    Very happy with our stay. We have stayed at this hotel 3 times now and are always very happy. The hotel is quiet, view is amazing, the beds are comfortable, and the staff is great! We will be back!

    Great and helpful staff, super close to moonstone beach. The included breakfast delivered in the morning was a great bonus!!

    Our room at the blue dolphin was large and comfortable. Clean and well-appointed, it also had a charming vibe that is missing in many modern hotels. Conveniently located across the street from beach access, we were able to walk to dinner a couple blocks away. We would definitely stay here again on future travels.

    We visit Moonstone Beach at least once a year and have never had a bad time. We've stayed at various properties and Blue Dolphin was a great place to stay. The location was excellent, the breakfast was very good and I love that they deliver it to your door. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was rather warm (fans were provided, but there was a heat wave) so I think next time we'll go ahead and pay the extra for an ocean front room. However I must say that our room was large and very comfortable. AND they have Fox Sports West, so we were able to watch the Dodger games. That was definitely a plus!

    This was a very nice place to stay. The fireplace in our room was not working. They did have a small heater in case you needed some heat in the room. This was a beautiful building and room. Will definitely try to stay here again.

    Unbeatable location with updated rooms. Friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast delivered to room was a nice touch, but minimal.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Our room (114) had a large patio where you could sit and look at the ocean. Room was a nice size, clean, very comfortable. Bathroom had everything we needed, including a Jacuzzi style tub. Very short walk to The Moonstone Bar & Grill (excellent food & drinks). Hotel provided a small hot breakfast, delivered to our room in the morning. The staff was super nice & helpful. My wife & I have stayed here before & will definitely be back as soon as we can.

    The club chairs in the room were not comfortable and were quite worn.
