The Westin was falling apart from the moment it was built. I recall light switches installed upside down from day one, then tiles falling off, walls cracking etc.
It will need to close and have a serious rebuild.
That said, I believe the RC USM isn’t up to the usual RC standard and Mariott can’t do very much.

.There is also the announcement of the profit for the last quarter of 2022 for AWC by Khun Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi's daughter, Ms. Wallapa Traisorat, and the news that she gave on several of their properties.
"AWC has continued to enhance its asset portfolio in the Hospitality Business Unit by investing in The Westin Siray Bay Resort & Spa, Phuket and dusitD2".

Stayed there twice, really dilapidated and no swimmable beach. It is also a good 20-30 minutes from Phuket town. No local restaurants nearby and built on incredibly steep hill making a buggy a necessity. I suppose if they think they will get $500 plus per night, good luck to them.

Hi did anyone stay in this hotel recently? I have reserve a room for two nights in Aug but still struggling if it worths for a stay given that there are so many competitive options in Phuket.
Also would like to know the latest elite member benefits for this hotel.
Many thanks
