Marlins Beach Resort

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.

We loved our stay at marlins beach resort. The rooms were clean and spacious. The beach was so close and could get a deck chair to relax in at anytime of the day. But especially the best thing was the staff, they were so helpful and kind and made our stay free and easy. I also thought the hotel had the best location to bars and restaurants and the shops you can walk to everything Would definitely recommend this place and would love to return there one day.

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…

Everything about this resort is perfect, from spotless clean room and linens to friendly and approachable staff it really feels that you are in one the 5 star hotels in Bantayan. We also enjoyed the bar, their breakfast buffet and live band Marivel the singer and her husband were amazing entertainers😊We will surely comeback to Marlin's❤️more power to this resort.

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.

Marlin’s Beach Resort is one of the best front beach resort in Santa Fe. The location was superb and in town! There was 7 of us and we all loved our experience. The staffs are all very happy, cheerful, polite, helpful. Especially Ate Jane and Ate Tetchie. This hotel has exceeded its range level. In our experience, Marlin’s Resort is worth more than what we paid for.
