Dolphin Bay   

Dolphin Bay Resort & Spa is an elegant all-villa resort set on a beautiful beach with picturesque views of the Pacific Ocean. During the day, visit San Luis Obispo County's signature offerings: boutique wineries, Hearst castle, wildlife sanctuaries, and historic missions.

After each adventure, return to Dolphin Bay Resort & Spa and pamper yourself: Lounge by the infinity edged saline pool, receive pampering treatments from La Bonne Vie Spa, or start a new adventure on complimentary bicycle rentals on coastal trails. Pets are welcome and spoiled at The Dolphin Bay Resort & Spa, where they'll receive a custom pet amenity upon arrival.

For dinner, dine al fresco on a table overlooking the bluff, at Dolphin Bay's signature restaurant, Lido. Focusing on fresh, seasonal ingredients from the Central Coast, Lido's casual but fine dining has won the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for 3 consecutive years. ('07, '08, '09)

At the end of your day, retreat to your villa via its private entrance, and enter your personal retreat: private dining and living rooms, designer linens, walk-in closets, and flat-panel televisions with surround-sound systems. As you sink into beds arrayed with fresh linens, breathe in the unmistakable scent of the ocean - and luxury.

"Dolphin Bay is a true gem. From the incredibly large and beautifully appointed rooms, the beach access to the exceptional service, we had a truly perfect stay. The beds are comfortable, the robes pure bliss... the pool rivals any Bellagio-of-the-Central-Coast and it must be seen. I'm not going to spoil the secret, you just have to go and see for yourself." - Jill P., San Francisco, CA

"Absolutely the best hotel I have ever stayed in!!!...Every detail is attended to...the full kitchen is truly gourmet. GE Arctica Fridge, Wusthof Knives in the kitchen, granite countertops, flat screen TV's, and the view is amazing. Right on the cliffs in Pismo." - Jerry M., Fresno, CA

"Traveling with our three small children, we wanted a family-friendly place that enabled us to have some space, a kitchen, laundry, etc...The Dolphin Bay met those needs and much, much more...we faced the ocean and our suite walked out to the pool area (gated)...A pathway along the cliff led to beach access with some amazing tidal pools...The rooms were serviced twice a day and the staff was incredibly helpful, friendly and responsive." - Alexis E., Evanston, IL
