Marriott Mai Khao Beach Resort

poolside

Last week we stayed at this fantastic resort while on holiday in Phuket. The kids were thrilled when they saw the room we had a Marriot Mai Khao. We checked into the  two bedroom suite and the kids couldn’t wait to go see the room once we settled all the check in procedures.

We were all given a cup of iced watermelon drink to quench our thirst. It was an extremely hot and the kids finished drinking within seconds.

Hotel grounds
