Can't believe what had happen! Me & my wife booked our reservation few weeks in advance but to our vain we need to wait for more than 40 minutes without a room. The front desk offer us a twin bed after that but we were furious as this is our vacation & the hotel expect me to sleep seperately with my wife?!! We complained & they the ...
Nice enough city with historical and cultural sights but the political situation is just too chaotic. I would give this country a miss for a couple of years.
The JW Marriott in Phuket was indescribable location for a romantic get-away. My finance and I visited in May for 10 days. There are lots to do but it is not near anyone else. Did not seem like there was a lot there for kids, other than the pools. For us it was idyllic. We consider ourselves sophisticated travelers and this was very different ...
How do you know if you like a place? Well, after being there for 4 days we bought a 2 bedroom timeshare (HUGE), 2 weeks per year (never did this before). Great place, food, service, etc. The 1 hour massage on the beach for $15 US was fantastic, the Circus training course for my kids was a huge hit (and let the parents relax a bit in peace and ...
It's not really fair to downgrade the hotel for its location, but I've no other choice. The hotel is absolutely "top-notch" and you must expect to pay for this. However, if you want to go to or do things other than what the hotel has on-site, it's a 45 minute (or more) taxi ride to "anywhere else". Be prepared to ...

Unbelievable

Being from the US, I had no idea how beautiful Phuket would be. The people, the beach, the food all was to die for. I felt so good I did a Triathlon. A once in a life time experience. Good bye Hawaii

How relaxing
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/09/07
My husband and I are from Texas living in Doha Qatar and we took a short break from work to see Thailand. The JW Mariott Phuket Resort and Spa was, by far, the best part of our Thailand adventure. The beds are great. The hotel atmosphere was so relaxing and the massages are the best that we have ever had. I would suggest to anyone to stay here ...

Can't Wait to Go Back
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/05/07
My visit to the hotel was nothing less than superb! From the friendly and helpful staff to the beautiful rooms and public spaces to the food it was excellent. And the spa treatment was not only relaxing, but in the most beautiful spa suite I have ever seen. By profession, I travel to and select hotels and entertainment for conventions and ...
I went here with my family last year for christmas and it was so much fun. The restaurants at the hotel were really good and we took a day trip over to the islands on the other side of Phuket and the beaches were awesome. There was one where The Beach, with Leonardo DiCaprio, was filmed, and another one where monkeys ran on the around on the ...
