Description of hotel: Marina Phuket Resort in Phuket

The hotel is located on a headland between Kata and Karon Beaches, set in the midst of a private tropical garden and coconut plantation of 17 acres. It is about 45 minutes from Phuket International Airport. Links to the public transport network can be found within walking distance. Restaurants, bars, exciting nightlife and shopping opportunities can all be found nearby, and are easily accessible by car. The same is also true of Chalong Temple, Phrom Thep Cape and Phuket View Point. One of Phuket Island's major attractions is its thousand-year-old Buddhist history, which has given rise to a unique artistic culture. The island is also abundant with lush foliage and palms. The resort, which was renovated in 2007, offers an embodiment of these two elements, with nature and artistic culture brought into perfect harmony. There are 89 rooms in total. It has a lobby, 24-hour reception, hotel safe, currency exchange facility, mini-supermarket, 3 restaurants, Internet and WLAN access (the latter subject to fees), as well as a laundry service (subject to fees). Parking facilities are available to guests arriving by car.
