4 rooms in 8 hours because no airco or not water for shower. The "big boss" Luka is just busy whit new girls for the next night, and eat the best foods and cocktails for himself and his one night lover. The manager Eddy is only there when they call him for a problem. The fence off the balcony and the stairs are very dangerous because they almost finished in site full animals who eat the fences wood. The airco's full bacteriën they never cleaning. Breakfast very poor just old dry bread and only jam and egg. Lunch and dinner are poorest is had in the last year's. The rooms very wet climate and smell bad even the beds and pillow whit dark braun sheets colored. They cleaning only badrooms floors not the walls and windows. The cooker is always stoned about marihuana and can't right walking. All the workers and other people hanging in the bar or around the TV. The tv is so loud you can't read a book or just sit relaxed. Never I will go back there.

Firstly, there was no signpost even in near vicinity to direct me to the location. One is likely to move past it as there is no signboard facing the approach track (yes, a dirt track, there is no proper road) !!
Bathroom fittings are coming apart.
My room door wouldn't lock from outside, so it had to be left open and at the mercy of the hotel staff,along with all the valuables and passport inside!
Wifi signal was not reaching most rooms, an i had tough time uploading pictures to google drive even while sitting outside. The hotel staff agreed to change my room but not before half my stay was already over.
Food menu is inscrutable, being in italian. Besides the prices are unreasonably bloated (about three times the normal). Moreover, you have very few options for dining as all the restaurants in vicinity sell at inflated prices, and all of them are basically italian.
If you want to settle scores with a friend, recommend this place.

The first impression of Blu Marlin upon arrival seemed well. The beach and the pool are very nice, however there are some major shortcomings which are not just a nuissance but also a plain hazard.

1. Location: 25 $pp is too much for a single transfer. You can take a cab at Stone town for 15$ with more people.

2. The room appeared clean, but the water in the shower was salty and the sheets were dark. So there was no way of knowing if it is clean or not. The salty water is an issue, as you can never rinse clean unless you go into the swimming pool.

3. The food is not very good, but it was eadible... Until 7 persons including myself and boyfriend had a Major stomach flu for aprox. 5 more days. As the owner and his family were eating in their own house, they did not get ill. However the customers did, but were not taken seriously at all by the manager and owner. There was no compensation made for 5 days running to the bathroom of our 7 day holidays.

There was clearly a contamination of the food, and the response of the owner was just outrageous.

If you have a sensitive stomach, its better to stay away from blu Marlin. Otherwise just eat white rice.

4. Out of 7 days, we maybe had 2 hours of WiFi.
