Great resort out of Patong nice if you just want to relax and get away from the shopping. Too far to walk into town but free shuttle offered hourly or cheap taxi in & out. Great rooms nice food on the beach across from the resort. we also stayed in Patong at Patong Merlin and wish we spent more time... More

To be honest I was a little hesitant about staying here after reading previous reviews on here about MBR - as we had no choice to stay here as we were attending a family wedding being held at the resort. I'm not usually a fan of staying at the larger resorts as is the MBR. However, as luck would have... More

At $250 per night, I thought I was getting a luxurious stay at an elite resort at a bargain price... well, it looked luxurious from the pics anyway, even from other users. Wasn't I the fool!! (those snazzy hotels don't go for less than $700 in this part of the world afterall - lesson learnt). In any case, it was... More

Just back from a 2-week stay at MBR with my 9-year old son (my wife coulnd’t make it at the very last minute), overall impression is great. Hotel was in good condition, pools are nice and offer a wide range of options. We didn’t go for special room arrangements, yet everything was fine, and there was nothing to complain about... More

We spent 9 nights at the Merlin Beach from 14th Jan 2012. The first night was spent in room 4323, overlooking the carpark & road on one side and the pool on the other. A large development is currently under construction on the next block so I was very unimpressed when woken by the traffic & building noise. The staff... More

WE spent 2 weeks at the Merlin beach from Dec 30th.. booked a pool access room and this certainly added to the resort experience, however have stayed in a deluxe room before and had a great stay too. Staff mostly all great.. a few of the breakfast staff seem a bit off hand at times and tend to get stressed... More

Again we had a wonderful stay at the Merlin Beach, this is the first xmas stay we have had but really enjoyed it. Have to say nice to see the rooms had been updated and refreshed and all the pool umbrellas have been replaced also. And a really cool little pool slide has been installed which my husband really enjoyed... More

Stayed at the Merlin Beach for 10 nights from the 23rd of December. It is a big resort about ten minutes out of Patong Beach. Location is great - nice and quiet away from noisy Patong Beach, but still close enough to get into twon easily. There is a shuttle that runs at certain times there and back. However coming... More

Stayed here with my husband, daughter and grandson and agree with all the reviews - loved every moment of it. Worth while getting a swim up room as so convenient. Used the day spa and a bit expensive - but we are on holidays and it was worth every cent!! Breakfasts need to be changed as after a week -... More
