The beach access and beautiful location made for a really enjoyable stay, and I hope to return when the lift renovations are finished. We booked off season, so the resort was quiet and it was easy to use the facilities. The all inclusive deal was well worth it. Pools were clean, and service at the bars was good. The rooms were exceptional, though the shower was odd: either there was barely any pressure or no cold water, so I had to leave the tap on cold to get a warm shower. The buffet was average. Breakfast had a nice selection and was good; lunch and dinner were okay, though some dishes came back from lunch at supper or the next day. The curries, chow mein, pastas, and pizza were worth trying, but pizza was mostly on the kids' buffet. Lifts were under renovation, so we had to use the stairs. Service from reception through the adventure desk was good. The manager was especially good, checking in on us and making sure we had the food we wanted.

Everything was taken care of in the package, and our family plans to make Blue Marlin our vacation home. We’d never had a holiday where our bank cards were basically useless! There are different packages to suit everyone, with very reasonable prices, so we highly recommend the resort if you want good value. We had one of our best experiences at Blue Marlin All-Inclusive Seascape By Dream Resorts. The staff were amazing across dining, daily activities, and the bar, and worked together so well you couldn’t tell who was senior or junior. The food was incredible, and our room was cleaned perfectly every day. The beautiful, relaxing location made the trip extra special. A big thank you to all the staff at Blue Marlin. Candice and Shu will definitely see you again soon.

The first part of our five-day holiday was a real disappointment, especially since I’d been looking forward to it for my wife's birthday. The booking we’d made months earlier wasn’t properly logged, so after a long drive we had to wait while they took our details again. Then our room door lock wouldn’t work. A bell hop said he’d sort it and told me to go for lunch, but after we’d been to the beach and had dinner, the door was still broken. The reception number on the website didn’t work, so we walked the length of the hotel. They gave us another key, which also failed. Close to 23.00, maintenance said they’d have to open the door with a manual key. The staff treatment after that was terrible. Nobody fixed the lock. They eventually said a technical officer would come first thing, but after several calls and two requests for feedback that went unanswered, we didn’t get out until after 10h00 and missed the 7h30 to 9h30 breakfast. We were told breakfast would still be served because the delays were their fault, but were charged for a buffet and got leftovers: mince, dried bacon, cheese melted on a tomato, an egg, and croissants. There was no yogurt, fruit, toast, juice, or jam. We were still waiting for an apology or even an excuse. For the price, I expected better service, clear communication, and a customer-friendly way to resolve problems promptly. Some staff tried to help, but seemed to have no authority, and no manager was around. It felt like there was no accountability or plan. I was ready to tell everyone to stay away. Update on 22 February 2026: Later on our second day, manager Bruce spoke with my wife and me about the mistakes on their side and made an honest effort to fix things and improve our stay at the Blue Marlin. He covered one of our meals, spoke with us daily, and suggested attractions and events. I also found more staff willing to engage and help make the stay a good one. We all make mistakes, and sometimes things line up to complicate them further. What matters is taking responsibility and correcting them, and I applaud Bruce and the Blue Marlin team for that. The rest of our stay was very good, and my wife and I left on Friday refreshed and feeling much more positive. It started badly but ended on a high note. Thanks Bruce 😊.

Our stay at Blu Marlin All-Inclusive was extremely disappointing. The spa was advertised as included, but was always fully booked, so guests couldn’t use it. What’s the point of calling it all-inclusive if the services aren’t accessible? In hindsight, a better hotel with meals out would have been cheaper and more enjoyable than this so-called all-inclusive stay, which felt like a complete scam. Service was painfully slow, the food was below average, and overall the service was distasteful and far below what the price led us to expect. One bartender was especially rude. I asked him not to touch the mouthpiece of a Coke can, but he forcefully tried to open it with his fingers right on it, which was extremely unhygienic. Other guests were served without hassle or the same treatment, which felt unfair and uncomfortable. The drinks tasted nothing like the liquor they were supposed to be. My partner and I both felt sick and nauseous after only two drinks, at the same time, which is concerning. This was my most disappointing experience yet!

Our honeymoon at Blue Marlin was pure magic, and the staff’s warmth and professionalism made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We especially loved our first surfing lesson with Ricardo. His patience and expertise had us riding waves in no time, and it was an absolute blast. The all-inclusive package had an incredible variety of food and drinks, and we never felt we were missing out. The welcome note, sunset dinners, and all the thoughtful attention made the trip unforgettable. We’ll be back every year, same time and place. For a dreamy getaway, I’d recommend it 10/10. #BlueMarlin #ParadiseFound
