We have just had 8 nights at Merlin Beach hotel, the pools are the main focus, and there is a pool to suit all requirements. One with a swim-up Bar, one has an Island with Spa in centre (accessable via bridges unless you have a ground floor room with direct pool access) and another with sport activities. We attended a... more

My b/f and I stayed at Merlin Beach Hotel a few weeks ok. By far this place is just amazing. With 3 large pools and a pool bar we were in heaven. We did eat in the thai restaurant In the hotel and that was great and not over priced at all. If you really want a cheap meal we... more

During April 2009 we spent 9 nights at the Merlin Beach Resort Phuket, which is just a few minutes from the the hustle and bustle of Patong Beach.

Great value for money. Just out of the hustle and bustle of patong. Too many good points to mention. Down points would be .... Beach not quite upto scratch, could... more

The restaurants were ok- i dont think the selection was the best. The breakfast was the same everyday so that got a bit boring after a week! The... more

We stayed at Patong Merlin Resort May 17th - 20th May 2009. It was one of the best places we stayed during our 4 week trip through Thailand. It was immacuately clean, had three great pools, quiet and pretty close to everything. Unfortunately we only had 3 days here, we should have stayed longer. The O Top markets are just... more

Nothing bad to say about the restaurant. Clean and well lit at night. It was in a remote location from Phuket so a taxi was about £4. Staff were pleasant also more
