We were at Villas Marlin 5/4/08-5/15/08. My daughter and her boyfriend, my son and his girlfriend and my father and myself. We had plenty of room for all. The condos are conveniently located right ON the beach and across the street from a two story indoor mall. The bus station was right in front of that mall. Approximately 65cents to... more

Thank you "Trip Advisor.com" for a great vacation! Our son has previously stayed at Villas Marlin several times and highly recommends it but it was the excellent reviews on this website that really helped us to decide to try a condo vacation for the first time and we are so happy we did. We recently returned with another couple from... more

Villas Marlin was a great place to stay. It was soo close to everything. The mall is less that 2 minutes away so its easy access. About a 10 minute walk to the outdoor mall which is such a good mall. It was really close to the bus stop as well, most of the time we had to take the... more

We rented the villa over Spring Break, my Best Friend, sister and our two children. Everything was as it was to be and we settled in very quickly, used the pools, the beach....and in the evenings everything was so close to commute into town and back. Overall a few minor maintenance things had to be sorted.....I think the hardest part... more

We just got back from Cancun on 3/1/08. We go to Mexico every February the last 5 years. This place was boring. But it all depends on what you are looking for. We took our 6 year old little girl. She was the only child there all week. She had no one to play with. The pools and their restrooms... more

We have stayed at Villas Marlin on 3 different prior occasions with the exception of last year when they were still doing reconstruction from hurricane Wilma and have always enjoyed our stay there. We recently returned from our family Thanksgiving vacation and I just felt I should let your prospective guests know that they have done a beautiful job of... more

Best Carribbean family value in the Yucatan. How do you beat ocean view, ocean front, new pools that overlook the ocean, clean condos with maid service four times a week. Round the clock security, hospitable tenants and vacationers from all around the world. Close to all the Cancun attractions. Easy access to groceries and day trips. Maybe the best exotic... more

We were at the Villas Marlin 3/31/07 - 4/14/07 and had a great time. The pool areas and bathrooms were all brand new, Thank you Wilma. Our vacation was originally set for 4/06 Easter, but had to be changed due to Wilma. The entire pool area was new, beautiful, and really made the place!!!. The children's pool was very handy... more

I wonder about all of the negative reviews about this place. Obviously, it's those individuals whom are looking for a 5 star resort. You’re not going to get that at Villas Marlin. What you are going to get is your private condo - meaning, not a hotel room with maid service every day, or a bar and restaurant, or fancy... more
