Independent in Wichit from NZ$60

"Gorgeous rooms, fantastic pool, great food, great beach access but the staff is what really makes this place special. They are so friendly & attentive to every need. This resort has a very quiet, serene, & peaceful atmosphere. Be forewarned that there are many stairs to climb to get down to the pool, restaurant, & beach. They do have a golf cart that can drive you to the higher levels for those who might have difficulty climbing stairs. "

"Beautiful location. We got supreme sea view - it was gorgeous! The property is spread out along a big hill. They have car pickup service to take you around - walking isn’t really recommended with everything so spread out and hilly. Recommend asking for building 4 which is near breakfast and is near drop off / pick up spot. We stayed 5 nights, which is probably a little long for such an isolated location - 3-4 days is probably fine. Infinity pool and sunsets were phenomenal."

"Excellent stay experience!"

"The buffet breakfast was amazing. The staff was well trained and helpful."

"Only Feedback was breakfast selection could be more "

"My first time in Thailand. The room itself was nice. On the negative side, it overlook a mosque. Every 2 hours starting at 5:00am, loud singing was broadcast. As a first time visiting in Thailand, this was not nice. Also the room was all the way to the back with no nice views. First impression are important. This was negative for me. "

"We had a fantastic stay at Marriott Merlin Beach. Staff were nice and attentive. Quick response to our requests. Good activities planned throughout the day for kids and adults plus live music/shows. Room was nice and clean with comfortable beddings. Food quality and variety was very good. "

"Breakfast was good and lot of selection coffee service was kinda slow as each cup had to be ordered from the waitress and due to the small sizes of the cups this created a backlog as most guest ordered multiple ones "

"All was very clean and nice"
