Dolphin Bay Resort & Spa - Pismo Beach, California

We had our wedding at the Dolphin Bay Resort and Spa in October of 2024. This hotel is spectacular, and the staff was a joy to work with. The vibe was friendly, kind, laid back, and warm all around. Their motto “ Laid back Luxury” is just that, a luxurious experience but with a laid back mellow, cool, not stuffy, mom and pop, family-owned kinda place. In particular, working with their wedding events coordinator Mary Ventura was an absolute dream. She made the preparations for our wedding so smooth the entire way, she knew how to take us through every corner. Mary is very gifted at her job and you can tell she loves it very much because she is so positive and relaxed. The rest of the staff were extremely kind, helpful and welcoming. Rooms were stunning as was the view from the room and the pool was next-level amazing. The wedding couldn't have gone more seamlessly and perfectly. To top it off, all our guests were equally impressed. Thank you Mary and everyone at the Dolphin Bay! We look forward to returning to celebrate many of our anniversaries there.

This resort checks all boxes for me! Dog friendly (with a reasonable pet fee), smart TV, fully stocked kitchen, great view of the ocean.

The only disappointment was the showerhead, pretty weak but that’s probably the state & local water conservation requirements.

I had the pleasure of staying here this past weekend for my cousin’s wedding. As I have been in the wedding industry for over a decade I can be very picky when it comes to service and the quality of work done by coordinators. To say I was blown away by the care and concern shown by Mary (the wedding coordinator) is an understatement. Not only was she calm and collected the entire time- she was exceptional at being on top of things and having everything ready to go with plenty of time to spare before the ceremony. She is definitely an asset to Dolphin Bay. I was very prepared to jump in at any time to make sure my cousin’s wedding was everything of her dreams and more but not once did I feel the need to. Thank you Mary, for going above and beyond to make Casey’s wedding absolute perfection for her and her now husband.

Our second stay at this fabulous resort. The most welcoming, friendly, professional staff - everyone you meet greets you with a smile and warm comment! Complimentary glass of wine as return guests was a delightful surprise. We had dinner at Lido one evening - lovely food and Celena was superb dealing with a hiccup with the order. Gluten free options, including pasta, available. Outstanding!

My cousins and I took a girls trip for 3 nights and 4 days. We had such a wonderful time. The hotel is amazing, right off the beach. The room and service is fantastic. We loved being at the pool. The food at the hotel was very good. We felt the location was close by to San Louis Obispo and Paso Robles. We all agreed we would stay there again.
