Rooms were fabulous. Restaurant choices were a little limited but the food was excellent. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. The grounds are beautiful and there's a fabulous stretch of beach to enjoy. Signs around to warn against reserving sunbeds, but this isn't enforced. Most days they're all reserved by 8am and not occupied until several hours later.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Merlin. The hotel is beautifully set in a jungle oasis, yet walkable to plenty of restaurants, bars and supermarkets in the nearby village as well as some great bars, cafes and massage parlours along the beach. The room was very comfortable and spacious, although the jungle setting did mean it was a little more difficult to make good use of our balcony due to the mosquitoes and meant a few more bugs than normal seemed to get into our room and luggage. Breakfast was fantastic with a great variation and selection. The pool areas were great and there was never a shortage of sunbeds - either by the pool or the beach. Thanks for an enjoyable stay - we’d be happy to return!

Khaolak Merlin Resort is one of the most beautiful resorts we have stayed in. The rooms are nestled amongst an amazing rainforest with water features everywhere. We shared our own free form pool with only a few other rooms. The beach was great for swimming and very clean - much better than anything we encountered in Phuket.

The resort was described as 'set within nature' and does indeed fit the description. This gives it a quite unique experience compared to most other hotels in the area. The resort is quite large, however, it feels secluded due to the surrounding gardens, forest and plants. There are plenty of sunbeds available. We stayed in a premier natural room which had recently been renovated and it did not disappoint. The room was a good size with an even better view from the balcony. The stand out feature of the hotel was the staff and dining experiences. We would normally eat in the local beach restaurants, whilst in Thailand however, the Veranda restaurant on the beach was excellent, so we ate here many times. The chef also cooked some Thai dishes that were not on the menu upon request. A special mention has to go to Weerawat and his team; Da, Angan and Feddy and the others - (apologies if the spelling is incorrect). The only area for improvement would be the front desk staff - whilst the initial check-in was good, the friendliness seemed to disappear after that... Also, we had one hick-up in the restaurant as the fillet steak was tough as old boots - there was no compensation offered (which you would have expected, given the amount of times we ate in the restaurant).. Notwithstanding, this is one of the very few hotels that we are planning to return to and would recommend if you are looking for a unique relaxing experience (not lively like Phuket).

プールアクセスのお部屋に宿泊しましたが、フロントから登り下り階段など少々遠いのが難点でした。プールバーの重低音の効いた音楽を流されており、部屋にいると17:00クローズまで部屋が振動するぐらいでうるさかったのが気になりました。自然との調和や融合をコンセプトにしているならロックミュージックは不要では？？朝食は都合2回ぐらいならば飽きませんが、それ以上の滞在ではバラエティーの面で不満が残るかも？？全般的に清潔で過ごしやすい環境は整備されていると思います。

緑が豊富で素晴らしい環境。部屋の前にある滝のプールも良かった。スローロリスが見られたナイトツアーも面白かった。気になった点は、朝食にもっと豊富なタイ料理を置いてほしい点と、レストランが改装中で1箇所しか選択肢がなく、近くのローカルレストランに出かけました。

落ち着いた雰囲気のホテル。宿泊客も皆非常に穏やかなトーンで喋ります。私達が滞在したときは年配者が多いイメージでした。広い敷地に樹木がたくさんあり、ホテルが定期的に主催する自然観察ツアーは大人気です。私達の泊まったヴィラには屋根裏にトッケイヤモリがいて、ユーモラスな鳴き声を聞くことができました。
