We came to the Marin for a week with our 2 year old. On arrival we to a swim up duplex 2 floor 2 bedrooms for £300 on arrival, the standard swim up was £150 but wasnt available. But we were actually really glad for the extra space and bedroom for our daughter. Even had a place to put the buggy near the stairs. The rooms were very clean and easy, the swim up aspect made our week. The cleaners were good and came daily restocking the fridge. Onto the food, after reading reviews we were worried but I actually can't agree with anything negative. The choice was excellent, huge restaurant room with different themes also every other night. Bars easy to get to, no queuing. There was a nice cocktail bar outside too, prices reasonable as these aren't included but we knew that upon booking. I loved that there are juice machines (like squash) everywhere you can fill up reusable cups or they have little plastic cups, so it wasnt just fizzy drinks. Food was available at different parts of the hotel at all times of day. The food was fresh and a great variety. Staff were constantly cleaning everything everywhere so the resort was very clean. Sunbed wise we could always get one at different points of the day. As so many people flock to the island during the day the hotel itself felt quiet compared to what I expected. You can get pool towels each day from the spa area. One thing we only discovered last day was gorgeous twister ice lollies at the main pool food area around lunchtime. The island was fantastic, the marin is super close just a 2 min walk. There was so much entertainment the holiday just felt so easy. Our 2 year old loved the toddler slide and splash areas, once again no issues with sunbeds. The water switches off at 12-1 as this is when people flock to the food court which was very impressive, there were booths with everything you could want for lunch and a bar there too. Plenty of bars on the island. We didnt stay up past 9ish as we had our little one wanting to go to bed but the entertainment looked great. All in all we couldnt fault the holiday, it felt easy, just as a holiday should. My only issue came with them not providing milk as the all inclusive, our daughter still likes to drink milk before bed and the fridge in room is more a cooler so doesnt keep milk cold. But that's very personal to us. All I can say is dont be put off by reviews, we would 100% return! And easy family holiday
