The Marlin at Taino Beach Resort

This “resort” needs some serious work. I was very disappointed when I got there to find out that there was no internet and no television…… 📺 . I think they should let the guess know that before they get there. The first night it was like I night in a horror movie. The bed was terrible the refrigerator was rusted, the microwave was missing the top part and the bathroom was disgusting.

I highly recommend this resort, beautiful beaches and pool. The resort is clean and well maintained. Friendly staff.

The Ideal Health Spa and Art Gallery was a wonderful experience. The masseuse, Deniqua Williams, was professional and very thorough in massaging my neck and shoulders, down to my lower back. I would recommend the spa to every traveler who visits the Taino Beach Club and Resort.

If I could give negative stars, I would. This was the most disgusting place that I have ever stayed. From mold in both bathrooms, to filthy showers, bathroom door wouldn’t close, rust and filthy beds, dish washer didn’t work, hot tub didn’t work, activities area everything was torn up or completely unusable, restaurant was filthy, rooms haven’t been updated since they opened, service was awful, they were rude and didn’t have enough towels, water was out one day for 5 hour, the safe didn’t work. Do not stay here.

The supposed 1 bedroom was 2 studio units that Flintstone and barbie decorated it. Huge cockroaches. Malfunction AC dripping water all over the floor. That they didn't try fix. Rusty shelves in fridge. The only good thing was the nice quiet beach.

This resort was the worst resort I have ever stayed in. I traveled for work many times and my wife and I have taken 2-3 trips per year in the last ten years, all being at top motels, hotels and resorts. This resort may have had good beaches, nice pools and friendly people but the room was abysmal. First of all, its decor was straight out of the 1960s, pick concrete bed stead, couch and mirrors covering every wall. The kitchenette had a broken microwave, a phone with a broken cord, no pans for cooking, shoddy utensils, dirty floors they never cleaned (we were there one week), a safe that did not work, and to top it off, we were expected to change our own sheets, pillowcases, towels and washcloths. No dish soap for the dishes. We had to gather our dirty items, put them in a plastic bag, and set them outside the door. They were picked up, washed and the same items brought back later that afternoon. It wasn't until the last day we finally got a shower mat. Met other guests who had the same issues. These people had similar rooms who were upgraded once they bought into their membership program. The food cafe was under separate ownership so they were a little different. It was open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., with about ten items offered for each meal. Prices were above average, ranging from $8-10 for breakfast, to about $25 to 35 for their late afternoon meal. The food was good and enough was offered. Liquor was the same. All in all, the worst place I have ever stayed at. I would never go back to it, nor would I recommend it to anyone.
