Phuket Marriott Resort & Spa, Merlin Beach

Beautiful staff The pool access room was amazing

Clean, good food & staff

All good

The hotel location is very central and not to close to the main Patong area. Unfortunately the weather was not conducive to swimming in the sea this trip but we have had wonderful snorkelling and swimming experiences here before.

Big spacious property with great facilities.

Honeymoon trip, and they gave us two single beds pushed together which usually isn't an issue. But this time they were to middle lamps in the middle meaning we couldn't sleep in the middle of the bed for safety reasons. (Bear in mind we booked a king bed on the "elite floor.") The staff were surprisingly unfriendly. Had 3 encounters with 3 separate staff that made the trip slightly unpleasant. We went on a honeymoon trip and stayed in top hotels in Bali and Phuket and found the staffs willingness to help and general mood was far off radisson in Uluwatu, royal pita maha in Ubud) Was also put in contact with a Marriott bonvoy agent as I was interested in joining. But this trip has made me unlikely to consider it
