My son and I stayed more than one week at the Dolphin Bay Hotel. We enjoyed our stay there very much! John has been very helpful and provided his own map of the island and suggested a lot of places to visit, which we would have not heard of. We went to all of them and had a great time. Everybody who is working at the hotel is courteous and the amenities such as the bananas, papayas were greatly appreciated. We surely want to come back! Also we do like the location of Hilo from where you can easily explore the island.
