I’m currently planning a trip to Phuket, Thailand for early June. For my first stay in Phuket, I’ve chosen the Courtyard by Marriott Patong Beach Resort. Located right in the vibrant heart of Patong Beach, its location is fantastic, and with 5 swimming pools and 9 diverse food and beverage outlets, it truly feels like a tropical paradise. Especially with its water slide and excellent Kids Club, I can highly recommend it as a great choice for family trips with children. Let me share the detailed information with you now.
