No grand opening, no expensive launch campaign, no viral videos or celebrity sightings – yet the Phuket Marriott Resort and Spa in Nai Yang beach seems to have done the impossible – it made a name for itself just weeks after it opened for guests. And that’s on an island overrun with luxury resort. Here’s how it was done.
The Location
Phuket Marriott Resort and Spa in Nai Yang is located literally minutes away from the rest of the world, that is a five minute drive from Phuket international airport. But that doesn’t make it an airport hotel, it’s a luxury beach-side resort in every sense of the word. And its proximity to the airport makes it an ideal choice even for those on short weekend breaks, with no time to waste to navigate Phuket’s traffic. Out of the plane and straight on the beach.
The Beachfront
Many Phuket’s resorts boast beachside locations but few enjoy a setting as exquisite as the one of the new Marriott. The thoughtfully designed resort opens up to the lovely Nai Yang beach – a wide strip of sand with a blissful local feel. It can be best experienced at the resort’s beach villas which are set just a few meters away from the sand, as is its Big Fish restaurant and the seafront bar.
The Service
Phuket Marriott Resort and Spa in Nai Yang employs only carefully selected and well trained staff, and it shows – from the moment you enter the resort’s impressive, airy lobby to the very checkout and last waves good bye, you will be surrounded by service-minded, kind and friendly people. Whether it’s at the spa, at the restaurants or just about anywhere on the resort’s premises, the level of service is truly outstanding, as proven by the opinions of former guest expressed on TripAdvisor – few forget to mention how professional the staff is.
The Design
Many words can be used to describe the feel that Marriott’s thoughtful design invokes – open, airy, light, natural, relaxing… With 11 kinds of rooms the resort offers something for all tastes and preferences, for guests from afar and nearby. What all guests will share is the size-able pool a stone throw away from the beach and the panoramic view from the lobby, which is among the best such vistas in Phuket.
The Name
With a name like Marriott it’s difficult to go wrong. The world famous hospitality brand invokes best connotations – of course those of luxury, unique experience but first and foremost of spotless service resulting from the company’s philosophy of putting people first. At Phuket Marriott Resort and Spa in Nai Yang you can truly Travel Brilliantly.
