Laxury resort in Maikhao Beach , JW Marriott
Speaking of Mai Khao Beach in Phuket, JW Marriott is a long-established classic hotel. JW Marriott, which has been in business for over 20 years and is famous in Phuket as a hotel. It is a hotel that every one knows the name.
Mai Khao Beach is lined with Marriott hotels. In addition to Marriott, the Renaissance is located a short distance away.Marriott is centered around JW Marriott, with vacation clubs on both sides. Even if you stay at a vacation club, you can use all the facilities of JW Marriott, so you can choose by room type.
Beachfront 1 bed suite

Since JW Marriott is a hotel facing Mai Khao Beach, some guest rooms face the beach. However, due to the limited number, direct reservations are required.

This suite features a large beachside balcony with a jacuzzi on the balcony. The bathroom in the room also has a bathtub, making it a nice room with a double bathtub.

There are beachside guest rooms, and you will have to walk quite a bit from the reception. However, the superb view is a wonderful view that can only be experienced in this room. The first floor of the suite will be a type with a pool, and the second and third floors will be suites with a jacuzzi.The balcony is recommended during sunset hours.

Let’s explain the room. There is a toilet as soon as you open the door. After passing through the corridor, there is a study corner in front of you, where you will find a desk and a sofa. The back is the bedroom area, where the beds are placed. The entire sea side is a large balcony, and the other side is a large bathroom and closet area.

First of all, you will be impressed by the large balcony. And a big bathroom.

JW Marriott’s suite is irresistible for bathtub lovers, as you can relax in either the Jacuzzi or the bathtub.

In addition to the jacuzzi, there are beach chairs and Sarah on the balcony, and chairs and tables on the garden side.

You can enjoy both the sea side view and the garden view in the guest room.

It’s a nice balcony where you can enjoy sunbathing, jacuzzi and nap without going out to the pool. And the sea view is the best. As for the jacuzzi, it is covered at check-in to prevent dust from entering. When using the jacuzzi, you can call the housekeeper to set it up. If you want a bus bubble, you can also add a bus bubble element. Don’t forget to bring your swimsuit as it is a must when using the outdoor bathtub.

If you used the outdoors with a bath bubble, the indoor bathtub is in the bathroom, so you can use it without a swimsuit. You can relax in the large bathtub with plenty of hot water. It was a nice double bathtub for Japanese people.

The JW Marriott suite was also equipped with a large closet that closed the door, making it extremely comfortable to use.The sofa, desk and chair in the living area are easy to use, and the interior is very comfortable.

It was nice to have two toilets. This suite is comfortable for families. House keeper left this snack at turn down service.
Pools and Gardens

The hotel has 3 pools. However, what was currently open was the main pool and the adult-only adult pool. The pool on the vacation club side is currently closed, so I would like to update it next time.

Half of the main pool in front of the reception is for adults. It is a slightly deep pool with a water depth of 2m. Therefore, the poolside has an adult atmosphere and is luxurious. Everyone enjoys sunbathing and reading by the pool. It’s a very nice space, so you can stay by the pool from morning till evening.

There is a children’s pool right next to the adult pool. There is a gate-like partition, which is firmly floated to prevent children from going to the deep pool.

There is also a slider, and the pool is shallow overall, making it a place where not only children but also adults can relax.

The adult pool is on the north side. It is on the north wing side.

The pool has an oasis-like atmosphere and is very quiet. The main pool was quiet enough, but if you have a lot of children, the adult pool looks very quiet and nice.

JW Marriott’s pool is so large and it makes good use of space so it doesn’t look crowded. It is a nice pool area with an adult atmosphere. You can walk out from the pool to the beach, so you can enjoy swimming in the sea, but since the waves are strong at Mai Khao Beach, we recommend playing in the sea only during the dry season.

Along the sea, there are soccer fields, swings, beach chairs, gardens and various ingenuity to make you feel at home in the hotel.

