Concierge "Ultimately, the main reason to stay here is the away-from-the-fuss location. The island's longest stretch of undeveloped beach—Hat Mai Khao—is located just inside the park."
Frommer's "Relaxation. If ever a resort fully embodied this ethos, it is the Marriott." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler95.0
""The grounds make the words lush, spectacular, and creative come to life." For some, the location on Mai Khao Beach is "so removed from everything else on the island"." Full review
Travel + Leisure "An elegant property that welcomes children, on the secluded Mai Khao Beach; the 3 restaurants were renovated in 2009. " Full review
Star Service "Located north of the airport, abutting a beautiful long white-sand beach, this classic Marriott is a large-scale resort tucked in between the Renaissance and Marriott's time-share interests." Full review
