Badian Island Bar Hotel

"Dolphin House is in prime oceanfront location just a stone's throw from White Beach. While my room was basic, the property grounds are beautiful with a picturesque restaurant and bar overlooking the sea. The staff though is what sets Dolphin House apart - so warm, friendly and accommodating! I arrived late after their restaurant and front desk had closed but the kitchen made two huge and delicious sandwiches that they left with the night guard to give to me - sooo nice! Similarly, the next night I got back to the hotel late after a full day of diving and sightseeing and despite the kitchen being closed a half an hour already, the chef made dinner for me. I just wish I could have stayed longer!"

"Great location, friendly staff willing to help book transport and tours, clean room, comfortable bed, great bathroom with hot Drying rack available for wet clothes, washing services offered. water. The onsite restaurant and bar was also very good. I really enjoyed my one week stay here. "

"Excellent value for money, super friendly and helpful staff, would stay here again for sure"

"This is a dive resort with an amazing house reef! Went to pescador island from this resort and snorkelling was better on the house reef. Take a tricycle into town. It’s worth visiting. Food was good and great spot for three nights"

"My wife and I stayed here for a few nights and really liked it here! As we arrived to the place we weren't sure if we were going to get what the pictures looked like or not because it's off the main road a ways and you go through the local neighborhoods to get there. But once we got to the resort it was beautiful! The hut we stayed in too was very fun and authentic feeling. Being right next to the beach and having your own little seating area beneath was great. The food was very good and the staff did a great job making sure our needs were met and helping to adjust anything to our needs! It was very nice too to be able to arrange activities through them such as hiking Osemña peak, canyoneering, and more. They also had some friendly pets that were a nice surprise! The one part that was rough was the heat at night. The hut didn't have AC and only a ceiling fan and a standing fan. We were hoping that being by the sea meant we would get a nice breeze but that wasn't the case. There were also plenty of bugs that come with the hut that aren't really avoidable. You do get a net to sleep with but it also blocks any wind from the fans which kind of defeats their purpose. Definitely wouldn't recommend staying in that for more than a few nights, but just 1-3 would be perfect! There were also some nights where the dogs were noisy and interrupted our sleep. Overall we loved it and would love to come again and stay in a different room with AC next time 😅"
