Blue Marlin

Back again! Third Sunday I’ve spent at Blue Marlin this past month, but first time eating lunch (I ate at their neighboring Yemanja last Sunday).
I was looking to diversify my food tasting this time around since I had their sushi in 2013 and their bone-​in filet last summer (2015). But I got talked into a bone-​in tenderloin (450g) and I can’t complain!
Again, service was great and attentive, I was allowed to dine on a Sunday — their most popular day! — without a reservation, and the food recommendations were on point. The music, scene, and vibe are top-​notch, which almost doesn’t deserve mention anymore.
Bonus points, some of the staff remembered me from last year. Does that make me a regular? :)

Love this place, the music the atmosphere is absolutely amazing, food there was great maybe a little too salty also I am a vegan and you had great options for vegan food, I loved the sweet potato fries, quinoa salad was ok not a fan of raisins.

LOVED this place! From the food, beach, people, vibe and workers everything was perfect! Stayed there the entire day, relaxed and just listened to the DJ play his music, ate, drank and tanned. Such a fun and chill vibe!

An incredible setting to have a few drinks and listen the music from the afternoon until dark.
Cocktails are large and the scenery is quite nice if you like looking at good looking people and good looking dancers.
If you want to eat dinner here I recommend booking your table way in advance.
VIP table space is a bit crammed but the general area itself is too so get there early and find an area with your friends or shell out for a table for a little bit of breathing room.

Two stars solely for the location and crystal clear water. Everything else is hideous and a little cringeworthy and feels so dated and irrelevant. Throngs of «high class» escorts, lots of buff/​body builder types still clutching onto style reminiscent of David Beckhams sarong era who undoubtedly work in recruitment. Wait for the cab is ridiculous. Overall? hideous.

No todos los días esta bien pero el día que lo esta, es una pasada, si llegas en barco la experiencia puede ser única…

playa sin arena (piedras) y un ambiente algo artificial para marcar la diferencia entre el jet-​set que llega en yate y el resto del mundo mundano… Precios para alucinar (hamacas con consumo mínimo de 450 EUR… del la comida ni hablo…). No es mi estilo y me temo que la gente que se deja sus dinero aquí se pierda otros sitios mas espectaculares que tiene de ofrecer la isla.

Wow… the most pretentious overrated excuse for the newly-​rich and wannabe rich to floss their ignorance and arrogance! If you dont mind Eastern European /​Russian hookers everywhere, average food at outrageous prices, and roped of sections so nobody without a «vip table» can stand anywhere, then go for it… the shady Dutch owner will gladly take your money and kick you out when your bottle of Moet runs dry. We will be at Yemanja next door with the locals enjoying exquisite food and company.

Hello Paradise!
Yes this place is pretentious and everyone is über beautiful, but do you know what? Suck it up, Go with it, own it girlfriend! This place is deliciously hot. Yes it’s pricey, but when do you ever stumble across places like this? Moët beds on a beautiful beach, decadent cocktails, gorgeous people everywhere, sexy music drifting about, it’s an experience everyone should get the pleasure of experiencing.
Didn’t try any of the food and mainly went there in the daytime but woah, I’ll never forget it. The surroundings are stunning.

I have such conflicting views of this place as the first part of the day was AMAZING. However when it was towards the end it really left a bad taste in my mouth.
We were quite a big group so we took out 3 beds on the beach. The experience is luxurious — especially the wait service. The food is fantastic — I’d definitely recommend the shrimp tempura and the halloumi sandwich.
But similar to Angel’s review, it took a ridiculous amount of time to wait for a taxi. What was worse is that we blew so much money there but they were so unhelpful. We would ask every now and then, could you please call to see where the taxi’s are. They would give us a blank look and said, we called so wait outside they’ll come any minute. I think it took nearly an hour and getting quite hungry. They refused to serve us food in the event the taxis showed up.
Definitely check out the place. Drive if you can, if not book your taxi way ahead of time.

