The JW Marriot is a very classy hotel,clean, relaxing... but very far away from all the shops and city life. We booked in with the JW Marriot as they promised it had beach and pool facilities, which is really the only reason we stayed there. But when we got there, we relised that the beach was too dangerous to swim... more

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and the best time. We really did not want to leave. The beach beside the hotel is gorgeous and although the sea is probably a bit choppy for swimming, the beach is perfect for romantic strolls. The resort was quite busy when we were there but we had no problems finding... more

I went to the JW Marriott for my 50th birthday with another couple. I have been all over the world and this resort was exceptional. I've read some other reviews complaining about the service. I must say that for the seven nights we stayed the service was great! This resort is beautiful! The pools are amazing and the variety of... more

Our visit was middle of the road at best. The staff has become complacient, there is no access to other activities except for a very expensive taxi ride. The beach has no place for children to build sand castles and you cannot swim in that part of the sea. Each meal is a minimum of 35$ us and more. Unless... more

I stayed in this nice hotel for 3 nights in late April 2009. I enjoyed this hotel very much: every thing was good. Good point: -a luxury room -excellent services (with personal touch) -> they are very helpful for my mom who uses a wheelchair. -good facility & beach -lots of activities for guests->many are free such as kayak on... more

When we arrived we were greeted warmly, and taken to a nice room. Unfortunately, that was the last good experience we had other than the cooking class. The hotel seems to cater to US Tourists who want to feel like they are still in the US. Every one speaks perfect English, and greets guests in English, rather than Thai. The... more

We stayed here for a long weekend (4 nights) at the end of May. We always try to stay at Marriott’s for business and pleasure as very predictable and good quality. We arrived to rain (having left sunny Singapore) and a taxi driver who kept telling us it was "low" season and the rain wouldn't stop - not a good... more

I stayed at JW Marriott in November 2008, for a 4 days conference. The place is fabulous, including the hotel itself and the location. Situated on a very lonely 18 km beach (Mai Khao) the hotel is well-known for protecting the little turtles (you will be charged with a little daily ammount for these sympa creatures). The resort is very... more

This was our 2nd stay at JW Marriott hotels in Thailand, 1st was in Bangkok, and the hotel and location were amazing for both. One of the great selling points, which is very unusual, is the deli restaurant which served sandwiches, salads, ice cream, cakes, etc. & also had small shop. Used on various occasions and very suitable with young... more
