"The location of resort and room is so beautiful and romantic. We really loved it and it’s the perfect setting for relaxation.
Only downside is no bar and is in a Muslim area but getting a taxi is no problem if you want a non halal meal close.
The staff are so friendly especially Mr Annon (excuse my spelling) he is great host. YNWA!"
"Staff was very friendly and helpful. Helped us book all our excursions. Helped us with transportation to different locations. Hotel was very clean and provided us with extra amenities when asked "
"Great location, only one minute walk to an access way to Kata beach. For anyone who is not familiar with Kata, there are only 2 small alley to access to this beach. Even though the map show your hotel is very close to the beach, it may take 1/2 hour walk, if it's not close to the access. That's why I said Chanalai has a great location.
Although hotel is not a brand new one, it is well maintained. In fact, it was just renovated. The hotel has all facilities we need - pool, jacuzzi, pool bar,...
"Nice and kind staff. Location is quite hard to find but it is located in the middle of karon beach. Eventhough the hotel is a bit old, it is clean and full of facility to serve our need. Great experience there. Try next time "
"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."
"Nice resort but the food was mostly bland.
Make sure you don't get to stay in building 7 as it has terrible view over some industrial area and piers. "
