Blue Marlin Hotel

Blue Marlin is the most unwelcoming place I have ever been! It is based at a wonderful location, but with their mediocre food, an overpriced menu, terrible service and a complete lack of care from the owners; this place is destined for failure! I highly recommend going next door to Salty Squid Restaurant for good food, great service, and that feeling of being a valued customer. We will not be returning!

The location of the hotel is very good, just in front of the beach, but it needs an urgent renovation, the room was big and had sea views, but the bathroom smelled very bad, they must have issues with the plumbing system.|The comon areas of the hotel, swming pool, sunbeds, etc looked old and poorly mantained.|Only the lobby area seemed ti have been recently renovated as well as the restaurant, the only thing among the waiters, that was really worth it.|The food was espectacular and the personnel really nice and welcoming.|If the owners of the hotel would invest in a real renovation of the place it could be a really amazing hotel to stay.

I had a reservation at this hotel but because of a bad accident i needed to cancel or postpone my reservation. I have been sending emails everyday, sent messages on WhatsApp, tried calling on WhatsApp, posted a message on the website and never got a single response. This is not a proper way to treat customers who have already paid for their reservation.

My Kenyan partner and I spent two very enjoyable days at The Blue Marlin. The location is stunning. The staff are friendly and attentive. The beers are cold. The food is good. What more could you wish for? For them to be dog friendly and they are! We took our two Chihuahua's who also had a great time. We kept them on their leads in the compound but they had the time of their lives running free on that perfect, endless beach. Thanks you Blue Marlin.

Very nice place. The staff and local waiters are very friendly and professional. On the other hand, definitely the owners are not friendly at all. I came more than 10 times in 1 year sometimes staying several weeks or days and they never came to say hello and never smiled. Prices have risen enormously, especially for rooms, from 100 dollars to over 450 dollars at certain times just 6 months later. The deckchairs, which used to be free for lunch and dinner guests, now cost almost $12. On the other hand, it's still a very pleasant place to swim or have lunch.

We had not visited for two years, following a very poor experience. Our meal was excellent. Fish and chips, (which caused our two year absence), and Thai Prawn Curry. Both were good sized portions, presented very well and tasted lovely. |Robert our waiter was attentive, always ensuring our drinks were full. Well done Blue Marlin - You are back and we will see you again soon.

We have been residents of Diani for six years and have eaten at Blue Marlin on many occasions. We returned today with friends after a two year absence due to an atrocious meal last time. After today, we will return again soon. It was Fabulous!|JoJo our waitress was attentive and efficient. |Fish and chips was fantastic and great value. |Thoroughly recommend.

We stayed here for 5 days, everyone was very kind, the rooms were always clean. Bath cosmetics are great, the bed is very comfortable and big. The rooms are large and have a great view. It has everything we needed. Thank you for everything. I recommend
