What is the hotel Program like?

Dolphin Point Club will have a captive rental pool program, meaning that all short-term rentals must go through the property’s management (owners will not be allowed to place their homes on AirBNB, VRBO, etc).  Participation in the hotel program is optional.  Please note that if owners choose to participate in the hotel program, they can still block off time for personal use.

The hotel pool program will look and feel like a traditional hotel.  Management will maintain and operate a central website and booking system, organize arrival and departure transportation, provide concierge services as well as oversee maintenance and maid service.

Rental rates are split 70% to the owner and 30% to the management.  Additional fees to guests include a 10% gratuity to service staff and a 13% government tourist tax. Long term rentals are not subject to the 70/30 split and fees; however, management will receive a commission if they are responsible for sourcing the long term tenant.

Will furniture packages be made available?

All Dolphin Point Club units are sold unfurnished. Owners may choose to furnish their units on their own or select a furniture package from one of our recommended local interior design companies: Label C, IDG or Design Studio. Both companies offer different styles at various price levels and are willing to work with clients to create custom packages.

If an owner at Dolphin Point Club wishes to put their unit into the hotel rental pool, they must purchase a linen and kitchen package from the DPC developers in order to keep everything standard and easily replaceable.

Can I bring my pet?

Yes, owners are allowed pets provided that they are neither a nuisance or present a threat or intimidation to others as determined by management.  All animals must remain on a leash while they are outside of their home and the dog run. 

The dog run is a fenced in area adjacent to the parking lot.  There will be a shade structure, owner’s bench as well as an area to wash your dog.  Owners are responsible for determining the sociability of their pets. 

Does each unit receive a parking space?

Each unit will be assigned an above ground covered parking space.  For those looking for something more private, there will be airconditioned, one and two car garages in the basement available for purchase.  The sale of these garages will be limited to owners of Dolphin Point Club.

Does each unit get their own solar panels?

The solar panels will power the common areas in order to reduce overall strata fees. We intend to work with a solar specialist to determine if there will be enough surface area for each unit to get their own solar panel.

How do I access the sea?

Dolphin Point Club has a naturally formed lagoon, which we have enhanced by adding steps, railings, and turtle friendly lighting.   On a calm day, swimmers can access the sea by lagoon or the ladder.  There are numerous shore dives located off Dolphin Point Club’s coast, including Orange Canyon, Trinity Caves and Bonnie’s Arch.

Will there be a dive shop?

No, there will not be an onsite dive shop.   Private dive guides and instructors as well as tank delivery can be arranged through the front desk. In addition, there will be a bench to assemble dive equipment, an equipment wash bucket and freshwater showers.  Shore dives are for experienced certified divers only, as one must judge the currents and surface boat traffic. The front desk will provide an optional surface signaling device for your safety, but diving will be at your own risk. Every unit gets one dive locker downstairs.

How will the onsite restaurant be managed?

Dolphin Point Club will have a fourth-floor, world class restaurant and bar operated by an experienced, local restaurateur. The restaurant will be the first roof top restaurant in Cayman and will feature sweeping views of Seven Mile Beach.  

Guests can only access the bar/restaurant via the elevator by passing through the security gate, walking past the front desk in the lobby and only then taking a single, private elevator up.  The restaurant will maintain an upscale decorum via a dress code similar to Luca at Caribbean Club or Seven at The Ritz Carlton.  Guests and staff of the restaurant will not be permitted to use any of the onsite amenities such as the pool or roof terrace.   Supplies to the restaurant will only be delivered via the service elevator.   

The restaurant space will be owned by the developer.  The developer will be responsible for paying strata fees, insurance as well as any maintenance costs for the restaurant.

Where did the name “Dolphin Point Club” originate from?

Historically, the site was a development with the name Dolphin Point.  The original Dolphin Point Condominiums were destroyed in 2004 by Hurricane Ivan.  The old condominiums were built too low and too close to the sea. These old block/wood structures were not rebuilt after Ivan and the property stood vacant until now. In order to develop responsibly, we must respect the history of the site and learn from mistakes of the past.  

The new Dolphin Point Club will be constructed using the Miami Dade standards in order to withstand Category 5 level winds and flooding.  We have raised the level of the basement and pool from 8 feet above sea level to 13.5 feet above sea level.  The ground floor, lobby and parking lot will now sit 25 feet above sea level.   All windows and glass will be impact rated and the roof will be standing seam.  The property will also feature backup generators to maintain safety and security during times of need.
