The Marlin at Taino Beach Resort

The Marlin at Taino Beach Resort & Clubs is a 186-room beachfront property on Jolly Roger Drive in Freeport, Grand Bahama Island, Bahamas, opened in March 2007 as part of the larger Taino Beach Resort & Clubs complex that has operated for more than 25 years. The resort sits steps from Taino Beach and less than one mile from Lucaya Beach, with Grand Bahama International Airport approximately 8 miles away. Units are furnished with stainless steel appliances and wood furniture, and come in Studio, 1-Bedroom with Bahama Room, and top-floor 1-Bedroom configurations, each with full kitchenette, flat-screen TV, air conditioning, and in-room safe. The on-site restaurant, Taino By The Sea, serves local and international cuisine at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the property also includes a pool bar and full bar/lounge.

Dedicated event space square footage and named ballroom capacities are not publicly documented for The Marlin at Taino Beach Resort. The property is noted as having a conference center and business services on site, making it suited for smaller corporate meetings and room-block group stays rather than large convention-style events.