Cooking Class

JW Marriott has started a new cooking class. We have our own herb garden, and we start with Thai appetizer Mian Kam in the garden. We also grow fresh Miancum in the garden. Freshness is the life of Miancam. Add Thai small chopped shallot, lime, herbs and peanuts, and sauce to the leaves of Miancum, which is addictive. If you like spiciness, add a large amount of Thai pepper to make it even more delicious. The Thai teacher recommends 5 cuts, but it was too spicy for us

Next, we moved from the garden to the cooking class venue and started cooking in earnest. Today’s menu is Gensompura (southern curry soup), Tom kha kai (chicken coconut soup) and Yamufuapuri (banana flower bud salad). Tom kha kai is a common item, but at home, Gensompura and Yamufuapuri are dishes that I don’t often eat, so it was a very interesting cooking class.

The chef will answer all questions in English. Of course, I’m Thai, so it’s authentic Thai seasoning.The teacher will give a demonstration first, so after seeing how to make it, it is a practice.

It is easy to understand and the teacher will teach you, so even if you are trying Thai food for the first time, there is no problem at all. Rather, even people who do not usually cook can participate without being nervous. Since we are making Thai food, we do not know the standard of seasoning at all, so it is important to first observe how much seasoning the teacher has added.

However, even if I intended to season it in the same way, the finish was completely different and I was surprised. Unlike Thai food and Japanese food, the ingredients at that time also change greatly, and the amount to put in seems to change considerably from time to time. Thai food is what you taste and taste. Please taste the teacher’s recipe and model to find your favorite taste.

Sunset is M Beach Club

JW Marriott has a beach club on the Marriott Phuket Beach Club side.

A beach club that is highly recommended during sunset hours. It will be crowded, so advance reservations are recommended. You can use it with drinks only, and you can also have meals with it.

I had the Thai food I made earlier while watching the sunset at the beach club.

It’s a beach side seat that looks great with fresh coconut.

The rooftop of the bar was a rooftop bar, perfect for watching the sunset. The wind that blows in is also comfortable. And from 5:30 in the evening, there will be a saxophone performance, and the atmosphere will be even better. It is a beach club where you can spend plenty of time like a tropical country. Please visit there once when you stay at JW Marriott.

There are photogenic swing on the beach.
Benihana Japanese Restaurant

Speaking of JW Marriott’s Japanese food, Benihana! Teppanyaki is recommended. There is also fusion sushi, which is also very delicious. But after all, there’s no reason not to order teppanyaki with performance.

When we entered the store without knowing anything, when we sat down, we could hear the lively voice of “Fire ~ ~ ~” from a distance. And at that moment, it turns red all over.

Benihana is a great entertainment restaurant. Most of the chefs are from the kabuki era (restaurant name before Benihana), and we strive every day to please our guests. Each technique looks like really circus. He will show off the technique that you can think of. You must bring a camera.

I was surprised that the taste of teppanyaki, which is grilled by the chef, changes so much, unlike grilling by myself. Both chicken and pork are tender and melt in your mouth in a blink of an eye.
Breakfast @ JW Café

JW Marriott’s breakfast is recommended in one word.

It is a restaurant that serves Western to Thai food. At the buffet, freshly prepared rice is lined up in the counter. Everything looks delicious, and it’s a breakfast that you can’t miss. Rich bakery section. The noodle station is also gorgeous and has a wide variety of ingredients.

Cold cuts, single dishes, etc. are also colorful and delicious selections. It is a breakfast that both Western food lovers and Thai food lovers can enjoy. The window seats are recommended as they overlook the pool and the sea. It’s open from 7am, but it’s open until 11am, so if you visit late, it’s a great brunch.

Poolside Bar

Cocktail drinks and light meals can be ordered at the poolside bar. You can also have it on the beach chair by the pool.

It is a poolside bar that is useful for relaxing by the pool.During happy hour, you have a chance to get one free drink with one drink order.

In the abundant nature of Phuket, there are many wild birds, and there is always a tendency to be targeted for food by the pool and outside, so food is carried in a box with a lid on the bird guard.It’s a very convenient food box because you don’t have to drive away the birds.
Summary of J W Marriott

The hotel is large and you can spend a fulfilling time in JW Marriott. I want a hotel for at least 2 nights. Personally, I would like to stay at JW Marriott for about a week without doing anything. The pool, garden and sea are large, so it was a huge hotel, but it was not crowded at all. It’s close to the airport, so it’s a short distance to travel and it’s also attractive to be able to check in at the hotel. The perfect hotel to forget the hustle and bustle of the city in the wilderness.
