The staff at the restaurant were not friendly.

This lovely little resort is by no means luxurious. But it’s clean and super quiet with a relaxing vibe. Beds are comfortable, the terrace was nice and private. We barely saw anyone and when we did it was one of the workers waving hello and greeting us. They could use another chair on the terrace (which they brought to us). Kitchen had no bowls or plates and the coffee machine looked old, so that was the only thing I missed - making a nice cup of coffee. It would have been great if they provided some coffee and creamers too but we just got coffee elsewhere. The hotel's free shuttle service to the beach felt private. I would text the driver and he would be there within minutes, if he wasn’t waiting for us already. Suzanne was super friendly and helpful! She checked in on us and even arranged our snorkeling tour. She literally was like a private concierge. The hotel’s “beach club” (lounge chairs with umbrellas, small tables next to chairs and a friendly attendant sitting next to a water cooler) that the 4 minute shuttle ride brings you to is right next to Wymara where we ate our meals. Do not bother going to the restaurant at the sister resort, Kokomo, the service is lacking (they took forever to approach us when there was one other table there) and the food was pricey for what you got, which was barely edible. We would stay at One on Marlin again, making our vacation very affordable while still enjoying the expensive meals.

Don't book. The worst of the worst. False advertising! No white sand, no sound proof room, no restaurant on site, and no help when there is problems. Yes it's cheaper, because it's dirty and advertise untrue. A towel rack on the ground in the room, the mini fridge leaked, the ceiling fan wouldn't turn off, a stove and filth in the hallway etc. I have pics. They say sound proof room, I have multiple recordings of how loud the music is next door in the room. I tried to resolve the problem and super unhelpful people and it took forever to reach them.

Richie was exceptional. We had an amazing time during our short stay. It was absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. Travelling with a 6 month old is never easy. Staff made everything smooth and memorable.

Amazing room and atmosphere

Free continental breakfast each morning. Staff are very friendly, helpful, and prompt. The grounds are beautiful and serene.
