Original booking was for 3 nights in a deluxe garden view room. Arriving a day early we tried to add an additional night using AGODA. Tried ringing the hotel direct. Both failed. We could only book an additional night in a deluxe sea view room. We were disappointed to find that our deluxe garden view room (#21) was empty the night we spent in the deluxe sea view room. This meant 1 night in 1 room then move everything to the new room for the next 3 nights. The sea view room was superior. The resort is in a good location with terrific staff. I had read TA reviews about the hotel charging guests for staining towels and linen. You must sign a written agreement upon check-in about the fees they charge for stains and damage. I photographed the linen (with holes) and towels (threadbare) just in case. Inconsiderate guests were too loud in the passage way outside the rooms. Earplugs are needed.…
Hotel is nice…. Staff was accommodating… little issues Were .. TV not working… beach was under construction Ocean was filled with trash… seems like a lot of plastic .. Had good security… Restaurant overpriced compared to the area.. They could use a pool to compete with the near by hotels … The noise(Music?) from a nearby bar was unbelievably loud till 11-12 pm … Breakfast was adequate…
Marlin’s Beach Resort is one of the best front beach resort in Santa Fe. The location was superb and in town! There was 7 of us and we all loved our experience. The staffs are all very happy, cheerful, polite, helpful. Especially Ate Jane and Ate Tetchie. This hotel has exceeded its range level. In our experience, Marlin’s Resort is worth more than what we paid for.
This was our first destination on Bantayan, because Cebu Pacific stuffed us around on our flights we only stayed one night initially before moving on, but, after seeing the accommodation of our next booking we came back to Marlins When it comes to experiences you have when travelling the location is only one ingredient, the staff and/or people you meet are a bigger part in my opinion and the people that work at Marlins are a credit to the resort and to the industry, i like to think we came away from our stay here with more friends than we started with When we come back to Bantayan we will be staying here exclusively like some other guests we met, it's that good The food is brilliant, who thought you would get a salad nicoise that is 2nd only to one I had in France on Bantayan and all their seafood dishes are simply superb Just book here, you will not be disappointed…
Beautiful unspoilt resort. Very friend staff and management. Highly recommend . We had room on ground level which was on beach . Security very good too. Close enough to island hopping and market. Nice restaurants in a few minute walk. Dont waste time and $ at other joints
Banatayan Island is no doubt a quaint paradise. My recent visit is not too crowded because of the COVID scare. I was lucky enough to have been able to book a room at Marlins because the day we arrived the resort is packed with Police officers on team building. The best thing about the resort are the employees - the guards, the room attendants, the reception, the waitresses are all super nice and attended to our every need. I can’t complain too much about the room because it was adequate for the price we paid. The water heater was not working but we did not ask for it to be fixed because we don’t really need a heater in the middle of summer. The resort is just a 2 minute walk from the town square so you can definitely find a place to eat and everything you ever needed. The beach and ocean front property is stunning. Bantayan Island and Marlins will always have a special place in my heart.…
Fantastic location on the beach, very nice rooms. Good restaurant and very friendly staff. The beach is incredible. I had 5 fantastic days with friends. If you want a nice quiet place to retriet this is the place. Highly recommended.
Food was disgusting. I ordered chicken wings. When it was received it was in such bad spoiled and uncooked condition. It was then taken away and recooked. I had diarrhea for days. I ignored it and paid for the order and ate somewhere else. Never again will I eat here. But I will still stay at this resort.
My friend and I had a wonderful stay at this resort! The property is beautiful -- the photos don't do it justice! We had a gorgeous view and the beach is the most well kept on the strip in my opinion. We sprung for the ocean-front room and it was definitely worth it :) The location is also SO convenient as we were on the main strip of beach but also around the corner from the restaurant/bar scene. I highly recommend asking the hotel staff to arrange "island hopping," as bopping over to Virgin Island was one of my favourite days of our trip! The staff was very accommodating -- we did not book in advance but they were able to secure rooms for us and made us feel very welcomed! Although I would recommend advanced booking if you are secure with your plans :) The breakfast was also great! The only thing I would say wasn't perfect about this resort was the wifi as it would go in and out, but hey, a super small price to pay for a beautiful resort! And it was nice to be unplugged for the most part. Overall, I would recommend this resort and we had a wonderful time! Thank you, Marlins!…
Really recommendable! We stayed there for 6 days. The service was awesome and very lovely. The food was amazing and they made every wish come true... Also the area where the hotel is located was perfect. It’s directly close to the center of the town and just 1 minute by walk where you can find lots of bars and restaurants. That means it’s near by “everything”, but on the other hand not too much in the middle of Santa Fe, because otherwise it would get too noisy with all the karaoke bars around ;) Thanks to everyone for this beautiful stay in the resort! We were very happy and come back again for sure when we are on Bantayan Island. Take care and see you next time ☺️ All the best and happy new year!! Jasmin & Linus
