Stayed there once.

Rooms nothing special and smallish. The pool has a fishbowl feeling, i.e., little privacy.

For similar money, the Hyatt is leagues ahead, big river pool, more greenery, just a better experience, IMHO.

If you prefer somewhere more central, stay at the Hilton or Sofitel.

Of these four hotels, I rank the Marriott at the bottom of the list.

I went to the Marriott a week ago, didn't check out the rooms, just went to visit a friend. I thought the pool looked great, the spa area was really nice too.

I don't know if Ropongi is right in that the Hyatt is better than the Mariott, 'cause I never stayed at the Hyatt.

Why didn't I stay at the Hyatt? 'Cause it's far from town centre and if you want to spend time in taxis or tuk-tuks, there are alternatives like Chiwa-Som, Anantara, Dusit, Evason etc which I believe could even better.

I believe Sofitel has it all, but Mariott is absolutely very nice and in a quite good location too.

Have a nice holiday there! Smile

The Hyatt's a five minute tuk tuk ride to town central or a nice walk along the beach to start the evening.

As I said, different league to the Marriott with its Holiday Inn rooms. Cheers

Hi pj,
I would usually suggest getting out of the hotel and eating local, but if you are feeling lazy/jet lagged/romantic and are at the Marriott, try their Italian/fusion restaurant Ciao for dinner. It looks lovely at night, food is good and it overlooks the beach.
