Dolphin Bay will feature 70 units, 14 of which will be auctioned to prospective owners on January 29, 2006. The balance will comprise the Dolphin Bay Hotel, offering guests an extraordinary escape at the heart of the Pacific Coast.

Dolphin Bay Hotel�s features and amenities redefine the Central Coast�s lodging landscape. Configured as one bedroom, two bedroom and penthouse units, Dolphin Bay guest residences are spacious, ranging in size from 985 to 2,000 square feet. Developed by one of California�s leading builders, the property is constructed with a list of features and amenities more akin to contemporary luxury home standards.

�Dolphin Bay is our dream come true, and our ultimate desire is to have our guests share this feeling,� said Maureen Raynaud, Dolphin Bay partner and chief operating officer. �We anticipate our guest�s expectations will be high, and we look forward to exceeding them in every possible way,� she added.

Guests may dine on property at Lido Restaurant, revive their senses at the resort�s day spa, La Bonne Vie, exercise at the hotel fitness center, swim in Dolphin Bay�s enormous, infinity-edged pool and Jacuzzi spa, and comb the ocean beach that unfurls steps from the hotel. Local San Luis Obispo County attractions encompass wine country touring, championship golf, sea kayaking, coastal bike and hiking trails, wildlife watching, and much more.

Many guests will opt to rest in pampered privacy within their rooms, where designer Italian linens, gourmet kitchens with quality appliances, plasma flat panel televisions with surround sound systems, and wide-angle Pacific Ocean views come in a variety of configurations. Double-pane windows with wood casement frames, honed travertine flooring, tightly woven wool carpet, solid core wood doors, complimentary high speed Internet access, custom woodwork, and granite counter tops grace every unit, and selected units feature fireplaces and Aire Jet tubs.

Led by Swiss born general manager Reto V. Torriani, guest service is another area where Dolphin Bay will offer surpassing quality. �Our team of management and staff will deliver five-star service that is cosmopolitan, gracious, understated, perfect,� said Mr. Torriani, a veteran international hotelier with experience heading hotels on five continents. That he speaks five languages, rides a custom Harley Davidson motorcycle and once fronted a rock band add to Mr. Torriani�s comprehensive, world-class credentials.
