Phuket Thailand June 2016


The JW Marriott Phuket resort is is a kids-friendly resort in Phuket Thailand. It is a short 10-minute ride north from the airport and is fairly isolated from other parts of Phuket. It sits on Mai Khoa Beach, which is a gorgeous wide white sand beach that stretches for miles. We have spent afternoons on the beach and only seen a handful of other beachgoers. The water is an aqua color and feels like a warm bath. You can't help but feel relaxed immediately upon entering the resort. The open-air lobby looks out over an infinity edge reflection pool and the ocean. Some nights, performers dance and play traditional Thai music on platforms over this reflecting pool.

The grounds of the resort are amazing with tons of palms and wild flowers everywhere. The staff was constantly landscaping with hand tools, which helped keep the ambiance peaceful. There are several places to eat on the resort. You can find cheaper places to eat, but the food on the resort is delicious. We loved the Thai restaurant. There is great deli that serves awesome sticky buns. The Marriott Café changes out its dinner menu each night and has some awesome buffets. The property has AWESOME pools including one with a waterfall swim up bar. The best part of the resort is the hut staffed with a dozen Thai ladies that will give you a 30-minute massage for about $8. For shopping, there is this small shopping mall in front of Marriott Vacations Club and next to Anantara resort on Mai Khao beach - there are some restaurants, one small grocery store, a Jim Thompson outlet and some local Thai souvenir shops.
