Blue Marlin Hotel

Brand new room after upgrade very nice and comfortable, great views. Excellent service, good food. Enjoyable stay thank you.

What an experience. We got there on Saturday afternoon after friends of mine asked us to join them although we were booked for the weekend at San La Meer! We cancelled our 1 night with San La Meer and went there. If I knew then what I know now I would have stayed in San La Meer. We got there had to park away from the entrance. Yes we were expecting renovations but this is terrible. How can they let people stay there? You walk past about 30 rooms in which they are working, there is no windows or any doors. The wind was blowing like mad. Contractors with wheelbarrows walking past you in the passage. Electric cables lying on the floors in water. Any building inspectors dream. When we got to our room, last one in the passage, we were also stunned. Old furniture which was painted white. 2 single beds in the room. I honestly don’t know. The windows are dirty when you look out of the window even the garden looks terrible. The train line is by your window and there it looks even more terrible. We did not stay. To pay R1040.00 for a place for us to sleep under these circumstances is unacceptable. Blue Marlin can learn from San La Meer where we paid R 880.00 for the night and had a wonderful time.

Staff service and friendliness were outstanding! The food was good and enough. Unfortunately the rooms were a big letdown! The rooms carpets had a mouldy smell, the mattresses were not up to standard. Overall I got the feeling that the furniture dated back to 1970"s

Hotel under renovations. First room we were given had a serious water problem - dark brown tap water. Moved to another room. Had filthy bathroom curtains falling off the rail and plastic dustbin with missing lid. Carpets grubby. Floor tiles sticky from soap. Beds clean and comfortable. Service fair. Had to pay R200 refundable deposit for a tv remote, R100 for a hairdryer and R50 for a gate key to access the beach. Breakfast adequate. Do not stay there until renovations are complete. At the price of plus minus R1040 per night for a room for 2 people, its just not good enough!

The Hotel is busy with alterations and we were not informed, very happy with our room, the food Restaurant, not what we were used to, they obviously also busy with changes, buffet no variety.

We only stayed one night and although the hotel is very old and the rooms are all over the place. We found the staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was served and very nicely. Love the fact that there is a cute little pub right there too.

The most horrible, worndown hotel, we have ever visited! Incompetent management, who did not know, what they have offered!

A really wonderful experience. The staff were amazing, the food was good and the accommodation was clean and comfortable. Just one small problem was the outside appearance of the premises that need urgent attention.
