Marlins Beach Resort offers a stunning location on Bantayan Island with beautiful sandy beaches and clear waters, perfect for a family getaway or romantic retreat. The atmosphere is quite pleasant, and the comfortable rooms with beach views enhance the experience. However, noise from nearby partying can be a downside, and there were some issues with room service during my stay. Overall, it's a nice escape but keep in mind the noise factor when booking.

I had a lovely stay at this beachfront resort. The breakfast spread was impressive, and the beach across the resort was beautiful with clear waters. The staff was genuinely friendly and helpful, arranging our bike rentals and boat trips. However, my room didn't have hot water, and the air conditioner had a minor issue during my first night. Overall, it's worth the price, but a few improvements would make it even better.

The resort had a beautiful setting and the rooms were basic yet clean, but there were some issues that really impacted our stay. The noise at night was excessive, and the way staff handled a towel incident was disappointing. While the beach was enjoyable, it was hampered by construction and litter. Overall, there are pros and cons that potential guests should weigh before booking.
