Spent 2 weeks here in April 2008. We stayed in a villa with our two teenagers. We loved it and would recommend it. The only downside there is that, for Thailand, the meals were expensive. Wine is very expensive too. Having said that, the villas are beautifully decorated and spacious with every facility required. And clean. The setting is out... more

We have recently returned from an 11 night stay at this hotel and had a great time. I travelled with my husband and 2 daughters, aged 15 and 12. We stayed in one of the 2 bed vacation club villas as we are Marriott vacation club owners. The hotel, the grounds and the location were superb. The service and Thai... more

first off, a caveat.... this place is at the other side of everything. it IS isolated. however, considering what phuket looks like down by patong, i find that a plus. it's a half hour into town by car easily available at the front of the hotel anyway. nothing is that hard to get to and it makes returning to the... more

I had booked this resort for all four of our nights in Phuket but at the last minute panicked with all the posts about children everywhere and the hotel being so secluded, so I changed the last two nights to the Banyan Tree, but in hindsight would have booked all four nights at the Banyan Tree. I kept the Marriott... more

My family (2 adults + 2 children) went to this resort based on the rave reviews we read on this site and others. We were somewhat dissapointed. Although the resort was beautiful our complaints were: 1. Approx 1 hour drive to shopping and restuarants towards the south of the island. Not only is this a long drive it is expensive:... more

Family of 6, kids age 11 and 7, stayed here April 2008 for 4 nights. We were in garden rooms in the hotel, which shares facilities (pools, mini-market, deli, restaurants, bars, spa, tennis, fitness, etc.) with the timeshare on-site. The hotel is nearer the beach and has the better views and all the facilities. The timeshares are set off to... more

We spent 4 nights here and were really delighted with our stay: I spend 40 nights per year (on business) in hotels so I am quite meticulous when I have time off. This property exceeded all my expectations. The (Thai) people are just a pleasure to be with - nothing is too much and they would go way beyond to... more

JW Marriot in Phuket is a huge hotel with an enormous private beach. The hotel itself is quite oriental which makes it a perfect place to relax. The rooms share the zen feeling and are also very clean and tidy. There are quite many restaurant alternatives. The only problem is that they close very early like the bars inside the... more

This hotel far exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived we were treated to luxury and in fact we chose to extend our stay rather than return to Bangkok before flying home. The room was immaculate and really lovely and comfortable with good views of the garden and the sea in the distance! The landscaping was beautiful and there... more
