South Thailand hotel rooms a the Centara

"After reading reviews I was sceptical, but with so little choice for budget accommodation on the island this exceeded my expectations, yes the decor is dated, but the A/C & WIFI worked great, breakfast was ok, pool looked lovely great location, and most of all it was clean!!! Most of all I’d like to thank the staff member who went above and beyond to help us with our luggage, really wish I’d gotten his name, he met us when our boat arrived and even showed us to our room, and helped us out on leaving too, very grateful for his help! I highly recommend this resort if you are looking to keep cost down during your travels "

"Exceptional Stay at Marriott Merlin Beach Phuket Our family had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Marriott Merlin Beach Phuket! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always smiling. Their warmth and attentiveness made us feel right at home. We were particularly touched by the thoughtful touches for families — our children loved the extra gowns, slippers, bath bombs, and kids’ activity bags provided specially for them. It’s those small, genuine gestures that make such a big difference. The food selection was excellent, offering a wide range of delicious options. We did encounter a small hiccup when a halal-labelled item was initially cooked on the same surface as pork, but the way the team handled it truly stood out. Rather than dismissing the concern, they took it seriously, addressed it immediately, and ensured all future dishes were prepared separately. They were problem-solving focused, sincerely apologetic, and even offered thoughtful little extras to make up for the oversight — a gesture we deeply appreciated. We also loved the amazing Halloween celebrations, which were full of creativity, festive energy, and wonderful themed treats — a highlight for both kids and adults! The resort’s coral beach is absolutely beautiful, especially for those who enjoy snorkeling or exploring marine life. While it’s not ideal for swimming due to the coral, it’s still a lovely and unique feature that adds to the resort’s charm."
