Located a bit aways from the main shopping and entertainment of Patong Beach, a free shuttle is provided, giving this property a true resort feel that many Americans would be accustomed to. There are multiple pools, tall palm trees, fire dances on certain nights with Seafood barbecues and so on; it would be forgiven to think you were in a fine resort in Hawaii! These Pool Access rooms are isolated to wings of the main resort, and so feature their own private lagoons with exquisite design from both arborists and architects. The fountain statues that surround the lagoon give a European aesthetic which blends surprisingly well with the dense tropical flora. And surrounding the lagoon are small pedestrian bridges and a giant artificial rock waterfall, giving the impression you are in your own tropical, luxurious paradise. While the rooms themselves are basic and relatively small, they are very comfortable and for what they are more than good enough considering the resort itself here is the main star. A great place for a family getaway, Merlin Beach offers a resort like experience for a hotel price.
