We had a beachfront room with balcony. Room is clean although the bathroom has sewer smell once in a while and some fixtures needs replacement as getting old and rusty. Staff is very friendly. Buffet breakfast is just ok. The location is close to many restaurants but still the area feels private and quiet. The beach is very nice and feels private.

I honestly wasn't expecting much from the property since it was still available while the other lodging places in the area were sold out. All I can say is that I am very impressed with everything, from service, to how everything looked, food was also great. They also offer pick up and drop off service which was a huge plus. I will come back and I highly recommend this place! 5/5!

Simply Wonderful

My husband and I came here for our honeymoon, and it was all around wonderful. The workers were attentive, helpful, and nice. It is right on Kota Beach and MJ square. The cocktails were amazing. I would absolutely stay here again. Thank you Marlins Resort!!

The menu is limited- I stayed for 7nts, the breakfast menu did not change. I recommend variety on the menu. The ramp railing to go down the beach gets very hot, I slipped and fell because the railing was extremely hot. I recommend wrapping the railing with something to prevent it from getting very hot.,

We are an older couple and had stayed at a more rustic resort a little nearer the port before moving to Marlins. Had a beach front room 32 ground floor , the nearest the sea.. almost new inside! Had things the 1st resort didn't. Quiet spot AC, hot water in sink, shower a lot more powerful, better lights, mirrors, tea/coffee making . Good buffet breakfast, better beach. Beach gets better further from the port and for swimming is best nearer the sandbar 4 mins away. Has ferry shuttle and only couple minutes walk to restaurants. Staff helpful and can arrange Island hopping from beach in front. Would definitely recommend! Only downside was the transport arranged to get back to airport. Driver was in his old maroon van and did not look for us after we got of ferry. Found him by accident! Within a few minutes driving he was texting on phone and answering calls ...no hands free. Wife asked him to stop whilst he was talking on phone. He did not like that and continued to drive in a very jerky manner for the rest of the 3 hour trip. He pulled into a petrol station and demanded his 3500 fare. We thought for buying petrol but he just pulled out and continued. When at the airport he just stopped and sat in his seat with engine running, whilst we struggled with our bags. So rude and not a good end to a great holiday. Fellow traveler at marlins only paid 2500 after haggling with taxi driver at airport. Beware! But Marlins was a great experience!
