Overall, the staff were faultless - friendly and efficient. The food was abundant and well-prepared, and the view was lovely. Outdoor relaxation facilities (pool and bar area) were most enjoyable. This place is ideal for families and those who enjoy a lively beachfront atmosphere. The hotel is obviously well-liked and used by locals for parties and other events. We were hoping for a peaceful and relaxing weekend - unfortunately, this was not the case due to numerous events on the premises, and a lawn sprinkler making a noise during the night. Downers: (minor maintenance issues which did not limit our enjoyment) There was no drinking water in the room upon arrival. I didn't think about it until we went to get some at the bar and were informed that it was too early to get it for free (as part of our package), and there should have been two bottles in the room. TV was not configured correctly - the maintenance person had to come in. While he was there, we mentioned: - The toilet did not stop running after flushing - The basin did not drain properly - The bathroom cabinet had minor damage Giving attention to general ongoing repairs would make a big difference.

“A little overrated”

Was really looking forward to this resort after reading all the reviews and seeing all the pictures, however I was very disappointed with my experience here. If you're looking for a quiet holiday rest, this is not the place to go. I didn't mind all the activities that happened daily, but I at least expected the rooms to be quiet, which our first room was not. We requested to be moved due to the noise level, and the 2nd room was much better, however the bathrooms need a lot of maintenance. There was just rust every where and the bath tap was moving so badly I thought it was about to come off the wall. We also had the one night where the hot water just completely disappeared, as in the water stopped coming out of the tap. We reported it and then 15min later, they told us to try again...something about the boiler needed to be turned on by the maintenance guys. How do you even let that happen in a hotel full of guests?? Also it was always difficult to get the water to the right temperature, it took a lot of patience and moving of the handle from hot to cold and back again multiple times. We had to request for towels on our 3rd day, as the room was cleaned and they took all the dirty towels but forgot to give us new towels. The food was just ok but lacked variety especially for the kids. On a more positive side, the warm pool was really nice and kept the kids busy, Stacy was a gem and my kids always looked forward to spending time with aunty Stacy, the guy driving the tuk tuk to the beach was also very friendly and the restaurant manager too. Other than that, I would definetly not return to Blue Marlin as the rooms require a lot of maintenance, it simply accommodates kids as opposed to catering for kids and the tip of the bucket for me was the other lady who looked after the kids (Mpume), who was absolutely not accommodating at all and did not give me any comfort to leaving my kids with her.
