Marriott's Phuket Beach Club

The resort was great and the staff where fantastic. We stayed in a two bedroom apartment which was very large and had all the required amenities including a fully equipped kitchen. Our kids especially loved the children's activity play centre and the beach. The first couple of days it took as a while to get our bearings walking around the resort as it is so spread out. We only had a couple of annoyances: 1) Hotels.com advertised our breakfast as a full kitchen continental breakfast with no further description. The vast majority of guests at the hotel had a buffet breakfast at JW Cafe. To our disappointment, a Full Kitchen Continental Breakfast actually meant eating at the Siam Deli and being offered only one Beveridge and one of only a handful of menus listed in their menu. It was definitely not a full kitchen! We were not able to upgrade to the buffet breakfast and had to pay the full fee for that option. 2) We paid top dollar for our accommodation. Had we researched better, we could have had the room for close to a third of the price had travelled 2 weeks later in April.

Very clean and tidy rooms. We had a two bedroom unit. We thoroughly enjoyed our eight night stay. The kids loved their time at kids camp. We enjoyed the pools and poolside service. The hotel is a bit away from most places but we still did two full day trips away. We liked the quieter area. There are options to eat out away from the hotel. But the restaurants on site were great. Food prices not too dissimilar to Aussie food prices. We enjoyed the friendly staff Marn, Love, JJ, Nam to name some standouts. Hope to return at some point in the future.

A great resort with very good service

location, beaches, staff.

was oversold at the Christmas and New Year period. breakfast is not clearly explained on Booking.com so the cost of breakfast is ridiculous.
