The breakfast was very good. Every day was better than the last day. I could have had seconds of every breakfast. The cooks were very friendly while cooking breakfast. They also gave us different locations for dinner.

A swimming pool would be nice to relax at every day. The beach was a short distance away. This is not a complaint just thinking out loud. The staff was very kind and helpful. I definitely would visit again.

With the hurricane coming in on our 25th Anniversary we were going to cancel but we are so glad we didn't! Breakfast was delivered to our room which was very delicious. The owners invited us to have dinner with their family day of the storm and when we checked out the dolphins were playing right in front of us as we pulled out of the driveway as if they were saying goodbye. The Black Dolphin Inn went above and beyond our expectations and the place is gorgeous!! Highly recommend! New Smyrna Beach will be our 2nd home now....we love the whole town!

Nothing!

Located right on the Indian River Lagoon, the setting is exquisite. The building itself is enchanting and we adored our experience from start to finish. Brett was so friendly and we appreciated the attention paid to our experience as a whole. The room was beautiful and so comfortable. Bath robes are a nice touch. The night manager Jennifer and her cat were so friendly also. We felt that anything we needed was right within reach. From the 24 hr customer assistance to the bar area this place has you covered. The private dock overlooking the lagoon was amazing. We had our breakfast on the dock and were able to see the dolphins. Brett gave us a guide to New Smyrna beach which was helpful also. We had a wonderful stay and have already reserved our spot for next year!

We are vegetarians and we loved the yogurt and fruit for breakfast. The only other breakfast option that day had sausage in it. We do eat eggs, so some option like eggs and toast or French toast would have been ideal, but the breakfast we had was very good! We appreciated the coffee and tea bar.

Amazing room, view of intercoastal, balcony and whirlpool tub in room.

Everything was top notch, except the toilet paper. Odd choice to save a few dollars. Also, our room was on the third floor and could only be accessed by using an outside staircase to the second floor and then very steep stairs for the next two levels. If one has knee issues, back issues or just advanced age issues don't book the top floor (or if it is stormy weather).

Location was great. The building itself was beautiful and recently renovated. Our room was spacious with a cool decoration, a large bed, high ceilings, and a tub with jets. We also really enjoyed the breakfast, it was a yummy surprise!! Very satisfied and would come again.

We didn't have any complaints about our stay. This place met all of our expectations, and we were very pleasantly surprised.

The place is beautiful and the staff was super friendly. We just had a couple of issues with the room. It wasn’t a huge deal, can be easily remedied. The ceiling fan knocked at times. The fridge made a weird sound, sometimes, too. Between the two, our sleep was sometimes interrupted. Also, they need to put an additional towel holder in the room. Like I said, minor stuff. Overall, our stay was lovely.

See above. Minor and easily remedied. Lost sleep from fan and fridge noise.

Beautiful boutique hotel with a nice water view. Easy walk to old downtown with restaurants and shops. Short drive to the beach and the hotel provides towels and chairs if desired. Breakfast was excellent and the staff was top notch. Would definitely stay again!

Breakfast was good and served when we asked. Loved the mid century decor mixed up with modern. The room was very comfortable and cozy. View was okay with a little lanai off the room with a limited view of the river. All in all we enjoyed our stay there.

Jennifer was very hospitable and very friendly. They brought us very good breakfast to our room. And the location was great! If I could have that experience every weekend I’d do it in a heartbeat!

I like the uniqueness of the resort and the staff was very nice and friendly. The location was convenient as it Is close to the main bridge to the beach and getting to the resort is very easy. Room service breakfast was included in stay which was nice.

There is really no designated parking but plenty of places to park. I stayed in room 301 and it was very nice but did not have a balcony and i liked the rooms I viewed online better. The breakfast was good but didn’t wow me and not as impressive looking as the photos of the food I viewed. I really liked the place but for the money (about $235 for a one night one person stay once taxes were added in) i expected a bit more. If I were to stay again i would probably book directly with the resort and request a different room with a balcony. The price is on the high end for a.New Smyrna Beach hotel that is not on the beach, it is across the bridge from then beach on the infra coastal.
