Fun for all the Family at JW Marriott Phuket Resort & Spa
and Marriott's Phuket Beach Club
If the Kids are happy then everyone's happy - and at JW Marriott
Phuket Resort & Spa and Marriott's Phuket Beach Club's two bedroom
villas, this is certainly the case.

 The
resort is extremely spacious, covering 11 hectares (27 acres), and
is the only property on the beautiful Mai Khao Beach which stretches
for 17 kms, overlooking the Andaman Sea.
The two properties which are fully integrated, are perfect for
families. The happy sounds of laughter are a delight to parents
who can enjoy precious time together, knowing that their little
ones are in good hands.
"The Thais adore children and also love to play and have fun
('sanuk') so the combination of the staff and children is so easy
and natural states John Webb, resort General Manager. The children
who enjoy our properties today are of course the next generation
of Marriott clients. Marriott is a family business with over 75
years experience of making memorable vacations" he continued.
One couple who stayed at the resort just after it opened felt like
they were on honeymoon again as their twin babies were taken care
of by the resort's babysitters each day while they had romantic
breakfasts together, something which they had not been able to do
since the babies were born.
The children just can't wait to get to the Kids Club each day which
has a fun-filled and varied activities program, while Mum and Dad
spend time relaxing by the pool, or pamper themselves at the fabulous
Mandara spa, play tennis or golf, catch up on reading, or just spending
quality time together. Mind you- there are often some 'big kids'
in the kids club too - and it's wonderful to see families enjoy
the activities together as they make those precious memories that
last for many years to come.
 Marriott
Vacation Club International's Two Bedroom Villas at the Phuket Beach
Club's are perfect for families. The childrens bedroom has an
adjoining bathroom and its own 29 inch Sony Flat Screen TV while
the master bedroom has a very large ensuite and its own TV. A third
TV in the lounge area enables family viewing - or Mum and Dad can
watch the news while the kids bop away to MTV - everyone's happy.
Sofa beds in the lounge and second bedroom cater for bigger families
or those who have a Nanny traveling with them.
Each villa is fully self contained and fully equipped with cooking
facilities, a full size fridge and freezer and a combined washing
machine/dryer and crockery, cutlery and glassware, giving guests
the flexibility to use these facilities, or the restaurants and
resort laundry, as they prefer.
Siam Deli has a fabulous range of gourmet foods, freshly baked
breads and pastries, salads, fruit and snacks that can be eaten
in or "to go" and even baby food. Villa guests can buy
supplies and prepare these in their 'home away from home'. Some
guests who are staying several weeks, send their 'grocery list'
to the resort prior to arrival so the villa is fully stocked while
others like to buy their own once they arrive.
Mum and Dad can enjoy romantic candlelight dinners on their balcony
after the kids are peacefully tucked in after their action-packed
day.
Villas are available for vacation ownership and have special preview
packages available. For further information on vacation ownership,

Tots and Teens - there is nothing worse than being a teenager
and going to the "Kids" club! JW Marriott Phuket Resort
& Spa have cleverly solved this problem with separate Tots and
Teens sections.
The littlies have a colorful cubbyhouse/climbing frame, wooden
toys, karaoke, a dolls house, computers and their own small sized
furniture. The fully supervised Little Turtles Activities Program
operates daily from 9.00am to 5.00pm and includes movies, games,
swimming activities, hair beading, and also a variety of activities
where the children can make jewelry, sand castles, pictures, baskets,
decorations and much more.
Today's sophisticated teenagers also enjoy the facilities especially
for them which include a large movie screen, play station, pool
table, table tennis and another section of computers which are hugely
popular, with limited internet access to avoid any viewing of inappropriate
sites.
Special Events
Fun filled celebrations are held for our little customers for special
occasions such as Christmas, Easter, Halloween, New Year and Chinese
New Year and the beautiful Thai festivals.
Family Fun
In addition to the Kids Club activities - an extensive range of
daily activities is also available for the whole family to enjoy.
An action-packed weekly activities program includes cultural classes
(Thai cooking, dancing, language, introduction to Thai Buddhism,
massage, arts and crafts, kick boxing, Batik, origami, fruit carving),
yoga, meditation, aerobics, diving, stretch classes, pilates, fit
ball, cardio funk, fitness evaluation, spirit house tour, garden
tour, photo tour, mountain bikes, beach volleyball, aerobics, tennis,
and much more. Golf is also available at Blue Canyon Country Club
which his just minutes from the resort.
Educational Conservation Program on Sea Turtles
The resort is adjacent to the Sirinath Marine National Park and
protected sea turtle nesting area. During the nesting season (November
to February) the giant leatherback turtles (which average 1.8 meters
in length) nest on the beach. Families can visit the turtle sanctuary
in the nearby village and during the "Songkran" (Thai
New Year) festival in April, the villagers release the baby turtles
into the sea.
 The
Kids Club has educational programs for children on the turtles.
As part of its grand opening ceremonies in March, the resort donated
US$45,000 to set up the Mai Khao Marine Turtle Foundation, and raises
funds to help this critically endangered species, as also conducts
educational and awareness programs for visitors and guests. In 2003,
the resort won the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) Grand
Award for the Best Environment Education Program for the Foundation.
Donations for the fund can be made the front desk.
Swimming Pools and Water Slide
The main swimming pool is enormous with a separate section that
caters especially for families, including a shallow bubble pool
and a water slide. There is still room at the main pool for those
wanting to relax in a quieter environment as it meanders over 107
meters.
The resort enjoys a high percentage of return guests including
many families who have discovered this family friendly resort.
