Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
House has a horrible smell that made it inhabitable so I was forced to pack up my children in the night and find a hotel room. The first update text message said it was probably build up on the water heater, which led me to believe they knew this was an issue before hand. It’s been two weeks since the stay and I’m still getting the run around on my refund.

We stayed at Marlin Azul for this trip to Port A. The location was perfect. The home was clean and the private pool was an added bonus. Unfortunately, upon unloading our bags and stocking the refrigerator, we found it did not work! Before I could call, a truck pulled up with an apartment sized refrigerator for us to use. Some of our groceries did not fit due to the size and it did not keep things very cold. The water pressure in the en suite trickled, no pressure whatsoever. I let management know and they said someone was coming out to fix the compressor on the refrigerator, but no one ever showed up. The water pressure issue was never addressed and it truly was awful. Great place, but terrible customer service.

Thank you for taking the time to share all of this. We're genuinely glad Marlin Azul's perfect location, clean home, and private pool made a good first impression — but you came to us for a great stay, and the refrigerator and water pressure issues clearly got in the way of that. While the quick delivery of a replacement fridge was a start, it shouldn't have fallen short on space and cooling, and the promised compressor repair never followed through — along with the en suite water pressure going unaddressed — is not the experience we want any guest to have. We've passed all of this along to our team so we can do better on the follow-through. We appreciate your honesty, and we'd welcome the chance to host you again and get it right.

Great for a group!

We loved our time at this property. It was very clean and it was so nice to have a private pool. The beds were super comfy- even the bunks. It is walking to distance to two great restaurants- tortugas and Venetian hot plate.
