"We stayed here for a few days while attending a wedding nearby and would stay again if in this area. For the price, it was good value, especially compared with prices of other hotels in the area. Basic, clean accommodation. Pool is clean. Owner is lovely and helpful. Beach is across the road.If you want breakfast, just let the owner know the night before. The room had large fridges, so we bought fried rice the night before or waited till 10 when the restaurant opened. "

I loved my 6 night stay at this budget hotel.
The room was basic however had everything I needed plus it was fairly new and clean.
The hotel has a nice small swimming pool and it's other business a restaurant at the front.
You cross the road and go down a dirt track for about 200 metres and you are at a lovely beach.
The area is very quiet and nice to get away from it all with relaxing, swimming and long walks on the beach.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Merlin.
The hotel is beautifully set in a jungle oasis, yet walkable to plenty of restaurants, bars and supermarkets in the nearby village as well as some great bars, cafes and massage parlours along the beach.
The room was very comfortable and spacious, although the jungle setting did mean it was a little more difficult to make good use of our balcony due to the mosquitoes and meant a few more bugs than normal seemed to get into our room and luggage....

Great value, very nice room and room service, handy location, although would be good if you could rent a motorbike. Air conditioning in room was great, though the rest of the hotel is very hot but not a big deal given they are obviously saving energy.

Clean and comfortable rooms consistent with the photos. Good service. They helped me move my bags when I had to stay another night and switch rooms. I would stay here again.
A bonus is that they have very good coffee as well!

When we were planning this holiday in Khao Lak, the reviews for Chongfah resort were very encouraging. So we booked it and were certainly not disappointed. We had a beachfront/seaview bungalow which is probably one of the best hotel rooms I have stayed in. The attention to detail meant you had everything you needed, even a coffee machine!!
