my partner and I stayed ar the MERLIN for 2 weeks on the all inclusive deal. Having read the reviews we kept an open mind all I can say it was awful the food un edible breakfast was appalling and the food was always cold ! even when you went early it all looked the same and never any flavour.... more

it is fair to say this hotel is looking a little dated, but what the hay for what we spent, how could we complain. we decided to go back again as we enjoyed it when it was called the ocean club, and we love tenerife. rooms still very clean, staff very pleasant, and despite the fact that they were aware... more

Just got back from a stay at the Merlin, and I guess this will be one of the last reviews, seen as it closed down while we were there!! Staff were given their notice as we arrived! Beware anyone who has already booked, as the Merlin is now well & truely closed so you won't be staying where you have... more

Resort was very quiet but hotel wasn't, plenty to keep you entertained if you wanted to be, weather was glorious, padded sunbeds, quiet pool and larger pool with games etc, staff friendly but overworked, food ok, you wouldn't go hungry but wouldn't put on any weight either!! Room was clean and space enough for 2, no more. Entertainment room was... more

My Partner & 2 Year old daughter have just got back from the Merlin Resort and had an absolutely brilliant time, if anyone can find a better all inclusive hotel for £325 - £375pp then i'd like to see it, the rooms are clean, the pool is great and the entertainment is 2nd to none, Van the entertainer deserves some... more

Hotel is excellent didnt want to come home. Entertainment food and rooms are great. Rooms are all clean and clean towels every day except friday and sundays. I cant fault anything about this hotel. Van is the nicest person ever he made our holiday always something to entertain people. I am a fussy eater but always found something to eat.... more

Have just come back from a week at this hotel and would definately return. Hotel itself is very basic and needs a revamp, rooms could be better if the birds didn't use the balcony as a place to stay! Food good always something for everyone. What made this holiday for me though was the staff. The bar staff work very... more
