Marriott Phuket

Hey Turbine,

Have been coming to the Phuket Marriott for years, and it is an awesome world class resort.

If you are thinking about buying, go to the free accomodation and presentation, resist the urge to buy, and then check out the second hand market. Timeshare weeks are advertised on sites such as ebay and timeshare hypermarket. I found this out after buying the week from the Marriott, which will cost you about 3 times as much as second hand timeshares. Validity of the timeshare is about 80 years which is the remaining lease at the hotel.

Notwithstanding, it is a great resort made outstanding by the exceptional Thai service and I come back several times each year.

Stear clear of Accor or similar timeshares as they are sh_t.

PM me if you need any more info.
