“i read the reviews before i booked with the marlin, noted that past reviewers said it has dated rooms and facilities—its not dated. it was homey and everything is working. the big factor is the pool, it was clean and big and roomy, and the beach is clean, safe and well kept. the ferry service to port lucaya was excellent, you can have meals at port lucaya and be back gor more pool or beach fun. there is no wifi in rooms but just bought a mifi from aliv, works great. staff is super friendly. in pool bar service is superb, drinks are great. restaurant is great also, though it closes at 4pm. at least it gives you time to explore other options in port lucaya using the ferry :) will definitely come back with the kids and will recommend to friends and family. you will never go wrong with the marlin at taino beach.”

“My first time to the hotel and was happy but not satisfied. The room that I believe I booked online was not the room told when I checked in and discovered that the amenities in room was not there. Nothing. When attempting to get some assistance from front desk was told I have the option to either pay an additional $150 for upgrade or ...... after that, we chose to go to another hotel. Poor customer service. But we really did love the hotel.”
