Pros: Friendly and honest staff. Large spacious rooms.

Local people were upset with the change as it also affected the Dolphin Square Apartments which had had some sort of limit on rents.

On the way to the airport, the taxi cap driver mentioned that a review of the charter of Dolphin Square revealed that Dolphin Square had been operating illegally as hotel.

Later on in the spring, I received an email that they were closing the hotel and could no longer accept reservations.
