Blue Marlin — Restaurant in Roatán

This restaurant/bar is attached to Reef Gliders dive shop. A lot of people say the food is great, but I was not a fan. I ordered a grilled cheese and the bread was not toasty. It looked toasted but was more soggy. The fries were alright, but some were not fried long enough. The baleadas were okay as baleadas are. I never expect baleadas to taste good anywhere though. The way I see it, they're for cheap(er) sustenance and nothing more.

They also seem to add eggs to the baleadas by default, so you have to specify no eggs. I ordered avocado baleadas one day and they came with eggs, so I took it back and they picked the egg out. The next time, I ordered baleada con aguacate again and the guy asked if I wanted egg. I was real confused thinking maybe he heard me say eggs or huevos and not aguacate. From his reaction, I think it's normal for eggs on the baleadas here and he found it strange that I didn't ask for them. He seemed a bit offended when I said I didn't ask for eggs. This time they made them how I ordered and I didn't have take it back like last time when they added eggs I didn't ask for 🙃

Getting into West End, you will see everything is close together with many different bars and restaurants along the main road. Let me say, as soon as you pass the Blue Marlin, you will immediately be drawn into it. The atmosphere was incredible, and the cocktails are even better. The staff were so kind and personable. The cost is super reasonable, especially from 4-7 during their happy hour:) it is also such a wonderful place to watch sunset! If you want good vibes, great food, exceptional cocktails, meaningful connection and conversation, please go here!! I can’t hype it up enough. You have to see it to...
