    • Emery ★★★★ Great spot to hangout and relax with friends and family There may be a need to revive some fun activities and facilities in the resort
    • Bukky B. ★★★★★ The Marina Beach has potential but it's poorly maintained and services are very slow. The staff are lackadaisical. The food is okay though.

    • GODSUPREME S. ★★★★ Ferry service to oron in akwa ibom state, cameroun, bakassi etc
    • dozzie M. ★★★★★ This is where you enter a speed boat from Calabar to Oron. It's managed by individuals, so service is very Nigerian. But they are polite and nice, though. It's takes about 30 minutes to get from Calabar to Oron. And the fare cost about #8,000.
