มาร์ลินส์ บีชรีสอร์ท

it‘s really a nice place. the stuff keep everything clean and take care of their guests.

We had a very nice seaview room, our terrace had a fantastic beach /seaview. The room is big, the aircon is quiet. It was quiet inside the resort. During weekend evening , we could hear the live music from the neighborhood restaurant of other hotels . But IT was ok for us, since it ends around 11p.m. The staff are all friendly and the owner, German/Filipina couple are very accomodating & friendly. Marlins Beach Resort is located on the central part of Santa Fe, Bantayan. It is only a few minutes walk to MJ Square, where the restaurants,bars and shops are located. We had a delicious breakfast with a nice beachview in there restaurant located directly on the beach. All in all, we were satisfied and will be coming back again, the next time we'll visit Bantayan.

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…

We stayed here foe a wedding on the island. We loved the location. You are literally on the beach. We had a room with a balcony facing the ocean. it was gorgeous. The only negative, the loud people on the beach at 3am. So rude!! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was great too. Thanks for an awesome stay!

I prefer to start with the less than satisfactory and build on what we can. First, upon entering the room I turned on the tv as we have a little one and her entertainment is paramount for everyone to have a good day. Well, the tv had problems, it could not pickup a simple station and unless you gave it a shake, there was no video feed from the cable box. Upon further inspection, the HDMI input on the tv looked to be rusted. At the reservation, it was made for my immediate family, less minute changes included a guest, my sister-in-law. The front desk was made aware and they said that additional breakfast (made for 2, now would be 3 if all of us took part) at the end of a 5 day reservation, we were welcomed with a p4750 bill for the 3rd breakfast. While I would have had no issue with the additional guest, that is not how it was explained and in fact, I never had breakfast with the family, instead I had morning coffee every morning down the street. So I did not anticipate such an expense on check out. Now the important issue: At the time of this review, we are 3 days removed from our stay. My daughter participated at the beach, building sand castles, and just playing in the sand as a 3 year old would. My daughter developed terrible itching in her private areas on the 2nd day of our 5 day stay. IT IS STILL ONGOING as we will search for LOCAL medical attention for her. DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN BEACH/SAND activities, this is a known issue apparently and NO ONE has a medical solution in Santa Fe. As for the good, the hotel was clean, the views were nice and the staff, with the exception of surprise fees, were very nice, friendly, and professional. Do I think it was worth the stay? Tough to say, it is a nice place, but if that sand issue is not corrected, I would not stay here again.
