So my choice is now the 1 BR pool villa at the JW and the 1 BR pool villa at the Ren. One person chimed in with a preference--anyone else?

if it was me i'll take JW, but i haven't been to Ren so can't compare apples to apples. when we honeymoon July 12 we enjoyed our stay at the JW . i'll be there at the JW for 5 nights in Dec.
either property i am sure you'll enjoy your time there.

I will staying at the Renaissance Phuket with my family in early January. Could someone please pm me an email address for the hotel and/or food and beverage manager? I need to make some restaurant reservations before I leave, and will also ask for an upgrade for one of the rooms (I know, my chances are close to zero at this time of year, but it doesn't hurt to ask).
In addition, the last update on the lounges open thread is from a year ago. Can someone please confirm that plats still receive 20% off food and beverage charges?
Thanks all. I am really looking forward to my stay here!

that's great.............just couldn't connect the "sky is falling post" with the Ren/JW as this fire was 20-miles away and did/will have no impact on the island nor either Marriott branded hotel here...........the island survived the tsunami and the current and ongoing innundation of Cossacks so the loss of a 2nd hand (or IMO 3rd hand) crap shop isn't a big loss.........

the December 2004 tsunami that hit Khao Lak/Phuket had an impact beyond the immediate area............but the fire at the crap shop that you posted both in the Thailand forum as well as the Marriott forum did/will have no impact on the immediate or extended area and certainly not on either the JW or Renaissance HKT.........
now if the fire was like in Sydney which is affecting the city, then I would understand your post, but the crap shop fire, nah............

Marriot Phuket Beach Club Vs Marriot Mai Khao Beach Resort
Hi Guys,
Have a choice of either staying in
Marriot Phuket beach club villa OR Marriot Mai Khao beach resort villa with plunge pool access..
Tried checking on the net, seems both are located close to each other ??
Trip advisor seems to give better ratings to Phuket beach club and their prices also seem higher than Mai Khao beach..
What are the main differences between the two properties ?
Both seem to be located way outside Phuket town.. hope cheap transport options available to town ?
Am going with wife and a kid ( 2 yrs).. considering we just want to have a relaxing weekend there, which one would u recommend ?
Seek advise..
