Fantastic property with a beautiful private beach and plenty to do for all ages. Staff were warm and welcoming, food was delicious (we tried all the different restaurants during our stay). The hotel offers loads of optional activities for adults and kids alike, most of them are free and a few with an additional charge to participate. At the beach, there’s snorkeling, kayaking and stand up paddle board available during high tide, and a daily reef walk during low tide where you can see various sea creatures in the shallow pools of water. A very memorable holiday and we’ll definitely be going back!

This is a superb resort, a ten minute drive from the bustling town of Patong. Everything is there, especially for families, although with two main pools, children tended to use one and adults without kids used the other. We were all inclusive which turned out to be a great option with exceptional food and quality beers and wines included in the package. The staff were truly amazing. For info, there is a laundry just off the beach charging 90 Thai baht per kilo. Clothes had no shrinkage. Sunbeds in plentiful supply at the pools and overlooking the beach. The hotel was full. We will return.

The all-inclusive package was fantastic. Great facilities, great staff, great food. The Kids Club was excellent and my daughter absolutely loved it. Highly recommend Marriott Merlin Beach.

We highly recommend a stay here. Close to Patong 15mins hotel shuttle bus. The staff at the pool bar Mam and Dominic and at breakfast Nina at Merchant Kitchen were exceptional very friendly and hospitable. But all staff were great. We loved the happy hours at 3 locations. The private beach for snorkelling and swimming was amazing then the choice of three resort pools.

However, there were a couple of downsides during our visit. The poolside service was quite slow; it took too long to get our drinks delivered. Additionally, I encountered an unexpected issue at the gym. Despite seeing kids below 18 years working out, when I brought my son along, we were approached by a coach named Oakay, who was rather rude in informing us that my son couldn't be there. His explanation about sneakers and exercising seemed quite unreasonable.

We recently stayed at the Marriott Phuket Resort, Merlin Beach, and it was an overall delightful experience. The resort is truly kids-friendly, offering a myriad of activities that kept our little ones entertained throughout our stay. The facilities are top-notch, with two fantastic restaurants available for breakfast. We particularly enjoyed dining at the beachfront restaurant, which even boasts a cozy Starbucks corner - perfect for coffee lovers like us! The staff at the reception and in the restaurants were professional and friendly, always willing to go the extra mile to ensure our comfort.

Honestly, there wasn’t anything we didn’t like. The resort provided a comfortable and relaxing stay with excellent service and thoughtful amenities. It was a wonderful experience for us.

The resort offered a perfect blend of comfort and family-friendly amenities. The spacious pool-view room was a relaxing retreat, and the staff were warm and accommodating, even providing thoughtful touches for our little one on her first birthday! We especially appreciated the three pools, spa room, and daily happy hours on the beach! The variety of dining options made every meal enjoyable, and the food was exquisite. It was the ideal place to unwind while still having plenty of activities to keep us entertained.

More variety at the buffet, no service for children under 3 - had to outsource a nanny for my child.

Friendly and attentive staff, the team made us feel supported and welcome from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. The all inclusive package was worth the money. The facilities were great, lots of options and loved the direct access to the beach.

A bit far to the city center, but the hotel itself makes up for it.

We have been to 9 different hotels in Thailand. Marriott is 100% the favorite. Amazing!!

The location. If you think not to going out to town and just stay at hotel this property will be the perfect choice.

It was clean and comfortable.

The noise isolation of the guest room could be improved. In some nights I had the impression that elephants were living in the room above 😆

Super hotel in top location. Staff and local management were most attentive and very friendly. In this content to mention particularly the staff of the beach bar: Nina and Man.

Struggling to think of anything to be honest.

Everything and that surprised us because we like smaller hotels but this place was wonderful. The Rum Shack was our favourite place the beach area was excellent too.

The facilities have everything you need for families. Snorkelling at high tide was peaceful and fun, there are an abundance of restaurants in the resort. It never feels too busy. Amazing resort for families.

The shower leaks as you get out of it flooding the floor which meant we had a constant wet towel on the floor

Great hotel, has everything you need in one place, staff were friendly and helpful. We stayed room only and price is very fair for the outstanding experience we had! If I return to Phuket, I will stay here again for sure! People knock the location but actually the location is great, just a 10min taxi from the hotel to patong, anything further afield will obviously take longer but it’s the kind of place where this is the case anyway, especially during peak season where traffic is bad. If you want to be on the beach, this hotel has a beautiful secluded beach for guests only and is not shared with other hotels along the beach as is often the case. This made it feel like a secluded tropical paradise! Thoroughly enjoyed and have already recommended to others!
