Hotels near Elephant Family in Thai Mueang

The hotel is in a good spot next to the beach. The hotel is very beautiful and very large. There is a golf cart to drive you to the parking lot. The room you got was on the 1st floor of the building, a short walk from the beach. Breakfast has a variety of choices, good taste, quiet, but the door doesn't keep sound well, can hear people from outside the room. During the time I went, many parts were undergoing renovations. The golf driver was very helpful. When I opened the first room on the 4th floor, I found that the room was not yet ready, so I called to coordinate. After waiting a bit, I got a new room, very spacious. There is a balcony where you can sit and sip tea by the pond, but don't dare go out. There are a lot of insects. The bed was bad with a sinkhole in the middle. Not a good spring bed The bed wasn't completely covered with sheets. It looked like it was probably the same bed used in the student dormitory. The pillows are soft but not a bit thick, not squishy like other hotels of the same level. In the morning, before we had time to check out, the staff came to clean the room and said as if to hurry and check out. Mom and Dad said they would even walk into the room. Even though I was collecting things. I feel that since staying in many hotels of this level, This is the first and worst place I have ever stayed. Hopefully from now on the hotel will improve things.

We arrived at the HotSpring Beach Resort at the end of June '23, just a week after a new General Manager had started his new role - something we found out because he was actively meeting and greeting guests and will obviously be a great asset to the resort. He is overseeing a huge number of renovations and upgrades due for completion by the end of 2023 - and so any older reviews that speak of the resort needing some attention will now likely be redundant as the place is undergoing a major - and impressive - facelift. We were thrilled by our spacious room, the fantastic hot spring pools and the excellent contrast of the icy 'chill' pool (a rarity in Thailand, where refreshingly cold water to dip in is not so common). The staff were friendly and courteous throughout, and the grounds all the way to the beach are quite wonderful. Of course, in any transformation there is always something that still needs tweaking. Our two recommendations to the resort would be to enhance the taste and the number of vegetarian options of breakfast, which was generally a little on the bland side (though we ate two a la carte dinners at the resort restaurant which were outsanding and quite delicious). The other recommendation is to keep the beach free of the relentless flow of plastic and other garbage which the sea washes up. Although this is so common everywhere, and certainly not the fault of the resort, the beach gets a daily deposit of bottles and other plastics, and it would be great to see some efforts being made to collect and tidy the beach area as it's not huge, and this would certainly be an hour well-spent. Overall, highly recommended for a stay here - it's a unique place with such relaxing waters and the sense you're in the middle of a tropical forest with secret thermal springs just waiting to be discovered. If you're there in low season of June/Jule like us, then you won't see too many other people around and you can enjoy a lot of peace and quiet. Definitely worth a visit!

Liked the hotel! Great location - rooms are close to the beach. The beach is beautiful. Nearby there are many restaurants, shops, there is a currency exchange with a normal rate. The rooms are clean and the soundproofing is good. The breakfasts are also very good.

Our stay was such a blast that we decided to come back in the end of our trip. Everything is just perfect, starting from the gorgeous staff to the modern, luxurious rooms and the delicious food. The manager of this amazing place really has a deep understanding of hospitality and comfort. This was the most memorable place we stayed in during our trip, absolutely worth to stay in!

Our stay at Merlin Khao Lak was pretty great. We had a week there, and sincerely enjoyed the feeling of staying in a contained and nicely taken care of rain forest by the beach. The location was nearly perfect, but the beach itself wasn't very swimmable (beginning of rain season, to be fair). Fortunately, there were other beaches on the same coast that were nicer during the same time of year, so we did get time in the sea water. Even without sea swimming, the ambience from the waves and the sunsets made the beach plenty nice for us at Merlin. There is also a variety of nicepy kept pools to enjoy, though I typically don't enjoy pools personally. Service/food were both nice as well. The staff was pleasant enough, but it did feel weird that an ecologically minded resort had the least meat/dairy alternatives of any of the several resorts/hotels we stayed at. I found ordering curries with no seafood or meat simple though, and they were mostly still good. The massaman curry was a miss, but everything else I tried was quite good for resort food! We really loved the touch of the room's default tv channel being an info channel about the resort's wildlife and maintenance. That, plus the several info booklets allowed us to have a more guided and knowledgeable experience while sightseeing on the exceptional grounds. It was really fun running into others who were also just having a look around and waiting to see a different animal pop up. We enjoyed our stay. Next time we'd likely come back, while also spending some time up the coast a bit.

