My family and I had a spectacular stay at this hotel. Situated in the hills with a beautiful view of the calm Scottbrough ocean, which is ideal for swimming and surfing. The meals were scrumptious and cooked to perfection. The pool bar offered a large variety of drinks. It was so pleasant to swim in a freshly clean pool. The hotel offered miniature golf and a small playground for the children to burn their energy. There was even a pizza oven for freshly cooked pizzas. The rooms were capacious, with a private balcony, private bathroom, TV, ceiling fan, dressing table, cupboards and air conditioner. The also had a modern designed and fitted with smart technology like the LG smart television. The hotel staff always cleaned the rooms to their finest point. Reception always made a good effort to help me with whatever we needed. There is security parking there for R30 per day as December 2019. Guests have to use a security code to gain access to the public beach gate. With a high crime rate in South Africa The Blue Marlin ensures that their guests are under good surveillance. For those interested in scuba diving there is a scuba diving shop in which one can do their open water course. Divers get the privilege of diving at the famous Aliwal Shoal Reef which is one of the top ten diving spots in the world. I scuba dived with tiger sharks and dolphins. If you are lucky you can swim with humpback whales as the Indian Oceans warm tropical waters are perfect for humans to swim in. The beach itself is very pleasant. It is kept in clean condition. Offering the options of swimming in the ocean or tide pool. There are lifeguards on duty for all areas. There are rock pools only a short distance walk away where one can go snorkeling or fishing. I saw a fisherman catch a king fish and snorkeled with a turtle. I would definitely recommend The Blue Marlin Hotel as a holiday destination for anyone.
