The staff was absolutely wonderful. The room shows the age of the building for sure ( it was in need of misc. repair). Overall its a nice place and has plenty of amenities
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…
I have been going to Taino Beach and staying in the Marlin for several years now. The area is kept clean, the pool is magnificent and the staff is great. I will go back again.
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 The tv's are also extremely outdated.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.
Room furnitures are dated, TV in bedroom not straight, signal mattress on the bed worn out sheets on the bed are tin just pain old dated for the price that was charged.
Such a beautiful little hideaway spot!!! The ocean is right there! The pool is there with this amazing underwater bar, Alfie was ulterior best!! Visited twice now, and will be definitely coming back!! Love this little hideaway gem!!
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.
Awesome place , very convenient. Great staff and entertaining. Them People starting to feel like my new family .

Very nice beach. The property has seen better days, especially the room, seemed a bit underkept. It was low season but it almost seemed like the place was closed

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
No TV reception no internet except on lobby side no comfort shop cafe closes early must leave site for dinner beach is very nice pool is very nice most taxi need cash only area still recovering from hurricane and Covid several stores and functions not in operation.
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.
