We had a great time at Dolphin Cove. Only complaint is that it is a lot of hurry up and wait. You spend less than 5 minutes with the dolphins, and the rest of the time you are waiting. However, you have free access to roam the facilities, which are beautiful.
Dunn's River Falls Rating:
Dunns River was amazing. However, we had thought there would be more areas where the children and family who weren't climbing could play in the water while we climbed the falls. This was not the case. You either climbed or you sat on benches next to the falls. Still had a great time, and our tour guide Lopez was great. Main complaint is that it is very confusing figuring out what tour bus to get on at the end of the trip.
We were very disappointed in this excursion. Even our 6 yr old was unimpressed. While the pirate ship itself was fantastic, the rest was subpar. Only two of the "pirates" were dressed up. The rest were in normal street clothes. Also, they had advertised a battle, which never happened. They seemed more interested in flirting with the pretty girls than doing the trip.
We did the Deluxe Beach Break at Playa Mia. It was phenomenal. We were able to relax on the beautiful beach, eat delicious food, snorkel and more. Great value!!
