Yes ... Id agree with everyone, and if its possible to change without losing any or too much money - then I would. We stayed at the Merlin for 10 nts and it just wdnt be the same "tropical paradise" if there were renovations, noise and mess going on everywhere. We actually stayed in building 4 and I thought they looked like they were ready for a makeover!!!
Den... there are actually 6 buildings at the Merlin and 3 pools. Building 1 and 2 are closest to Beach Road, building 3 and 5 are next to No. 1, Building 6 is near the reception and then building 4 is on the other side, near the tennis court. Yes ... there are 3 pools there are they are great, and it wdnt be the same if there were only 2!! But I dont know which pool is Pool 3, Im assuming it would be the one near building 4, which we thought was the best pool and the only one we swam in.
Anyway .. yes if you can, Id suggest you try and change.