If it wasn’t because how the night turned sour on us, I would have given Blue Marlin a 4 star for food.
It was drizzling that night, so they wouldn’t seat us outside. The seating inside was fine except for the blaring music for the clubbers on the dance floor. We ordered a few things from the menu, with the shrimp pasta being the most memorable one. Food overall was amazing.
What was NOT amazing was the lack of taxi outside of this place — it is completely remote and at least 20 minutes away from civilization. We found out during dessert that the party before us had waited 40 minutes for a taxi. You would think they could have easily called for a cab while we were enjoying our desserts so after we signed the bill we could just go on with the night — NOPE.
We waited outside which was getting chilly from the wind, behind TWO groups who had been waiting 40 minutes. We waited for 20 minutes, I went inside to find out why they can’t call a taxi for us – only to be greeted with hostility by this guy (I think he was the house DJ) who kept repeating «we’re closed! we’re closed!» OMFG… chill out — first of all, I already ATE here 20 minutes ago, and second of all, I’ve been waiting outside in the cold for too f*ing long! How can an upscale, celebrity ridden place like this not have a good system to transport their customers? Then I found out from the maitre’d (which btw all of them are UNfriendly — who needs that? to feel like you’re doing them a favor to come to their restaurant? FORGET IT) that she had called for 4 taxis and they’re on their way.
Well, 30 minutes later (so that’s 50 minutes total), we were waiting along with the rest of the restaurant and club crowd (GREAT). There was no line nor person keeping things in order. The 2 groups before us had been picked up by 2 taxis, and so it was us next in line. We were making sure that everybody is aware of that, and THIS GUY, the RUDE DJ or server or whatever he is, claimed out loud that he was first in line and he is next to get on the taxi with his friend! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? When we confronted him, he said «Hey I work here! So I’m getting on the taxi next!» Hubby practically went off at him and he said «Ok fine, you get the next taxi… fucking idiot!» When the taxi came, we practically had to run and get in the taxi to not have this loser steal it from us! And then he mocked us and made faces like a 5-​year old would!
This whole experience totally ruined our dinner and our night. I would NEVER go back to Blue Marlin and would NOT recommend it to anyone. No decency at all from the front door to the end. All the other upscale restaurants always have taxis lined up at their entrance — not this one; how poorly managed…

Glamouroso, chicas con cuerpo de escándalo en minibikinis mínima expresión paseando palmito, que su esfuerzo seguro que les cuesta (a veces la genética también pone algo de su parte) por la pasarela hacia el mar, yates y megayates atracados justo enfrente, camas balinesas, masajes, tienda, bar de copas, restautante de cocina internacional, fiestas de todo tipo (algunas más locas que otras) Todo eso es Blue Marlin.

This is the place of what you expect when you are looking for the rich, extreme and over the top, celebrity Ibiza.
Magnums of rose wine, celebrities at the table next to you and house music that make you want to dance on the table.
The staff is great and running around to satisfy all the demanding guests.
Just enjoy the atmosphere, don’t think about the money and party!

I totally agree with Britts review above. However this is a good place, very fancy, everyone acts and looks important (haha) we enjoyed ourselves here but… Food was ok/​good but not amazing, the staff was very nice to us. Music is big here, famous DJ’s play here and then this place fills up. Famous Hollywood types hang here too. This place has a beautiful setting, beautiful! If you travel to Ibiza you should go to Blue Marlin but the place next door is nice too. Blue Marlin is a hip see and be seen kinda place. Enjoyable.

The Blue Marlin is a very trendy beach restaurant, especially with British tourists. The scene here is pretty cool, and the beds on the sand seem to be on the cheaper end for this type of place (live music, popular parties) at only 15 Euro per bed, and we didn’t have to reserve it beforehand.
Of course, places like this always depend on what event it is going on, but for a lunch meal on the sand, it isn’t a bad option. The fish was fresh and the cocktails strong. As with anywhere else in Ibiza, all meals come with bread, olives and garlic mayo — no clue why. I had the ceviche and goats cheese salad… not bad. Compared to the other places on the island, the food quality is quote good, but you do have to pay for that luxury. A small salad was 18 Euro … man, we spent so much on okay food on this trip … sadly there isn’t much of an alternative if you’re looking for a scene.
They also have a sushi bar which is always nice on the beach — but again, the quality isn’t above the rest. I would personally recommend going to the place just next door, more low key, same great beach, and it’s rumored to have better food… just an idea.

das blue marlin in cala jondal (karte evt. nicht ganz richtig) ist ein traumhafter platz zum sonnen, chillen, feiern sowie sich kulinarischen genüssen hingeben und einfach genießen! sehr stilvolles ambiente mit primär upper-​class-​publikum, aber dennoch nicht zu abgehoben oder gar arrogant.
riesige, runde sunbeds aus weißem leder mit sonnenschirm und eigenem tisch sowie eye 2 eye service. besser relaxen geht nicht.
kleine shops laden zum stöbern und geld ausgeben ein, aber vorsicht: hochpreisig, das geht woanders auch billiger! aber spaß macht’s trotzdem. ;-)
