Great service and lovely resort
The pools were great that interconnected.
Resturants had a variety of local and international menus.

We enjoyed our stay at this resort we came with our daughter her husband and two grandchildren 4 years and 18mths. The staff were so friendly to all of us especially the children. We visited the kids club just once and its was ok for the little kids. The location was a little way out from Patong Beach but the shuttle bus was great to get into Patong Beach. I was surprised to find we could go to Patong was well with the shuttle but the shuttle was not often enough incase we got to hot to return with it. There are 2 beaches one at the resort another a short walking distance that had bars and restuarants to rest and get a drink they also had boats for hire and you could go by boat to Patong Beach. There were 2 monkeys on the beach that you could play with but take care as someone was bitten but one of them as it was being teased.
Shopping Tip:
You can get your laundry cleaned cheaper in Patong Beach 1Kg for 50baht or 7baht for 1 item

Merlin Beach Resort Review
Nice pools, good breakfasts, wonderful check in process, nightly entertainment, free shuttle bus to Patong/phuket town
6
Overall the resort is fine. Its not amazing and certainly not 5 star. The pool access room is very good though. However the primary issues are this:
1. My partner became very ill late at night at the resort - i phoned reception to get a doctor to attend. They hung up on me. I tried again - they said that there is no doctor and hung up. I phoned back and asked for an ambulance (it was that serious involving spitting up blood). They again hung up on me. Then 30 mins later (if it was heart attack the person would have died), i get a call from the hospital suggesting i bring my partner via taxi to ensure that they get there... This IS UNACCEPTABLE. It is life threatening.
2. The woman at reception when receiving a tailor for final measurements was completely rude/inflexible and patronising. She knew it was a tailor as they recommended this tailor. So i fail to see why they were not allowed on premises.
3. Food was ridiculously expensive at resort.
Shopping Tip:
Dont bother with tailoring in Patong unless you have at least 7 days and are willing to organise entire trip around the tailor visits. Also DJ Tailors are to be avoided like the plague.

Absolutely love this place, it is away from the town and has everything you need if you just want to relax. Staff are so willing to help and are so friendly. We are going back to this hotel for the 3 yr straight this yr. It's just like a home away from home.

Nice Hotel away from throbbing Patong
secluded away from the bustle of Patong , has three decent size pools to choose from , and pool bar and poolside food and drink service .free bus service to Patong , central world and Phuket town .
7.3
nestled about 3- 4 miles south of Patong , this hotels is close enough to Throbbing Patong but far enough away to be peaceful retreat . Although food and drink
in the hotel is quite pricy , but the standard is quite high . Almost every room has a pool view or beach view . staff are all friendly and courteous ,
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
Taxis from the hotel are expensive , best using the free bus

Nice Resort
Excellent lobby area. Good size and well appointed rooms. Good swimming pools.
7.3
I stayed at the Merlin Beach resort for 7 nights and overall had a great stay. The best part about the hotel is the main swimming pool, the lobby/bar area, and the rooms themselves are large and luxurious (and I only stayed in a Superior room). The breakfast was a full buffet, however was average, and the restaurants and bars were good, however prices were on par with what I would pay here in Australia. While the resort has its own beach it's not possible to swim in the ocean, as the beach is covered with rock. There is a room with pool tables, a large screen TV, and Internet access, however the Internet was slow and the computers were riddled with viruses.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
A tuk-tuk to and from the Resort to the main area in Patong should cost you 200 Baht.

All up a great experience. Enjoyed the shuttle to patong a few times. Great times drinking cocktails and milkshakes in the pool.

With the size of the hotel it seemed like it was never crowded you could always find a quite corner somewhere or go down to the beach

Loved the Merline Beach would stay again, the pools are fantastic and the Italian Restaurant is great and staff are really helpful

Merlin Beach Resort Phuket
Good facilities, great swimming pools with access to beach

After my stay in Koh Samui where the hotel there was in a perfect position for pools, beaches and night life this hotel was a big disappointment as far as the location. Not only the location but the hotel staff here at Merlin Beach Resort were not as friendly and insisted on tips, not vocally but there mannerisms were so indignant. In Koh Samui the staff there could not have done enough for you and expected nothing in return. This Hotel in my opinion is very "Americanised" I would not go back to this Hotel as there are many others close to everything and a lot cheaper.
Shopping Tip:
The very last day I discovered a little shop across the street that sold drinks and snacks very cheaply and they do laundry.
