We liked the room we stayed in. It was so comfortable-from the beds to the kitchen, they thought of every detail. Our balcony felt very private. Loved having laundry in the room. The staff was so friendly and went above and beyond every single time we interacted with them. Excellent property and services! So well maintained. We also liked that there was a sister property that was walkable. We frequented the Turtle Island shopping center for dinner and shopping as well. The kids absolutely loved the pool areas. We would definitely stay here again!

We had an amazing stay here. The room was huge, we stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment. It was perfect with two young kids. Also so nice that it had a washer and dryer in the room free of charge. Our kids loved going to the kids club and they were able to stay as long as they wanted. Food is good at the Zest restaurant, mini golf was fun and everyone was very friendly. We will definitely come back again next time we visit Phuket!

Zero Complaints

The cleanliness and courteousness is top tier. Marriott has 2 properties next to each other. Choosing which to stay depends on what you’re looking for. If you want a condo style suite with bedrooms and/or private pool, choose Marriott Mai Khao. If you’re on a couples getaway or don’t care about having your own space in the room, choose JW Marriott…but you can’t go wrong with either!

Suitable for families with younger kids

Lots to do, and you can use the restaurants at the sister hotel JW Marriott & charge to your room, but not the facilities, which was odd.
Beware, this hotel is not on the beach. You have to take a buggy or bus to the JW Marriott (which is in the beach) and then through the hotel. If I’d had know I would book JW instead

Great for families / large apartment style

The room we stayed at in the Mai Khao Marriot was fantastic. Imagine staying in a 2000+ ft style penthouse; equipped with 2 bed, 2+ baths, kitchen, and a washer/ dryer. As a bonus, there is a small but well organized / fun activities to drop off the kids. The staff was also super friendly and nice. Their is a convenience store and a quite yummy late night pizza restaurant (serving more than just pizzas) at turtle village nearby. The small downfall would be that it was a bit busy when we stayed (despite saying it was down season - July) and the shuttle. This \"family\" style Marriot shares its services (spa / beaches) w the not so close JW Marriot. It takes a shuttle bus to get there or a 20m walk. The shuttle at times took longer than 20m and sometimes was way to small to occupy all waiting guests. Overall, I do recommend the Mai Khao Marriot.

It's called a Beach resort. but it's actually not on the beach. To get to the beach, you have to take the hotel shuttle to the other Marriott which is beachfront. However, you don't have access right to the pool and beach front amenities, such as lounge chairs. It's also over an hour drive away from Phuket's town, shopping, restaurants and beach activities. It's a nice hotel, but doesn't have much Phuket into it. You may as well staycation in your local resort.

Marriott Vacation Club at Mai Khao

1. Mr Gee, Mr Pu, Ms Nadia, Ms Pia,Ms Pete, the house keeping, waiters at breakfast. Mr Gee is always concerned with how the guests are faring. Mr Pu like wise. Ms Nadia conducts fun fitness activites for the children and parents.. Ms Pete is friendly and always accomodating. There is a fire dancing show, numerous activies for children and family. There is small pond fishing for children, face painting, rock climbing, bicycles, If you have young children, thnis is a great resort to go to. I wouild recommend it to family and friends.

2. Some things that I would request for if i revisit. Marriott Vacation Club building is in a tropical area so there will be insects and mosquitos (sometimes) around. Upon check in , you will want to ask for incense and matches. If you were given a personal pool, be sure to have the pool filter working so its \"cleaner\". if there is a damp smell in the room, ask for a dehumidifier. There are convenient shuttle buses that ferry guets from the JW marriott club to Marriott vacation club. Guests will want to check out the sunset at the beach. When it gets dark, you can call for a buggy to pick you up, 1 improvement would be to have the buggy phone closer to a place that has better lighting becaus the path that leads back to marriott vacation club is quite dark after sunsent.

Nice resort with a big 2-bedroom 2-bathroom apartment + large balcony, so great for families. Not a great deal to do in the resort itself, which is a problem as it a decent walk to the beach and a long way from most of Phuket's attractions.

Pleasent hotel with great staff. Lots of activites for kids at the kids club. Good facilities for adults too. Kids pool is relatively small, expected something a little bigger. Food is expensive, not value for money... you’re better off eating at some of the restaurants walking distance from the hotel.

Great 2 bedroom apartments

The accommodation was probably nicer than the online pics so that was a nice surprise. Grounds nicely tendered too. But the resort was smaller than expected (but not small) and also not on the beach which is perhaps a 5 minute walk away or a jump on their shuttle which runs every 15 mins. Powerlines behind the property are ugly but that was a minor annoyance. Kids club was great and was used by our kids that hate kids clubs. Eating and drinking gets expensive here (175bht inc ++ for your morning coffee), but possible to eat some things without breaking the bank. To get better Thai prices you need to walk out of the hotel maybe 5-10 minutes which we never did. A shuttle service connects the neighbouring Marriott properties but again we never visited these. Overall a great resort but for us it was a short stay closer to the airport after visiting Phi Phi (much better than Phuket in my view). It won't disappoint provided you are not looking to be connected to unlimited choices of restaurants and shops. This is very much a 5 star hotel area.

The only draw back was that the resort was not right on the beach. Traveling with little kids and lots of beach related items, it makes the longer walk an inconvenience.

Wonderful Stay with the kids

We have just returned from the best holiday at Marriotts Mai khao beach. The staff were wonderful, the kids club was great fun and our room was fab. The kids loved the splash area and kids slide! We had a villa with plunge pool which was a lot bigger than expected and great for chucking the kids in when you are sorting lunch out. Only gripe was the food and drink was very expensive at the restaurant. We downloaded the tesco lotus app and had shopping delivered to the hotel which helped save. The 2 bed villa was awsome for our family of 5 (kids aged 2, 4 and 5) and the cleaners kept it nice
