We felt like we had entered a paradise. The hotel is absolutely beautiful and feels safe, especially for young toddlers. As grandparents it was important to feel secure on a first time family trip to a foreign country. The JW Marriott provided everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The breakfast buffet will take your breath away.....so many choices. I've... more

We spent 10 days at the JW Marriott in Mai Khao beach, Phuket, Thailand. We started our journey with a 4 day stop in Hong Kong, staying at the JW in Hong Kong. Because our experience was so positive in HK, we had high expectations. Sadly, this JW property has a way to go. If you are looking for peace,... more

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights after 2 weeks in Chiang Mai and Bangkok. We were looking for a relaxing hotel and booked the JW Marriott. Yes, the JW is beautiful. Very pretty. Rooms are slightly above average, but the landscape around the hotel is great. My major concern is that you are removed from true Thai culture... more

I absolutely love JW Marriott Phuket, it's like a little paradise in the middle of nowhere. JW happened to be our last destination of the trip (the previous ones being IBIS patong and PP Palmtree), it was definitely the highlight. Firstly, the rooms are great. We stayed in a simple garden view deluxe room, it was very spacious and comfortable.... more

After reading the review we decided to convince another family to come... more

I would say the hardware of the hotel is very nice, but there are some problems with the software. The relatively well-kept resort is big and you can easily get lost in the winding paths. You won't get bored, there are so many activities organised throughout the day. Morning yoga, hiking, biking, tennis, cooking classes, all sorts of activities for... more

great kids club - sheet paradise - everything as described in Frommer's - and more more

I am travelling with my mother who is 73 years old and is in reasonable shape. When we both arrived at the hotel we were extremely impressed with the entire resort. Beutiful and extremely well maintained. Due to the low season we managed to get great rates for a deluxe room with amazing views. We were here at the end... more

We stayed in the JW Marriott Phuket Resort & Spa back in April ‘09 after getting an extremely good deal on the holiday. We are a young couple looking for a romantic break for our first holiday together, and stayed for twelve days. Overall it was a very positive experience and well worth the money, but as with everything there... more
