Phuket Marriott Resort and Spa Merlin Beach

Beautiful hotel with 3 big pools and many restaurants and bars (also food served at the bars)! The food and cocktails are good (some of them a bit too sweet). There's a total of 6 hours happy hour (buy one get 2) at the hotel with different bars. Breakfast is very good with lots of different fruit (mango, dragon fruit, passion fruit, lychee etc) which I loved. The location is very quiet but there is a 10 minute shuttle bus to Patong beach (a very noisy area with lots of restaurants and bars) and back. The only thing missing is a mini bar in the room with wine and snacks. There is only an empty fridge. There's free yoga at the hotel but it's a bit early (8 am) and lots of other activities. Overall a very good choice for a hotel!

We stayed at this beautiful hotel for several days and overall had a pleasant experience. We had both breakfast and dinner included in our stay, and the service was consistently high-quality. The rooms were spacious, clean, and nicely designed. The hotel grounds are also beautiful and very well maintained. The food served at the restaurant offers something for every taste, and the prices are quite reasonable. The beach is lovely, but the entrance into the water is difficult due to many rocks and corals, making it unsuitable for children. In my opinion, the hotel could at least clear a section in the middle of the beach by removing the larger stones to create a more comfortable swimming area. Unfortunately, all these positive aspects were overshadowed by one major issue: the lack of sound insulation in our room. During the night, a lot of noise entered the room — mainly through the entrance door, but also through the thin walls that are not soundproofed. If you plan to stay here, I recommend avoiding rooms located close to the reception area, as you may not be able to sleep due to constant noise from staff or other guests. I would gladly return to this hotel in the future, but only after improvements are made regarding sound insulation. I am writing this review with the hope that the hotel will take this feedback into consideration and continue to improve, as it has the potential to become even better.

This is one of the best memorable vacations my family had. We got room upgraded to one of the best suite in the compound. Kids got welcome gift and we received numerous small gestures throughout our stay, the staff made their best efforts as a team to make the guests feel welcome and proactively approached us to provide help. There are 7 restaurants and we tried 4, all Marriott’s quality. The buffet breakfast is good quality and choice is great. Beach is private and good spot for snorkeling and other sea activities. Hotel vibe is positive and festive. No dull moment during our stay. We will come back again definitely.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding stay – truly memorable We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Phuket Marriott Resort & Spa, Merlin Beach. The accommodation, food, and service were all exceptional from start to finish. The resort is beautifully maintained, peaceful, and perfect for relaxation. The wellness and health facilities are outstanding – immaculate, well organised, and a real highlight of our stay. A special thank you to Nina, Ammy, Fay, Tuk, Patrick, Mr A, and Patty who went above and beyond to make our stay so memorable. Their warmth, professionalism, and genuine care made a huge difference and truly reflect the high standards of this resort. We couldn’t fault anything and would highly recommend this hotel. We look forward to returning.

We had a wonderful stay at Marriott Merlin Beach and were truly impressed by the warm, family-friendly hospitality throughout our visit. Our room was kindly upgraded, and when we requested a location closer to the Kids Club, the team thoughtfully rearranged our room assignment. The Kids Club staff were especially kind and attentive, even taking care of a forgotten item for us. Housekeeping was also very thoughtful. Noticing that we were traveling with a child, they provided helpful small touches, such as extra supplies and arrangements that made our stay even more comfortable. The beach is clean, calm, and beautiful, creating a peaceful resort atmosphere. At the same time, the hotel offers convenient access to Patong Beach, making it an ideal balance between relaxation and accessibility. We also enjoyed both breakfast venues, each offering a great start to the day. Although we stayed at a more expensive resort earlier in our trip, we felt that the hospitality here was more genuinely attentive and heartfelt. While the shuttle service to Patong could be more frequent, this was only a minor point. Overall, we highly recommend this hotel for guests who want to enjoy the convenience of Patong while returning to a calm, comfortable, and family-oriented resort. We would happily return.
