There is still some construction going on but it didn't bother us, breakfasts was sufficient, no issues with hot water. Only reason why I didn't rate 5 stars was that toilet wasn't flushed when we checked in which made me question cleaning procedures. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shaina Jan 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Loved it Very kind staff, daily maid service, and beautiful terrace ##### Shaina Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MARY ANNE Jan 3, 2024 #### Great hotel in San Cristobal Convenient location, spacious rooms, very friendly and helpful staff.

Some comments below were talking about construction and lack of hot water. We did not face these issues. We were a family of 4 and stayed in their 1 bedroom apartment. I did not notice any construction taking place, maybe its all done. And their was no shortage of hot water for a family of 4.

Loud, don't get fool. Terrible service. They charge me more than what I had on my reservation with no notice. I had to pay whatever they asked or they won't give me a room. Hot tub is not hot. I ask for an extra towel an extra blanket and of course they didn't have it. And the front desk lady said "in 10 years no one have ever ask them for an extra blanket" All the rooms are facing a social area which is very loud. One night we couldn't sleep any longer that 6.20am because you can here people chatting in the breakfast area. Don't get fool by the nice pictures. ##### stephany Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### zhao Mar 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service I normally don’t write reviews but now I feel propelled to say something. This hotel appears nice and clean. It is right at the city center. However the staff is not friendly. The girl who worked on the weekend could care less about what you need. When I wanted to leave the key there when I was going for a swim, she refused to take my room key in the reception. When I have WiFi problem in my room, she says it works on her phone and nobody had complained except me therefore she refused to help. The kitchen staff would not serve me when I told them I’m in a hurry to go to a morning program. They would serve everyone else first even though I was the first to arrive the kitchen. ##### zhao Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Johana Jul 5, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The only convenient thing about Blue Marlin Hotel was the location. You can definitely find places to eat and visit around this area but please do yourself a favor and don’t go there. The pictures may seem decent but the customer service we received was terrible. The lady at front desk (owner) was unprofessional, she had an attitude and charged us $25 for a towel we never took. On the other hand, the cleaning staff took a towel that belonged to us and we had to wait two days for them return it. We felt uncomfortable in the facilities not only for the terrible customer care but mostly due to the poor cleanliness of the rooms and common areas such as the pools, the dinning area and the social area. The room we stayed in was filthy, with stained carpets/mats and dirty linens. The bed sheets and pillows smelled really bad. The bathrooms towels and floor mats were old and stinky too. The bathtub had humidity stains all around it. You can actually see the fungus/mold all over it. The dining experience was terrible as well. Breakfast is included but it is not worth it at all, unless you want to have hotdogs in ketchup sauce for breakfast. The fruits, coffee and butter with jelly did not taste fresh. The pool was freezing cold and they never turned on the whirlpool. We were told that we had to let them know two hours ahead for they to turn it on and when we did ask for it, they said they only keep it on until 5pm very day. So we never got to use it. Totally ridiculous! ##### Johana Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Aleks Feb 17, 2024 Disliked: Staff & service We stayed at this hotel for 6 nights. The room we had was very large with a separate bedroom which was nice. There was a tv in the bedroom but not in the main room which was strange. Our bedroom faced the street and the streetlight cast a lot of light into our room. The curtains are not adequate to darken the room. Breakfasts were minimal and the same day after day. Small bowl of fruit, an egg, piece of meat and cheese. Bun was sometimes fresh. The pool is nice- the hot tub is not hot and the jets didn’t work. Hotel has a good location-very walkable to restaurants etc. There is an amphitheatre across the street where events were held almost nightly-very loud and went on until 2 am at times so sleep was difficult. Single pane windows made it seem like there were no windows at all for sound. Staff was hit and miss. Housekeepers were friendly. Breakfast staff were mostly ok but got the feeling from some that we were a nuisance. The front desk attendant that was there mostly in the afternoons was not pleasant and helpful. When asked for towels, I was told right away and it took over an hour. When I asked for toilet paper I was told maybe tomorrow, as I hadn’t actually run out. I did run out and took the empty roll down-she told me maybe tomorrow. I let her know that was not good enough. She said someone was out buying it and there was none left in the hotel because other guests had asked for it. Anyhow she did end up procuring a roll and delivering it to the room. ##### Aleks Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Wendy Jul 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Mi estadía estuvo bien. Mi habitación era la más cara y tenía mucho espacio. La gente en recepción se portó amable lo cual fue agradable pero el personal de la cocina no lo fue tanto. La comida del desayuno es por ración y cuando pedí algo extra para mi hijo de 10 años, me lo negaron. No proporcionan toalla para llevar a la playa y cuesta $3 dólares alquilar una por día. El hotel tiene un buen potencial pero mientras no cambien sus políticas para hacer sentir a sus huéspedes que el cliente tiene que ser tratado con excelencia en todo momento.. no atraerá la cantidad de turistas que podría conseguir. ##### Wendy Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jeffery Jul 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Didn’t care for breakfast, Not made to order, they bring you a cooked egg and a piece of bacon or a pancake. Small bowl of chopped fruit. Marginal coffee. Usually 4 to 6 people over the course of an hour so not sure what the three woman were there for ##### Jeffery Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karla Denise Jun 10, 2025 ##### Karla Denise Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### sharyn Jun 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service The Good - clean, centrally located, large room/bathroom, ok bed, breakfast included, quite nice pool. The Bad - no fridge, staff not available to help lug suitcase up and down 2 flights of stairs, breakfast very basic, slippery tiled floors, towels for rent at $US5 day not communicated, a bit challenging if you don’t speak Spanish. ##### sharyn Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pauli May 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hermoso lugar, esperamos volver pronto! ##### Pauli Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### TERESA May 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### TERESA Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Debbie Apr 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Island lost power while we were there so we had no air conditioning and windows didn’t open. Otherwise it was great. ##### Debbie Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025
