Liked: just amazing.it has been already a few days come back from ubatuba but i still keep talking about how tropical dolphin hostel gave a unique flavour with it's ambience location view last but never can be least the stuff if you can describe them as stuff since they are more like friends for me...if u want some pats running around in the garden,waking up with the view of ocean,a calm family athmospher rather than a dance floor in a hostel tropical dolphins must be your destination in whole brasil not only in ubatuba..go there i assure you wont regret..greating from ania and fati..:)

Liked: Very nice and welcoming family. Nice rooms. Free Internet. The family brought us to see capoeira and took us on a one-day trek to some very beautiful beaches (at least as good as on Ilha Grande). Ended up staying longer than intended, as we had a good time.

Liked: Great location in a lovely place. The room was large, comfortable, clean and cheap. Without considering the family that run the hostal, I would rate the Tropical Dolphin very highly, but Daryl, Denise and the kids really made the stay something special. They treated us like family and made our stay there a wonderful experience. Very highly reccommended!

03 February 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Very friendly owners and staff, ready to help with advice on the town and what to do. Location is literally right opposite the beach, though there are nicer beaches in the area. Breakfast was also beautifully arranged.The only negative thing was a smell of damp/moisture in the room, but given location opposite the beach this may be hard to avoid.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
