Sensational seafood, get whatever's on the specials board, jumbo prawns to die for and the swahili snapper also excellent, we went here twice in 4 days and loved it both times. It was enhanced by the excellent service from "Whitehall or Whitecliff" I apologise I can't remember his name but he was hilarious and entertained us. Definitely go here.

Lovely setting right on Diani Beach. We were the only guests there for dinner one night, and this kind of raised alarm bells but it shouldn't have. The staff were extremely attentive and the food was brilliant. I ordered the grilled King Prawns and they did not have these, but they gave me the same in Jumbo prawns at no... More

Love the environment but have had disappointments with the food. It is a real nice place to have sundowners.

I was there for dinner with my husband. We order king prawns and we got just five for 18€. My husband order a fish fillet wich was fine. I order octopus and I got just a few tentacles, nice, but short... We didn't have neither napkins nor bread so we had to asked for it... Service wasn't what you expect... More

Took a taxi ride to the restuarant, great bar-b-qued fish cooked as you like it. A bit out of the way. As we were leaving all the lights went out. We couldnot find our way to the taxi very very dark. Reasonable priced

The four of us had fantastic eating experiences in the Blue Marlin. The sea food was fresh and delicately prepared. The restaurant even prepared chili crab on our special request for dinner one night, a real treat..Drop in for lunch or dinner and you will definitely not be disappointed. Try the crab cakes or fish swahili..Yummi..Staff was friendly and professional.

I was there just few days ago. The beach is amazing! The food will make you lick your fingers. The service is a bit slow, but hey- you are in africa and there the motto is Hakuna Matata. They were finishing few rooms that looked nice - with A/C and tv... Definitely will visit them again after a month!

We booked a week just after Christmas 2012 and over New Year here for myself my wife and two teenagers. Although we booked and paid well in advance, from Nairobi, when we arrived to our shock our room was still being built. Initially the 'manager' said that a few mirrors needed altering, then after further waiting he said that some... More

We had our Christmas lunch here and it was disastrous, half the items on the menu were not available, the few that were, were nt tasty at all, and the very few waiters kept loosing track of the orders taken. The food took forever to be served and came in bits and pieces. Do not go to blue marlin for... More

If you are staying on Diani Beach you must visit this beach bar...A relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, good food at great prices that won't break the bank. Set on the best part on Diani Beach, with miles of soft white sand.
