South Thailand Vacation Packages

Wonderful hotel, so close to the beach. Tons of restaurants and shops in easy walking distance.

Our family loved our 4 nights at the Merlin Resort. The resort is set in a lush tropical forest and offers lovely rooms, several pools and a fabulous breakfast! Since our visit was in the rainy season, our weather was not perfect and the ocean was too rough for swimming. There are also big rocks along the beach so you may have to be cautious even with calmer seas. We were very pleased with the elephant trekking/bathing and James Bond Island excursions (and return transportation to the airport) booked through Mr. Moo down the beach to the right near Jo's Seafood and the lovely Peter Bar. The hotel restaurant is nice but we also enjoyed some of the places in the village a short walk away from the hotel. We also loved the cheap massages at the hotel and in the village!

Nice hotel very close to the beach, but quite dated.
