I booked a deluxe twin room via Agoda during a special promotion period. Thus I was very disappointed when I was told upon arrival that there was no such type of room available for me any more. Actually the reason I chose this hotel is that I have two sons who are 8 years and 21 months old respectively and hoped the whole family could stay in one room. I was more upset when the receptionists told me that the sofa was comfortable for sleeping. They seemed have no imagination that how difficult it was for my two kids and their mom sleep in one bed whilst I use the sofa. At my insistence, the hotel finally offered an additional bed free of charge. I don't know whom I should blame, Agoda or the hotel..
Overall speaking, the hotel staffs are hospital and many of them have difficulty in speaking a good English. The food in the hotel are not bad. But we were busy in dealing with the flies during breakfast time. I wonder whether the hotel could do anything about it.
Transportation from airport to the hotel is 50 minutes. The location is not attractive. It would be my last time to stay in this hotel.

Hotel overall needs a bit of a face lift (hasn't changed since the last time I visited in 2004) but still a wonderful place to stay with family. Air conditioning issues when we arrived but we were relocated to another suitable room. Lots of in-house restaurants with many food options. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The free shuttle bus was great to get you back and forth from Patong. Will definitely return for our next Phuket holiday.

best hotel of the trip
pools, breakfast, cumfy beds
9.7
It was excellent! Great pools, swim up bar, most amazing breakfast - we didn't eat until dinner. The internet in the room was a little slow and only 1 person could be on at a time butthe lobby was fast. It was quiet and relaxing. We didn't even hear ourneighbours and the view was stunning. Lots of food options and food and massage options on the beach. Taxi to town was no problem and checkout when we were running late for our plane was quick and easy. We had a 10yr old who swims very well so he had an absolute ball. He even did a scuba lesson. Expensive compared to the cheap hotels around but compared to what you would get at home it's dirt cheap and worthevery cent. We booked deluxe beachfront but didnt stay long enough. Next time we will stay for a whole week

Good location
3 pools, location make this a good hotel
8.3
Merlin Resort is a great location close enough to Patong it will take you 5 minutes by taxi or you can use the free shuttle provided by hotel. Resort has its own private beach which is small and at low tide rocky but great for snorkelling. We stayed in a beachfront deluxe was given a king size bed they gave us a rollaway for our daughter who is 4 which was fine. Room was lovley and view of the ocean. Staff friendly except I found the lady at the kids club not really into her job, so my daughter only went twice.
Restaurant Tip:
There is a restaurant located on the hillside next to beach food is good and cheap

A jewel in Phuket
A family friendly hotel with kids features
8.7
a cheeky and luxurious whistle stop in phuket whilst on cruise - we were traveling on a cruise and had 6 hours shore time. so we booked a room at the hotel for the benefit of the private beach - amenities and a day bed! we thought it was such a brilliant idea and got the room at the hotel at a discount which was fantastic. when the cruise (royal caribeaan) docked around the patong beach we took 10 mins tuk tuk and got to a large resort which was a pleasant surprise. check in was efficient and friendly. the room was spacious and the view was fab!
my 2 year old baby loved to float from one pool to another and it was huge! the pool slides for kids were decent size not the mini type!
it has a good feel to it the only downside was the choice of room service food - more choices would be great.
overall a great and memorable few hours we spent at merlin but good ones!

Good Rooms and swimming pool, poor location with n
Good for kids, great pool area and rooms are ok
4.7
We stayed at Merlin beach resort for 7 nights. The location is 3 km from Phukets Patong beach which is adult entertainment center. The resort as such is nice although I found the beach rather poor vs. many other places in Thailand and hence it was to my surprise that there were so many families with kids (also the fact that is close to Patong). With families with kids I would choose some other location in Thailand such as Koh Lanta or Khao Lak. At Merlin Pools and rooms have good standard. We couldn't say the same for food and service at the hotel. The buffet dinners were overpriced and the quality was not at the level where it should be for a hotel at this price level. The resort is also isolated in a pennisula where there are no other services and hence the price level at the hotel was too high .
