About
Warm & airy quarters in a casual beachside hotel offering a pool, free breakfast & a beach area.
The tuna carpaccio's well presented and the pizza comes to the table piping hot. Staff will watch your things while you take a long walk on the beach, then pour you a perfectly cold beer when you get back.

My most memorable tourist experience in Diani. From clean beaches, cool temperatures unlike the north coast., great international cuisines, exemplary service, boat rides, breathtaking sceneries... It's simply, heavenly! 😍 5/5 tourist experience. 😎

I stopped here for an early dinner and the staff were welcoming and offered to watch my things while I had a long walk by the beach. I came back to have a a prefectly cold beer and Tuna carpaccio which was well presented as well as a decent portion. I also had a pizza which came to the table still piping hot, I say this because many times in Diani I find pizzas arriving cold, and beers are never cold enough. The staff were attentive and kind, I would definitely go back for another meal.

Hotel was a bit neglected, would require some investments. Poor internet connection. Beach bar very nice, breakfast was good, service was excellent. Overal a bit overpriced. Nothing around. Diani was a bit dissapointment.

A Dream Stay My stay at Blue Marlin Hotel was nothing short of amazing! Located right on the stunning Diani Beach, this gem of a hotel offers the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. The views are breathtaking — the turquoise waters and powdery white sand make it feel like paradise. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, always going the extra mile to ensure I felt at home. Whether it was arranging excursions or providing top-notch service at the restaurant, they made sure every need was met. The rooms were spacious, clean, and beautifully designed, offering comfort and tranquility after a day of exploring. The food was excellent, with a variety of options that truly highlight local flavors. I can't recommend this place enough. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway with friendly service and unforgettable views, Blue Marlin Hotel is the place to be. I can’t wait to return!
