We loved our 5 days/4 nights here. It was worth all the effort it took to get to this beautiful island. Our room was spotless, the showers clean (rooms could use some fresh paint, but there was a lot of maintenance going on when we were there). The water is only on for 2 hours in the morning and evening,... More

From the moment we were picked up from Wakai by the Black Marlin boat until we left we had a wonderful experience. The Black Marlin resort has excellent value for money where you get roomy bungalows with three meals a day. Remember that you are on an island, so internet is a no no and there is water to shower...

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Black Marlin in the beginning of February. We stayed 5days and did a lot of dives. The Pinnacle dive spot was our favorite one. We also really enjoyed the night dive and the Bomber (wreck) dive. The dive masters Zina and Tim were amazing! Great people and really made our stay at the... More

After a bad experience in the hotel next door, I was in Black Marlin for several nights and really enjoyed it! The staff is very friendly and the rooms are also very good, pretty spacious, comfortable, clean and right in front of the beach, with an amazing view and very relaxing terrace. The food is the only negative point, sometimes... More

My friends and i were here for about a week, with the sole intent on diving, and boy did we dive. The diving here is absolutely fantastic. Half of the time we were under water I felt as if I was living a real life NatGeo special (The diving alone I would give 10 stars if possible). The rental equipment... More

Great place, good service, nice food, and most of all great hospitality! Specially our host Min did a great job in making us feel welcome. We experienced the ISS diveschool as professional and pleasant.
