Where to Find the Resort Maps (and What You’ll See)
Delfins offers downloadable maps for both Delfins Beach Resort and Delfins Residences on its website. These maps outline the resort’s layout, primary routes, and central facilities so you can get oriented in advance.
Here’s what you can expect to locate on the maps:

- Delfins Pier: A direct entry point for snorkeling right from the resort’s shoreline.
- Pools (three outdoor pools): Refresh in the main pools and the dedicated kids’ pool. The resort features refreshing magnesium pools, open year-round from sunrise to sunset.
- Dining (four restaurants): Family-friendly venues serving French, international, and Caribbean dishes, with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options available.
- Shops (two stores): Browse unique items and essentials without leaving the property.
- Front Desk & Arrival Areas: Plan your route from arrival to your room, beach, or first activity.
- Parking: Complimentary self-parking is available for guests near the main entrance.
Tip: If you’re staying in the Residences, use the Delfins Residences map to get your bearings and identify the quickest paths to the beach, pools, and restaurants.
How to Read the Delfins Resort Map for a Smooth First Day
1) Plot Your Arrival Path
- Confirm your check-in window (4:00 PM–11:00 PM) and front desk hours (7:00 AM–11:00 PM).
- If your flight lands late, contact the resort at least 24 hours in advance for late check-in instructions.
- If you’ve arranged an airport transfer (available for an additional fee), note the drop-off point and your walking route to the front desk.
- Driving yourself? Head to complimentary self-parking by the main entrance and follow the shortest route on the map to reception.
2) Head Straight to Your First “Happy Place”
- Beach-first: Trace the most direct path to Delfins Beach and choose your ideal palapa or lounger. If a beach massage is on your wish list, note the Beach Spa location.
- Pool-first: Identify which pool you want—quiet relaxation or the kids’ pool—and plot a quick route from your building.
3) Snorkel Like a Local (From the Pier)
- The map shows pier access for direct water entry. Because the seabed can be rocky, water shoes are recommended for comfort and safety.
- Bring your snorkel kit and plan your entry/exit points in advance, using the map to time your swim around meals or naps.
4) Plan Your Meals Around Your Day
- The resort’s four restaurants offer a breadth of options—including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free dishes—so everyone in your group can dine happily.
- Use the map to see which venue sits closest to your morning beach spot or afternoon pool. This helps you time meals without trekking across the resort.
- Not staying at Delfins? All on-site restaurants welcome outside guests—though on Sundays, resort facilities (including restaurants) are reserved exclusively for in-house guests.
5) Keep Families a Step Ahead
- Mark the kids’ pool and the nearest restrooms on the map for quick dashes.
- Note the shortest shaded routes to the beach and snack spots.
- If you need adjacent space, remember that interconnected rooms are available.
6) Prioritize Accessibility From the Start
- Elevators provide step-free access to all guest floors, and common areas (restaurants, pools, and beach access points) are wheelchair accessible.
- The resort also offers a mobility-accessible studio with a roll-in shower. Use the map to plan the smoothest routes between your room and the amenities you’ll use most.
7) Align With Resort Hours
- Pools: Open year-round from sunrise to sunset.
- Front desk: 7:00 AM–11:00 PM.
- Late arrivals: Contact the resort in advance for late check-in arrangements.