The only strength of this hotel is the sea view that opens the door of the room and finds it, so I lie down and listen to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach. there are many weaknesses,mainly the brightness in the room is very small,and there are many mosquitoes,and most importantly,there is only one place for the power socket.

We stayed here over a holiday weekend at the beginning of low season so the place was at maybe 35% capacity. The hotel is ideally located in an area renowned for surfing. The hotel provides board rentals and lessons at reasonable cost. We booked at the cheapest available rate and got a room at the back of the complex, which is a cluster of spartan -looking apartment blocks. The rooms were ok - there is a small sofa and a balcony with wood table and a pair of chairs. There's a window that looks out of the bathroom into the main room. The pool is nice, big and clean but needs some cosmetic maintenance. The staff are friendly enough and the beach restaurant is quite good. The beach is long with lots of sandy shallows and there is a beautiful cape a couple kilometers walk up the beach. I live in Phuket but somehow the sunsets are more stunning here. On the downside, the breakfast buffet was unremarkable, and the coffee was tasteless. We skipped it on the second morning. We spent a lot of time walking from our room through other room blocks due to its location, so if I were to stay here again (I probably would because of the location) I would book a room much closer to the beach - and bring my own coffeemaker. Due to it's layout and capacity I don't think I'd want to stay there during high season but in low season it was fairly quiet and quite nice.

Very impressed Informed that it was a honeymoon trip. have a welcome message and arrange the room beautifully Delicious welcome drink okra juice There is a staff waiting to send you to the room. The hotel is very big. And there are 4 swimming pools with complete facilities. The room is very spacious, the pool is comfortable, there are a lot of morning symptoms, the beach is beautiful, but the day when the waves are strong Impressed. Want to go again.

The staff is incredibly nice and helpful and provides 5-star quality service. The hotel location on the beach is perfect: stunning sunsets and wonderful relaxing days. Our room - on the ground floor and close to the swimming pools - was super clean, spacious and very comfortable – excellent WiFi. The restaurants offer tasty food. Overall, it would have been hard to ask for more or expect anything better! Thanks for such an enjoyable stay!! We will be back.

I am very happy to have a good time in Senmar! 1, the breakfast is particularly rich and delicious, and the daily breakfast menu is varied, the dining environment is very good; 2, the hotel has a private beach; 3, the hotel is only 1 km from the national park, just walk in the morning when it is not hot Can reach the national park; 4, the hotel has a very fine swimming pool, as well as fitness equipment and billiards table and table tennis table; 5, the hotel's ecological environment is very good, the environment is very quiet, the feeling of being awakened by the sound of birds and birds every morning Comfortable; 6, the hotel's service staff will always take the initiative to greet the guests with a smile; 7; the hotel's beach loungers are numerous, very comfortable, can be moved at will, can be sun-dried while there is a shade to avoid the sun. Therefore, this hotel is very suitable for young couples and middle-aged couples.         However, I don't recommend taking a small child, this is not due to the hotel's shortcomings (I personally, this hotel is awesome) but because: 1, the hotel has a large reef on the private beach. And the beach is not small, and there are plenty of sun loungers on the private beach and there are not many children to play, so the children can't play on the beach; 2, the hotel's three swimming pools are directly below the three three-story small rooms, children Noisy in the pool will greatly affect the rest of the guests; 3, the hotel's ecological environment is very good, even a lizard nearly one meter long, although the lizard is slow and does not actively attack people, but if the child actively provokes, it will definitely Caused unnecessary trouble; 4, the hotel did not provide any children's rides.
