Family owned and operated Dolphin Bay Hotel has been serving Hilo and the Big Island for ages. They provide a truly warm experience and show the true meaning of Aloha. Each room comes with a kitchenette, providing the ease of home cooked meals while away from home on your vacation.. something that the other hotels do not offer. With prompt maid services and fresh flowers for every room... to hot coffee and banana bread made each morning ... the Dolphin Bay Hotel and its staff truly make one feel at home while staying in Hilo. Not far from downtown Hilo, the location is ideal. We truly enjoyed our stay and reccommend the DBH to anyone considering a stay on the Big Island. Mahalo!
