Courtyard by Marriott Phuket Chalong Bay Resort

A newly opened, 280-room Courtyard resort near Chalong Pier, positioned between Phuket Old Town and the southern beaches as an island-hopping base.

Last updated July 31, 2026

Courtyard by Marriott Phuket Chalong Bay Resort is one of the newest Bonvoy properties on the island, opened near Chalong Pier -- a popular gateway for island-hopping day trips -- and roughly midway between Phuket Old Town and the Kata-Karon beach area. It offers 280 rooms with private balconies, two pools, a Kids' Club, and a small dining set built around an all-day bistro, a swim-up bar, and a bakery-café. Early guest feedback, drawn from a still-small base of roughly 140 TripAdvisor reviews given how recently the resort opened, is positive: reviewers describe an excellent location and atmosphere, well-maintained and comfortable rooms, attentive staff, and a relaxing setting away from the busiest tourist zones, with the seafood restaurant and beachside breakfast singled out for praise. Because it's such a new property, this sentiment should be treated as an early signal rather than an established pattern -- there simply isn't yet the volume of reviews that exists for the island's longer-running resorts. Minor guest notes include overly thick pillows and the fact that not all rooms have sea views, consistent with an inland-adjacent Chalong Bay location rather than a beachfront one.
