My family of five stayed at My Dolphin Cove for two weeks ending yesterday, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were on The Big Island with several households from my wife's extended family. Ours and one other household stayed at the condo complex that's home to My Dolphin Cove, while other households stayed elsewhere. Our unit and complex became the gathering point for the larger family (16 people total) due to the comparative spaciousness of My Dolphin Cove and the ease of reserving the barbecue pavilion by the pool. Speaking of the pool, it's not super large, but can comfortably have 10 or so people swimming simultaneously; we were there numerous times over the two weeks... Our boys also loved watching YouTube on the very large tv in our unit, and during the second week started playing on the pool table near the swimming pool. Point being, My Dolphin Cove and the complex in which it sits are great for families with kids--though it may not be quite as appealing for families with younger children who wouldn't use a pool table, might not use the tennis courts (which, as an aside, are in mediocre condition), and would be more limited in the swimming pool, which has a very modest shallow area (most of the pool is 6-9 feet in depth). Back to My Dolphin Cove itself, it was very well-maintained and had everything we needed or might have asked for to make our vacation a pleasure. Kudos to the hosts!
