Make sure the Merlin you are looking at is the one actually in Patong and not the new Merlin which is 3 miles out of town at Crystal Bay.

Actually:
Merlin Beach Resort -----> Chrystal Bay
Merlin Patong -----> Patong
Merlin Phuket ------> Phuket Town
Merlin Khao Lak ------> Khao Lak
So make sure you don't get them mixed up.
For couples that like to stay in a resort that has nice pools, i think Merlin Beach Resort is nicer then Merlin Patong, but for me Merlin Patong wins on the location, 3 nice pools and decent rooms
