The Dolphin Lodge is an excellent hostel. It is located in the residential district that sits about 50 meters above the main street of town. This provides great views out into the ocean, especially if youre up early enough for sunrise.
It's just a fairly small home, so it's not one of the big hostels you will find in larger cities. It has a very cozy feel to it. The rooms and facilities are clean and comfortable, with a moderately sized but fully adequate kitchen and small living area with a roaring fire. The showers and toilets are clean and very nice. There is a TV room with quite a few movies to be hired at no cost.
The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The place is run by a middle-aged couple who live there as well, along with a few cats. The pricing is standard.
Outside there is a nice large deck with picnic tables to eat at or just relax and read a book while overlooking the ocean. But the best thing about the Dolphin Lodge is the wonderful spa outside. After a long day of travel or whale-watching or swimming in the ocean, the hot spa feels great.
