After two recent visits to the hotel restaurant, one for the breakfast special and the other for the curry special, I cannot compare the hotel’s well deserved 5 star rating to that of the restaurant.

After two recent visits to the hotel restaurant, one for the breakfast special and the other for the curry special, I cannot compare the hotel’s well deserved 5 star rating to that of the restaurant. Both experiences were unspectacular, ordinary and by no means of the standard one would expect from this quality of establishment. There is unfortunately a tendency in some restaurants to try and capitalize on the term “special” to attract patrons. This one backfired for me as the food was mediocre, bordering on bland. The hot breakfast portions were reminiscent of a 2nd class train breakfast and devoid of taste. The only saving grace on both occasions was the service. Competent and professionally sociable, it did help somewhat to temper the disappointment. Read less

Wonderful position. Very comfortable rooms. Friendly staff. I would return for sure. We only had breakfast in the hotel, and it was very good. We could walk to the main restaurant area and very close to the beach. The hotel also has a pool

I came across this hotel on Tripadvisor. I will not lie that I booked this looking only on the basis of photos and reviews and so had my few share of doubts. But all my doubts went away as soon I entered the property. It’s a fantastic property with beautiful location. My parent’s room was the one with sea view. I will highly recommend everyone to go for it. The staff was so helpful and friendly. It’s definitely a plus point to stay in a hotel with friendly staff. Everything was so closeby, popular restaurants, shopping places. Only thing that disappointed us that we had a one day stay with them. Wish we could’ve stayed longer. Thank you everyone at The Marine to make our tour memorable Read less
