Tucked into its own quiet cove at Tri-Trang, just south of Patong, this Marriott gives families a secluded beach with the buzz of town only five minutes away by taxi. Three pools include a family pool with a waterslide and splash pad, and the Bam Bam kids club looks after ages four to twelve with crafts, Thai games and a butterfly sanctuary visit. Ten restaurants and bars mean nobody goes hungry or bored. It is the sweet spot for families who want a calm base but still like being close to the action.
The rooms
Family rooms and suites sleep four, and the terraced hillside layout means the best family rooms sit close to the family pool and the Bam Bam club. Cots are free on request, and connecting rooms suit larger groups. The resort's ten restaurants and bars make fussy-eater nights much easier than a one-restaurant island.
