I loved absolutely everything about the... More

Why only write a review when something was wrong? We spent 10 days at this hotel around Christmas, and it was a beautiful experience. A huge, super clean and charming room with an amazing bathroom. Lush gardens where it was always possible to find a quiet spot, lots of swimming pools, a beach made for long walks, extremely friendly personnel.... More

Stayed at the Khao Lak Merlin Resort for 7 nights late April 2013. I chose the resort as I was a solo traveller, looking for a safe, quiet resort where I could relax, it was perfect. I agree with everything everyone has said about the delicious buffet breakfast, the friendly staff, the jungle surrounds, and the beautiful beaches and pools.... More

Our standard room was perfect, with a big bathroom and it was absolutely spotlessly clean. We had a nice balcony overlooking the upper... More
