The location is lovely. A beautiful beach which is safe to swim from and extensive gardens and pools. The feel of the whole hotel is one of being built in a peaceful location within the jungle.
There is lots of room for everyone with wildlife all around. Breakfast was first class and is in a lovely location, overlooking a pool and gardens. The room was clean and really nice and every single member of staff we came across during out stay was friendly and helpful.

The most amazing nature-friendly resort in Thailand. They care about nature and animals as well as their guests. The staff is extremely polite and always smiling and willing to help.
There are different activities every day that you can sign up for as well as different food buffets every night if you wish to try something different. They offer a gym, a tennis court and a spa with massages and sauna. The pools are really nice and there is no huge crowds or people reserving all the sunbeds early in the morning.
For us the best part was the food which was absolutely amazing and the nature inside the resort, with a huge variety of animals. Also we went in March and there were almost no mosquitoes.

A little corner of paradise! We had an unforgettable stay in this aptly named hotel: Rainforest meets the sea! The staff is attentive, friendly, smiling, and alert (tea and coffee are served directly in your cup at breakfast).
Our room was simple but comfortable, spacious, and the hygiene is impeccable. The bedding is excellent, even the baby bed is very service, offers very high-quality, fresh, delicious products at a very reasonable price. The garden is lush, maintained daily by an extraordinary team of gardeners. The pools are splendid, surrounded by vegetation, ultra-clean. The deckchairs are very comfortable. Despite the crowds in the hotel, there is a friendly atmosphere. Everyone greets each other. And you never feel like you’re stepping on each other’s toes because there is plenty of
space and different areas (those who prefer the pool with a slightly festive slide, those who prefer a quieter pool, the beach). Children are truly welcome. A park with swings, slides, sand games, balls, floats, and high chairs are available. We feel truly pampered by the hotel staff. This was our best vacation ever! We were able to recharge our batteries as a family and dream of coming back next year. A huge thank you to the entire Merlin team in Khaolak!!!
