjoyed our time with her, visiting and learning about the community she's built and her fascinating life. And, she has the sweetest dog. We're so happy to have connected with her and glad to have made such a wonderful friend :) Our daughter loved the stay so much she didn't want to leave. We've moved around during our stay here on the Big Island staying at 3 different places, and she still says Mary's cottage stay is by far the best! If you visit Big Island, we'd highly recommend staying at Mary's beautiful retreat – It's a definitely must! "

"Wonderful place to stay for the weekend of our wedding. Thank you for the chocolate, cookies treats and free drinks. Nice place for morning walks. "

"It was a clean room, nicely decorated. "

"Very unique and unforgettable living experience! Large room, clean, quiet, beautiful views! Would definitely live again next time we come to the big island."

"The rains definitely started to fall two days into our 3 day visit to Hilo and we desired to move from our relatively off-grid Hipcamp (which we loved!) into an actual hotel room with amenities. Dolphin Bay has been a bucket list hotel for me and sure enough, I checked Hotels.com to see if they had a room on the fly and they did! and one with a kitchen...PERFECT! Chrissy was so friendly and welcomed us and told us about things to see locally. The kitchen was immaculate and well set up. We were able to cook up a delightful gourmet dinner, wash and dry our laundry, I took a nice long bath annnnd I had Hallmark Christmas movies on almost the entire time...The rains just fell and fell outside the entire night and through the next day and it was soooo relaxing to just have the windows open listening to the rains and even thunder. Odie (I think his name is ) the kitty came in to visit us when my hubby opened the door. We love kitties and he is just a precious one; we welcomed him right in and he hung out with us the day of our checkout. The coffee and Banana Bread in the lobby was such an Amazing treat. We already had a reservation for another hotel on the waterfront just a few miles away so we checked with Katie in the lobby and she gave us the go ahead for a very relaxing Late checkout which worked perfectly to meet our reservation at the other hotel. She found out Kauai was on our itinerary and gave my husband some great info on places to visit. We love Dolphin Bay!"
