TL;DR
A wild dolphin regularly shows up near shore between the Baron Resort and Albatros hotel areas; best chance is early morning around 7am at high tide.
Swimmers coming from the Sunrise hotel area encountered the dolphin on their way back along the shore — it didn't let them get out of the water, seemingly waving them to swim further or back, acting somewhat guarded.
Best chance to meet the dolphin is around 7am at high tide, near the blue construction fence area. It comes in from open water near the Albatros hotel, arcs along the reef, then heads back out toward the Baron Resort.
One swimmer spent about 20 minutes with the dolphin — it wasn't in a hurry, briefly swam off into open water near the Baron Resort buoys but returned within a minute, then they swam together as far as the Albatros hotel.
