The Marlin at Taino Beach Resort

Between unfriendly front desk check in, no internet available in the room, sand on the floor of our room on check in, no heat in our room( there was a cold snap), many cupboard doors did not fully close, no dish cloths or a tea towel, no hangars, no bottle opener in the room, no food available on site after 3 pm. AC unit in ceiling dripped and noisy- this resort is not up to RCI standards. The Ocean building is closed due to prior storm damage. On a positive note the pool and the beach were very nice.

ok

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.

We enjoyed our stay in June 2025, but the hot tub was not working and the hours for the resturant closes @ 6pm? The grotto bar closes @ 4 pm? As for the room comfortable enough for me and my husband, we noticed the ac register was leaking look up and seen MOLD!! Reported it to front desk no one came to address the issue? When we returned home my husband became very ill with Legionella pneumonia caused by the mold in the ac register! To top everything else no WIFI was not informed of this until we arrived. We will diffently check all ac units from now on where ever we stay.

Our room was ok the couch needed to be replaced as it has been well loved. The coffee table was the same way, scratched up with veneer peeling. The television didn't work well and was all fuzzy, we did not have a remote for the living room TV. The remote to the bedroom tv would not turn it on or off or adjust the volume but you could change the channels with it again picture was all fuzzy. We had a full kitchen; we cooked most of our own meals only ate at restaurant 1 time, it closed at 6pm everyday as did the swim up bar in the pool area. Property needs some work done to it, paint peeling, Some of the buildings are closed right now and there were no signs of construction/updates being done. Staff was nice Big Momma is an absolute gem and graciously took us to a gas station when we arrived with her own car so we could get some food and drinks for the night because the bar and restaurant were already closed. Groceries there are expensive, and they only shuttle you to the grocery store on Sun & Mon. you have to get a taxi if you need to go at other times. They offer a shuttle to Lucaya market every hour on the hour, go early in the day that is when most booths at flea market are open. If its after 2pm don't bother most things will be closed.

It was nice

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 unit was great and the people were wonderful. The only issued that I had was that the pool was only clean the first day I was there.

This “resort” needs some serious work. I was very disappointed when I got there to find out that there was no internet and no television…… 📺 . I think they should let the guess know that before they get there. The first night it was like I night in a horror movie. The bed was terrible the refrigerator was rusted, the microwave was missing the top part and the bathroom was disgusting.

I highly recommend this resort, beautiful beaches and pool. The resort is clean and well maintained. Friendly staff.
