Our stay at Blue Marlin Beach Resort was absolutely unforgettable! The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the service was impeccable, with warm and accommodating staff making us feel like part of the family. The diverse and delicious dining options were a highlight, but it was a bit tricky finding breakfast options that suited everyone’s taste. The location is stunning, right on the edge of the reef, perfect for snorkeling and diving. Overall, this place offers incredible experiences but could improve on expanding breakfast choices.

My family and I had an unforgettable adventure at Blue Marlin Beach Resort on South Water Caye. The island is stunningly beautiful, right on the barrier reef, making it perfect for diving and fishing. The staff were incredibly accommodating, especially with our four kids. Meals were delicious, with the catch of the day prepared fresh for us. The only downside was that I wished there were more organized activities would have enhanced our stay even further.
