Blue Marlin Hotel

The rooms were okay but without a open window, unfortunately the experience was cheap and disappointing! They filled the filtered water dispenser only twice a day and only one dispenser was available for 25-30 rooms. One room filled up 12 bottles and used all the water, one morning. The staff refused to refill saying they only provided two bottles per day, and we would have to wait until 5pm to get drinkable water. Breakfast was rationed, with about three spoons of fresh fruit and one egg per person. They inspected the rooms on departure looking to charge for any dirty or sandy towels over and above their standard. This particular requirement was not informed in advance. One couple was charged $5 for a face cloth that they deemed too dirty. The hotel took full credit card details up front including security number (CCN). Two rooms of our group of four couples. One was dirty and the other was flooded. Did not allocate another room, but solution was covering the floor with towels to absorb the water. This hotel was cheap and a poor representation of the excellent service we had experienced throughout Peru, Equador and the Galapagos. I would highly recommend that you avoid this hotel. It ruined our stay significantly in The Galapagos where the people were kind helpful and tender. Not so the staff at this hotel. They were inflexible, rude and very cheap and stingy. Do yourself a favour and book another hotel.

We stayed for 2 nights recently - booked by Inspiring Vacations. This is boutique style accommodation and had a casual vibe. It has recently been renovated and the pool area is quite nice - although small. The room was freshly painted and clean, with good quality towels. Location is reasonable and not far to restaurants and shops. The bathrooms are still in original condition but were fine. The beds have not been replaced and were old. There was no safe, no fridge and no hairdryer - so the provision of these basic amenities are obvious areas for improvement (a hairdryer will be provided if you ask, although I didn’t realise there wasn’t one until I was dripping wet after a shower). The breakfast provided was simple, but nice enough. We were happy enough to stay here for 2 nights. The one thing that we were uncomfortable with was the very old glass bridge over the pool to access the 2nd floor. It did not feel structurally sound so I hope they have this inspected by an engineer regularly. Otherwise I’d be asking for a ground floor room!

Es un hotel alta gama pero los turistas que llegan a veces son muy bullisioso y la gente del hotel no les controla y nosotros que somos estudiantes necesitamos autoevalauarnos y no dejaron de hablar y estaban tomando en medio del lugar en las amacas que da mal prestigio al lugar
