Place needs a lot of work done, many things were on their last leg…staff were ok but receptionist or front desk staff really need to learn how to smile and just be happy. Housekeeping, maintenance and activities were all friendly and helpful. Place has a lot of potential…

The place is 5 stars. The room is spacious. Kitchen are fully equipped. A/C is nice. The pool, slide, mini falls, and the pool bar is also a plus. However, the restaurant closes early and there are no convenience stores/vending machines nearby. Had to drive to the nearest store/restaurant. Apart from that, everything is perfect.

The property looks great, the staff is helpful and accomadating but there are some issues that could definitely be easily fixed. The pool is ipen longer than the slide which is crazy. Check in is at 3 but the slide closed at 4 and the pool at 6?? Was told to check out at 10 but sat in the parking lot ajd saw multiple people checking out at 11. So im guessing that 10 is for locals and 11 for foreigners? The tv's are also extremely outdated. The one's at their lesser hotel are bigger and more up to date.

The entire staff at the Marlin was in a word "Phenomenal"! Traveling the entire Caribbean for over 50 years, we find the Bahamians the most friendliest people ever! We love the interactions with them as they always are quick with a smile, and making you laugh. A special "thank you" to K,C. who works the front gate security as I had the privilege of talking to and learning so much more of the history of Grand Bahama Island! Thank you all so much, we will return.

I didn’t like that the pool wasn’t heated as we basically booked it for the pool experience. Also, the water taxi was broken, which was another reason for choosing this property

The location next to a gorgeous beach was great, the property itself was extremely dated. The most disappointing element of the stay was the poor concierge. The woman running the desk was very unhelpful and unknowledgeable about local excursions, bike rentals etc. and No WiFi in the room! Ughh

When we got there the room wasn’t ready;however, the front desk service clerk was very nice and accommodating. She didn’t everything within her power to get us to our room within an hour. The room I stayed in AC was leaking so we had to change rooms in the middle of the night; however, they did allow us a late checkout to compensate.

The pool and slide are awesome but the floor of the pool made it look dirty. Didnt like the tv was static could hardly view and internet service only at restaurant and around pool and lobby and also internet is really slow so people can’t do important work over internet in a timely fashion. Really important to get faster internet and available in rooms for me to come back to resort. Worst RCI resort i have ever been to. If they would update property would be awesome place.

Disappointed

Horrible check in experience. After traveling for 14 hours we just wanted to get to our room and relax. We were instead directed to not one but two different areas to be sold a Time Share then several excursions. We were not allowed to get our room key until we sat through these sales pitches. After about another 45 minutes, we were able to make it to the room where it was extremely disappointing. The room was old, dirty and dated. I attempted to access the room safe but I was not working. The Fridge was not working either and was old and dirty, I stepped on a piece of glass that had not been properly swept up or cleaned. We asked twice for a service technician to fix the fridge, but he never came. We were finally moved the next day to another room that was not much better. All bad from there.
