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.

施設は自然の中のリゾートで素晴らしい。 朝食も毎朝メニューが変わって飽きがこない。周辺エリアは食事、マッサージ、コンビニ、両替と必要最低限は揃っているがお店の数が少ない。 中心地まではタクシーのみの移動となるところに少し不便さを感じた。

Une oasis en bord de mer et un personnel au Top !

Un petit coin de paradis ! Nous avons passé un séjour inoubliable dans cet hôtel qui porte bien son nom : Rainforest meets the sea ! Le personnel est aux petits soins, aimable, souriant, alerte (thé et café sont resservis directement dans votre tasse lors du petit-déjeuner). Notre chambre était simple mais confortable, spacieuse, l’hygiène est irréprochable. La literie est excellente, même le lit bébé est de très bonne qualité. Le petit-déjeuner, comme le restaurant et Room-service proposent des produits de très bonne qualité, frais, délicieux et à un prix vraiment raisonnable. Le jardin est luxuriant, entretenu quotidiennement par une équipe de jardiniers extraordinaire. Les piscines sont splendides, entourées de végétation, ultra propres. Les transats très confortables. Malgré le monde qu’il y a dans l’hôtel, il y règne une ambiance conviviale. Tout le monde se salue. Et on n’a jamais l’impression de se marcher dessus car il y a beaucoup d’espace et différentes zones aménagées (ceux qui préfèrent la piscine avec toboggan un peu festive, ceux qui préfèrent une piscine plus au calme, la plage). Les enfants sont vraiment les bienvenus. Un parc avec balançoire, toboggan, jeux de sable, ballons, bouées, des chaises hautes sont à disposition. On se sent vraiment chouchoutés par le personnel de l’hôtel. Ce sont nos plus belles vacances ! Nous avons pu nous ressourcer en famille et rêvons de revenir l’année prochaine. Un immense merci à toute l’équipe de Merlin de Khaolak !!!

Sehr schöne Hotelanlage mitten in der Natur mit vielen Pools und einem tollen und sehr sauberen Strand. Großzügiges, sehr gutes Frühstücksangebot. Die Zimmer könnten eine kleine Renovierung vertragen, aber sie sind nicht abgewohnt und immer sehr sauber. Wir waren schon das zweite mal im Merlin Resort und können es uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Der einzige Kritikpunkt sind die Pauschalurlauber, die bereits um 06:00 Uhr in der Früh einen Großteil der Liegen mit Handtüchern für sich beanspruchen.
