"Its incredible value for money, large and attractive pool villas on a quiet beach.
Might not have some of the polish in service of big brand 5 star, but has a local Thai charm.
The staff are warmest, from Reception to Restaurant to Housekeeping.
Not much nearby, so lock yourself in for a few days of chill or day trips in PhangNga.

"Beautiful hotel with friendly staff.
We had some issues with our room which annoyed us a bit but they gave us a complementary upgrade to compensate for it which made us more than happy
Overall a great hotel, would recommend "
"Very high value for the money considering I payed about 70USD/ night for a 5-star hotel.
Rooms are modern and have everything you would expect at a 5 star hotel.
Food was good in general and the breakfast buffet in particular was very good with a a lot of variety from day to day.
Walking distance to the beach and also several free shuttle busses every day, both to the beach and an area with lots a shops and restaurants (the also have a popular night market there every Friday)
The service...
"Our stay at the Merlin Beach was lovely. Good facilities for adult and children.
Service was lacking considering it is 5 star. However everyone was very friendly. I would come back again."
