One on Marlin Resort

Literally everything about this place is amazing! Adults only. Quiet. Amazing staff that go above and beyond to help and make your stay as best as can be. Wenie communicated well with quick replies before our arrival despite the time difference, gave really good tips and advice. Suzanne who looks after One on Marlin guests so helpful and friendly. Best Housekeeping we've ever experienced. Thank you Meme. Daily cleaning and linen change. She makes the bed perfectly and is so proud of the job she does. Even washed up a few bits we left in the sink the one day we didn't do it before leaving the apartment. Jeffrey, who drives the shuttle cart and looks after the sunbeds/umbrellas on Grace Bay is so lovely and helpful. In fact all the staff there are happy, friendly and such a lovely atmosphere. Spacious. Here’s some info…. *Super comfy bed – I have a back problem and am careful on accommodation I book. So no issues here at all. *Very very clean – spotless. *Kitchen utensils. Washing up liquid land sponge. Cloth Kitchen towel to dry dishes. *Paper kitchen towel. *Microwave, induction hob, fridge freezer. *Cool box. *Iron and ironing board. *Powerful hairdryer. *Loads of storage space and drawers. *In room Safe. *Beach towels *Dispensing Soap, lotion, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. My skin is sensitive and used all except shampoo and conditioner without any problems. Smelt nice. *Beach chairs although bring your own or a beach mat as the ones we used didn’t close easily after using…got stuck due to sand / salt rusting the metal. Pretty central location…7 mins drive to Grace Bay and Smiths Reef. Sister hotel that has the pool is 3 mins drive. They have shuttle between the hotels and Grace Bay beach – where there are sunbeds and umbrellas. Accommodation are in two story blocks. There are no lifts and check if they have accessible apartments available before you book. Plenty of parking. Any issues we found were immediately rectified without hesitation. Good food at the sister hotel’s Restaurant ‘Kokomo’ as well as amazing rum punches. The best we had on the island! Recommend a car if you want to go to beaches and have the flexibility to travel around the island. They drive on the left but weirdly some rental cars have the steering wheel on the left too! If you’re looking for a serviced apartment with independence and tranquillity, this is the place to book! After going around the island, I still think this is the best place for the price and standard of accommodation.

We enjoyed our time at this hotel! It really is very quiet and relaxing, and fairly centrally located on the island. The rooms were clean and quiet so I never heard other guests when we were inside, other than when the adjoining room opened or closed the front door. (We stayed in room 1061.) The kitchen is fully stocked and we were able to make simple meals to save some money. I also love that they give you a cooler to bring to the beach. Speaking of, the Bight portion of Grace Bay Beach was a very quick 5 minute drive with ample parking, umbrellas, and lounge chairs. It's next to another property that has a bar and restaurant if you get hungry/thirsty. So really it had everything we needed. We didn't get a chance to use the pool/hot tub at the sister hotel Kokomo, but it looked lovely and we did eat at the We Market Cafe, which was good. The host Suzanna was really great--she was very friendly, helpful, generous and responsive. You don't technically need a car to stay here, as there is a shuttle, though I'm glad we had one so we could go to the supermarket, explore other beaches and not have to be picked up for activities like snorkeling, etc. But if you just plan on hitting the beach for the most part you'd probably be fine without a car. If I could make any adjustments it would be a solid, rather than a slat door for the bathroom, for privacy and so you don't wake the other person up if you have to use the bathroom in the middle of the night.

My first impression when we drove into the resort was what a beautiful garden! then the room was absolutely beautiful and the bed and pillows were very soft and comfortable. Suzanna was a great host, What a wonderful person! I had great adventures finding baby turtles and saving baby birds The staff and taxi drivers also very accommodating and polite. Would definitely come back again whenever I get a chance. Me and Suzanna became good friends and Rico too.

Great rooms and service. Shuttle to beach is convenient and in-room kitchen is prepared for light cooking and food storage. Staff even brought clothing we left behind to the airport after we forgot it. Transport to the sister resort, Kokomo is also available for free, and that location has good food options for all meals.

The room was beautiful and all the staff at One on Marlin went above and beyond. They greeted us with tropical punch and decorated our honeymoon suite with lovely fresh flowers. Suzannah made great recommendations for food and activities and helped us book an amazing massage at the sister resort Kokomo (so good my wife fell asleep!) When we needed a few more minutes to finish breakfast one morning, the beach shuttle waited for us. When we came back, we found that Meme, the cleaning staff, had washed our dishes in addition to the usual room service! Don’t hesitate to book your amazing getaway here!

I loved everything I had an amazing time with my significant other. Suzanna was great and a lot of help with us getting around where we needed to go an safely. Nancy and Jeffrey we also appreciated them also. I would definitely refer them to friends and family.
