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.,

Fast to the port, perfect water. Both beach and walk in to the medium part. Water is very warm in this area which is perfect. Things i didn't like are the plastics in the water. But that is for the whole island. I think they need to get together and get all the plastics off the beach and out of the water throughout the island.

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!

Great location helpful and friendly staff
Friendly helpful staff. Wonderful location right on the beach.Only issue was on checking in the room did not have a fridge so they moved us to a room with a fridge however Air Con not good in that room so they moved us to a third room also with Broken Air Con. However after this they moved us to a beach front room which was more expensive for the same price so in the end we were extremely happy.

Great resort on remote island
Right in the beautiful beach with very friendly staff (especially at the restaurant)! Fantastic price for room and at the restaurant for dinner/drinks! Breakfast was very nice too! Jerry was able to coordinate our transportation too which was A+++. Couple of areas for improvement...AC couldn’t keep room cool enough and would only work when you were in the room (electric key card inserted)...personally I would rather be charged more $ and always have a cool room! Like many other reviews, we were accused of taking a $1 plastic coffee cup from the room at checkout. That is just absurd...stop accusing guests of theft as it leaves a bad taste after an otherwise wonderful experience and price in occasionally missing items to your nightly costs.
