Marriott Bangkok Resort & Spa - which rate to pick?
I am planning to spend a 2-night weekend in Bangkok with my wife and thinking about the Marriott Bangkok Resort & Spa...and there's 2 rate plans that I am thinking about right now:
USD 129++ (~USD 300 total for 2 nights)
Standard Room (38 sq m)
USD 220++ (~USD 520 total for 2 nights; 2 nights minimum)
Junior Suite (46 sq m, just slightly bigger)
Room service breakfast
Club lounge access/benefits
Airport transfer roundtrip
A 60-minute spa (I assume it would be for each person? or really only one?)
A dinner for 2 at Manohra Cruise
- I assume as a Platinum I would get access to the club lounge anyway (am I right in this? do I get access in this resort, especially on weekends?) and can have breakfast there (the package allows room service too, but I don't think it's that important)
- Airport transfer, maybe cost USD 15 x 2 = USD 30 otherwise?
- Spa, assuming it's for two, maybe cost USD 50 x 2 = USD 100?
- Dinner for two, maybe cost USD 100 at most?
- Junior suite vs. standard room, but just slightly bigger. Or maybe by booking a junior suite I would have a greater chance getting upgraded to an even bigger suite (based on my Platinum status)?
I know it's very much a personal choice question...but just wanna see if people think it's worth it doing the package? Or am I better off just booking the standard room and paying everything else out of pocket (and assuming I can get free club access / breakfast) ? Or would people recommend the JW Marriott instead? (I picked the Marriott Resort & Spa because it gives me a more resort feel / a more relaxing weekend, instead of the JWM which I think may be more business-oriented?)
Thanks for any comments you might have !!
