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

Even picky eaters will find something here, with nearly a dozen outlets to choose from.
Rough Guide "Complemented by high standards of service, this luxury resort offers well-appointed rooms, a spa, two tennis courts and no less than seven restaurants."
Fodor's "Wow: this secluded resort offers the longest stretch of sand on the island and has spotlessly clean, luxurious rooms with impeccable classic Thai design." Full review
Lonely Planet "So big there’s a free shuttle to get around it, the Marriott wends its way around swimming pools and lily ponds along a steep light-gold beach – at night it’s lit by flaming torches."

"JW Marriott Phuket Resort & Spa is one of the most luxurious resorts (with a price tag to match) in Phuket." Full review
Jetsetter "Family-friendly Mai Khao Beach resort with three pools, 11 restaurants and bars and an award-winning spa." Full review
