Guest sentiment

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.

What Marriott Bonvoy status gets you here

  • Room upgrades for Platinum Elite and above, subject to availability (select-service upgrade pool)
  • Bonus points in lieu of breakfast for Platinum Elite and above at hotels without full breakfast service
  • Enhanced Wi-Fi and a welcome amenity for all Elite tiers

Pros

  • Convenient base near Chalong Pier for island-hopping day trips
  • 280 rooms all with private balconies, plus two pools and a Kids' Club
  • Early guest reviews consistently praise the location, atmosphere, and room comfort
  • A relaxing setting away from Phuket's busiest tourist zones

Cons

  • A very new property with a small review base (roughly 140 TripAdvisor reviews), so guest sentiment patterns are less established than at older resorts
  • Not directly beachfront -- some rooms lack sea views, and Chalong Bay itself is more of a marina/pier area than a swimming beach
  • At roughly 42 km, it's one of the farther properties in this directory from the airport

The research view

What the research keeps finding

Low confidence

Themes that came up again and again across independent reviews — not a single opinion, but the patterns that repeat.

Consistently praised

  • Early reviews describe the location and overall atmosphere as excellent and pleasant
  • Rooms are described as very well maintained, clean, and comfortable
  • The on-site restaurant is praised for seafood, with breakfast served near the beach specifically mentioned

Worth knowing before you book

  • As a newly opened resort, the review volume is still small, so early positive sentiment should be treated as a preliminary signal rather than an established track record
  • Some guests note pillows are too thick and that sea views aren't available from all rooms

Is Courtyard by Marriott Phuket Chalong Bay Resort a new hotel?
