Staff was exceptional from check in to restaurant, to housekeeping. Food was OK, drinks menu OK. The kids had a blast and that would probably the only reason I’d come back for another stay. ##### Derek Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer 11 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great family hotel.

The pool though was not at its best. On Room service requests you need to pay R20 for someone to bring something to your room. The staff where friendly and their rooms where cleaned at ol time.. Breakfast don't have a lot of variety . ##### Thimu Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### David 3 Feb 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was not even close to why we expected . The rooms were very basic and not well maintained . The facilities were sub par and the staff ( with very few exceptions ) were not at all interested in assisting or being friendly . We received limited information about what to do and what the facilities were . I rarely write bad reviews but we ended up leaving half way through our stay and they were not even interested as to why . We forfeited two night ( and we had two rooms ) it was so bad . ##### David Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kavitha 18 Jan 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A very disappointing stay. Been to Blue Marlin in 2022 it was an unforgettable experience and fast became a firm favourite as a family get away. We were astounded by the food and service. We highly reccommended this resort to our family and friends. Our recent visit was shockingly and dismally disappointing. The food was below average especially for the price. The majority of workers were reluctant to serve us and took our drink menu after we had already completed our meals. Our bed had no sheets on them. The bar could not serve us even though we were enjoying the pool. We were asked to place orders at the resturant. There was no music playing at the bar killing the ambience. The pressure in the shower was so low bathing became uncomfortable barely getting enough water. Unfortunately we will not be recommending this place and maybe we will return when the standards resume to what we had experienced previously. ##### Kavitha Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Devarani 1 Jan 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A holiday ruined by drunk guest and aggressive GM On December 27, 2023, when we checked into the Blue Marlin Hotel, we were allocated to room 303 on the 3rd floor, directly opposite room 301, a self-catering unit. There was already a party in session in 301 when we checked in just after 2 p.m. after dinner, about 9:30 p.m., the party carried on with the noise getting louder due to the guests being drunk. I called reception and complained several times, the security came up struggled to get them to stop, Eventually they did but became angry and upset with us for closing or ending there party, 20 minutes later, the guest from 301 banged and kicked our door waking up my children in fear, they were screaming and shouting for us to open the door, I refused and called for the duty manager, he asked us not leave and stationed a security outside our room. My kids were scared and afraid cried to go home, when I approached the hotel the next morning for a refund due to events that had taken place the previous night, the GM refused us a refund and forced us to take a room that was a downgrade from room 303, the GM of the hotel verbally and almost physically abused us, the GM of this hotel had chased us out several times, almost using the "f" word, but I realized that my husband was recording the conversation. He forced us to take another room because he wouldn't approve a refund; he made me cry continuously and felt no empathy for the fear that was inflicted upon my children the night before. The GM was truly heartless and rude. ##### Devarani Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gary 22 Mar 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beach getaway What a great break with the family, awesome venue with great friendly staff environment. ##### Gary Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### JL 4 Jan 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### great enjoyable stay Great service, friendly staff.

There was access to sanitizers all over the hotel. The breakfast was too basic for me though. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marius 31 Oct 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Enjoyed our stay, friendly staff and overall good service. ##### Marius Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Shane 8 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great views and position Overall we had a very good stay, would go again.

The room was terrible, small bathroom and shower. Very disappointed. Please can you load my point since they refused to refund.

A most enjoyable stay as usual. Unfortunately the hotel is needing a little general maintenance and TLC. Scottburgh general area looking rather littered and run down. Staff very accommodating and friendly. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janine 21 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service I booked this for my parents as my Dad had his 70th birthday and they were absolutely thrilled, staff also went to extra trouble and made their stay memorable.
