lpic1 I purchased a 3-bedroom unit from Holiday Group at the Dolphin’s Cove Resort in Anaheim, CA. I have three children (ages 1, 6, and 11). I wanted someplace close to Disneyland and California Adventure so that we could take breaks in the middle of the day for the kids, and not be too far from our unit after the day’s activities were over. The location is great! Less than a 5-minute drive or 20-minute walk from Disneyland.

The grounds are well kept and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Our unit was spacious, with high ceilings and great air-conditioning. Even though the units were a bit older, they were very clean. We went to a grocery store and made almost all our meals at our unit. Having a toddler, it was much more convenient for us to do this! The pool area is nice and the water is kept at a comfortable, refreshing temperature. Lots of chairs and tables are available, and there are two gas grills that you can use to cook a meal.

The resort also supplies activities for children to keep them busy throughout the day, including a game room filled with arcade games, pool table, air hockey, television, etc. The kids liked the resort so much it was hard to get them out of the pool to go to Disneyland! They also enjoyed the movies that the front desk offered for rental, as well as the snack bar by the pool.

This was a great buy and an even better future investment. The vacation was really enjoyable, definitely worth it! And the hot tub was so nice to come back to after walking around the parks for 10-12 hours a day.

We brought everything that we needed on our vacation. But it was nice to see that the area is surrounded by restaurants and shopping. The resort also offers a small selection of items to purchase on-site.

I would recommend eating at Acapulco Mexican Restaurant. Great food and great service. It is located a couple miles from Dolphin’s Cove Resort, on Katella Street. While in the area, catch a Hockey game and watch the Ducks take the ice at Honda Center. Or catch a baseball game at Angel Stadium. Or take a drive to the many area beaches, or to Hollywood.
