Loved every thing . I can’t say anything negative about this place. It was so wonderful, but if I had to make a suggestion, I would take those little refrigerators and take them out of the closet so that there’s enough room to hang your clothes. Just a suggestion.

Our room was nicely decorated and roomy. Our room had a balcony that faced the water so we sat and had our coffee there in the morning, which was so nice! The hosts thought of eveything! I would def stay here again.

An Elegant Inn
We knew nothing about New Smyrna or the Black Dophin when we booked our trip for a week. What a pleasant surprise. The Inn is facing the gorgeous bay with views of handsome sailboats as the sun comes up. You can have your delicious, daily varied breakfasts brought to your room, but there are very pleasant areas to sit outside in the courtyard or on the front porch. The breakfast chefs are outstanding and Jennifer is always available to help in any way. She found that we had left pills behind and she kindly sent them to us on her own by Fedex. Taylor was an exceptionally genial host, who went out of his way to make sure we were happy. The Inn is a real gem, with plentiful parking, and easy access to the beach, boat tours, and the many historical curiosities of New Smyrna.

We stayed at the Black Dolphin Inn for two nights, and thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The hotel is in a beautiful building, in quiet residential area, overlooking the water. The room we had was on the ground floor, and was extremely spacious, clean and comfortable, with furnishings to complement the art deco style of the building. The staff here were extremely friendly and made our stay so much more enjoyable. There was a complimentary breakfast included in our stay, and this was made fresh each morning. You are given the choice of having breakfast in the dining area of the hotel, or it can be delivered to your room. There are a few dining options for evening dinner about a fifteen minute walk away, which we found very convenient. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Black Dolphin, and would definitely recommend staying here.

Stunning property. A real gem of a hotel. Lots of outside areas to sit and relax with beautiful views. Breakfast is served in the rooms which was a wonderful surprise but if you don’t want to eat in your room you can take your breakfast to the gardens. A very relaxed atmosphere.
