New aquatic-themed rooms launching at the Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach resort will be a thrilling treat for young film fans of the Dolphin Tale movies.

Set on Clearwater Beach, the Florida hotel which opened at the beginning of the year, has teamed up with Clearwater Marine Aquarium – home to dolphins Winter and Hope, the movies’ stars – to create the series of six rooms each decked out with ‘dolphin’ décor.

Clearwater was named America’s Best Beach last year by TripAdvisor while the hotel is just a five-minute drive away from Clearwater Marine Aquarium where you can visit Hope and Winter.

A night in the Winter Bunk room starts at $343.90.
