Phuket Marriott Resort & Spa, Merlin Beach
Overview
Based on the pretty west coast of Phuket, Merlin Beach Resort is a serene and peaceful family-friendly retreat offering luxurious comfort in style. It is ideally located, far enough away from Patong’s party zone to be quiet, but close enough to make it easy to get where the action is.
This resort is ideal for families, with spacious rooms and three swimming pools, including the large main pool, which meanders around the resort. There’s also as a children’s pool and a baby splash pool. There is a total of six restaurants, all offering something a little different, although our favourite is Chang Thai, serving up authentic Thai dishes.
You can’t get bored here – when you’ve had enough of sunbathing and swimming why not try a Thai cooking class or some vegetable carving? Or if you feel the need to get active there is water polo and aerobics. Then you can visit the spa for a massage and relax in the evening – the perfect day, every day. Situated only a five-minute drive from Patong Beach, if you’re looking to party in the evening, it couldn’t be easier.
Top Tip: For families with children under 12, the hotel guarantees interconnecting superior and deluxe rooms year round.
