Merciel Retreat & Resort

wonderful retreat for us! Simple and nice setup with accessible beach not directly infront of the resort but on the right. (do visit the small beach store operate by the family with daughter, yummy BBQ prawn squid + coconut!) We got a wonderful surprise like the rest. Balloons and birthday cake was setup for us without notice! Simply lovely gesture! Only gribe is the hot water system is not equipped for the bath tub. Only manage to fill 20% with hot water and waited for 1 hour for the heater to heat up. By then, the water in the tub is cold. All 3 attempt to have a 50% filled tub is.......... ALL COLD ! And the in-house massage service... nothing to be fancy about. Anyway, both restaurant just outside the resort are great! K2 especially, very consistent in their food quality!
