I've stayed here, and the Cutty Sark (nearby). They are on par to be honest. They're both seaside hotels that date from a bygone era. Someone forgot to close them down. This one you have the added inconvenience of having to cross a railway line to get down to the beach, and the gate keeps strict and restrictive hours. Good... More

Be very careful, their security is not up to scratch at all, we were in an armed robbery with guns and knives, lives threatened and lots of belongings stolen, bank cards, cell phones, very traumatic experience, will not go again, 4 weeks later, lady was raped in this Hotel, after our incident so therefore they did not up their security

We stayed here for 10 nights, we found it to be comfortable, clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The pool and gardens were also kept clean and tidy, and yes it might be in need of a little tlc, but look beyond that and you will see a lovely hotel with lovely staff working there. The breakfast...

We had been to the Blue Marlin Hotel before and the kids loved it. We were going to the coast again so we thought we'd give the kids another stay at their "favourite" hotel. We now knew what to expect from our last stay. Again, the room was awful! Cupboard doors warped, bedside tables coming away from the head board,... More

Not sure how this could be a three star hotel. Booked for two nights, left after one night. Not well maintaned for many years. Staff the only postive attribute. Do yourself a favour: Avoid.

We had an unexpected one night stay at the Blue Marlin recently and thank god it was only for one night. There was a letter in the room from the owners saying that they know the hotel needs major updating but as they are now in the UK and in need of investors to help with the finances, they would...

I realise many British travellers have made use of the Blue Marlin Hotel for years but I honestly did not expect such incredibly basic rooms. The room that I stayed in had a sea view but wow talk about basic...No aircon just a ceiling fan and it was 34 degrees outside. The furniture is old and the blinds were so... More

Blue Marlin is now over 55 years old and has managed to retain the air of friendliness and high quality of true service that is no longer present in many hotels. The accommodation is perfectly adequate albeit basic. This is well reflected in the prices charged. I fully recommend the bed, breakfast and evening meal package. Food appeared to be... More

I have stayed at the Blue Martin a number of times. It is an excellent hotel, well managed, helpful staff, clean rooms, good food and very good value for the money. The surrounding area is great with many tours, lots to do & see. Good golf courses nearby. We have always seen Whales & Dolphins from the Hotel grounds. They... More
