I’m staying again at the Dolphin in June. I am a huge fan of the Dolphin in terms of value and would probably still consider it as a good option if the prices were closer to Disney prices. It was fully renovated in 2016 or 2017 so it’s in good shape. The only reason I would spend more money to stay at the BCR would be the pools. Dolphins pools are solid and hold their own but not to BCR nothing does on property. But usually it’s 200+ more a night to stay at BCR and for me that’s probably not worth it particularly given we end up spending too much time at the parks. If I planned a half park / half resort stay I’d consider it. But obviously it’s a personal choice.I am booked at the Dolphin in June with an amazing rate, but I am concerned over the multitude of negative reviews I am seeing. I absolutely love this area and Beach Club is nearly 4x the price. Should I ignore the negative reviews and take a chance or search for Disney owned accommodations at a potentially less ideal location?
Where have you stayed before on property for perspective?
