Marriott Hotels & Resorts, Lam Kaen hotels

"Yes "

"Staff were wonderful, the rooms were clean, pool was spotless and the food was great!"

"The hotel was superb with outstanding landscaped property offering top class facility in a restful and tranquil atmosphere. The staff were amazing, extremely keen to meet all our needs. The rooms are well appointed and very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent in terms of thr quality and variety. The hotel has fantastic range of facilities and activities for children. My only criticism is that given its remote location and the lack of ant local village or restaurants/ eateries, choices for dinner were limited to very expensive hotel restaurants ( costing above European prices) and a burger/ wings shack. The pizzeria closes at 4 pm. Due attention needs to be given to provide eating facilities for a range of budgets as not many can afford the highly expensive buffets. Even the a la carte beach restaurant was way too pricey."

"Everything was fantastic. Swim up room was incredible. Agree with other reviews about the hotel restaurant being pricey compared to restaurants less than a 5 min walk down the beach (with better quality food!). Would definitely stay here again if we returned to Thailand. "

"Gorgeous new modern hotel with access to a beautiful beach. Spectacular breakfast buffet with a variety of choices to please a wide range of tastes. Service was unmatched. Tanya and It in particular went out of their way to make our stay memorable. "

"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. Breakfast was fantastic with a great variation and selection. The pool areas were great and there was never a shortage of sunbeds - either by the pool or the beach. Thanks for an enjoyable stay - we’d be happy to return!"

"Clean room, staff excellent, swim up pool lovely "

"Amazing staff with clean rooms and services. Taxi service around the hotel, so you don't have to walk up the steep hills. "

"Had the most amazing 8 nights in the sands. The staff were so friendly. Would recommend! "
