We loved the Blue Marlin
Such a clean place and very reasonable. The food at the restaurant was so delicious! The beach was beautiful! But what made our stay so great, was the staff. They were so friendly, accommodating, and helpful. We really really loved staying here

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Right on the beach which was great, but very few loungers that could not accomodate the large number of guests. People would put thier belongings down at 7am to make sure they had a lounger. Rooms very large and quiet but are starting to be old. Could do with some renovations. Staff very friendly, but was asked for money twice by one waitress at breakfast times. Not a great way to start the relaxing day. We booked a seaview room with a balcony and upon check in were given a room with no balcony and that had a square inch view of the ocean. Evetually we were moved to what we had booked. Perhaps, a partial seaview room option for some of the rooms, would be more honest of the hotel. Great place to kitesurf.

Nice hotel with nice staff
Very nice place with great staff and amazing food! Only inconvenience: All sun beds get reserved every morning by kite surfers who hardly use them but block them for everyone else for the whole day. We didn't get a sun bed even once during our whole stay! Also swimming is not great because of all the kite surfers.

Nice small sized hotel right on the beach with amazing view and a lovely breeze. Large room with one double bed and a single bed fitted me and my daughters. With airconditioning and a terrace with sea view it was perfect.

Close to the beach, Friendly staff, good food
Was a very comfortable and nice room and was air conditioned. It didn't look like the pictures online and the bathrooms didn't have shower curtains and the water was salty through the faucets. The restaurant staff was very nice and made a menu for us specifically for special diets. The view from the hotel was great and it is very close to the beach which was very nice and secluded. The glass bottom boats that were there were very nice as well!

Fijn restaurant. A la carte met voldoende keuze. Goede wijn. Kamer zo’n 30m2. Lekker bed. Fijne inloopdouche. Het team werkt rustig en vriendelijk. Aanrader voor als je een kleiner rustig hotel zoekt. Mooi gelegen direct aan strand.

Ruhiges und schönes Hotel direkt am Strand
Das Blue Marlin Beach Hotel ist genau das richtige Hotel, wenn man Ruhe, guten Komfort, sehr gutes Essen (zumindest das vegetarische - Fleisch haben wir nicht probiert), Sauberkeit, sehr nette und freundliche Atmosphäre direkt am wunderschönen Strand erleben möchte. Sollte es uns wieder nach Mombasa ziehen, dann gehen wir sicher wieder ins Blue Marlin Beach!!
