"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,...
"Excellent property and staff was super nice and helpful.
Be prepared to walk stairs and hills, as there are no elevators. Not handicap friendly just an fyi"
"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 "

"Great hotel in Kata! everything was soooooo so good;
- nice location which is close to everything and not far from beach.
- friendly and helpful staff.
- room is big enough for 6 person and suitable for family. It looks exactly the same as in the picture.
- cleanliness was good.
- There is promotion for pool bar, start at 5:00-7:00pm.
- breakfast was okay but not so much choice (there is no problem for us)
And I will recommend this hotel to all of my friends! THANK YOU FOR TAKING CARE OF...
"We stayed in a room on the harbour side. A magical view and fantastic to watch the water craft coming and going. The hotel is pure luxury, brand new, it feels anyway. Breakfast was good and made to order. There is no elevator, however, they have staff that attend to luggage. Be aware that the entrance is on the harbour side, tucked away in a corner. They will also charge you 2000 cash upon arrival for a security deposit. "
"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. "
