Stayed at Merlin Beach Resort July 2008. As soon as we got there, we were given a rockmelon juice and cold scented face towel to cool us down.

I stayed at the Merlin Beach Resort for 5 nights with my partner and another couple in early June 2008, as part of our 14 night holiday in Thailand. We didn't want to stay right in the heart of Patong and most of the 5 star resorts appeared to be too far away from everything so this resort seemed to... more
