We had an amazing 6 days stay at Bengsak Merlin Resort during our 3 weeks stay in Thailand. The resort is brand new and very relaxing - just like the pictures showed on internet. The whole hotel, inkl. rooms are very clean and fresh. The rooms are big, with a very luxourius and spacious bathroom (both shower and bathtub). Towels are being changed twice a day. Internet is working in the whole resort, inkl. beach. Balcony with amazing view towards the beach and pool-area, and aircondition in every room. Good roomservice. Well equipped gym with all you need (and yoga-classes every morning). There are three large pools with poolbar, along with a private beach with sunbeds. Very quiet and relaxing. Food in the resturants is fantastic with a good variation both thai and western cousine, bbq and buffet. The staff are very helpful and serviceminded. Be aware that the area are a bit quiet and far out, so this is the perfect place if you want to have a relaxing holiday. Khao Lak is aproximatly 20 minutes by taxi from the resort. Would love to come back someday, and will recommend this hotel to family and friends.
