Wow! The JW Marriott Phuket Beach Club is amazing. The location is right on Mai Khao Beach, most
of it protected, so no high-rise buildings or over crowded busy streets, just
pure bliss. The property is huge and lush
with 3 unique pools with lots of water falls and multiple level decks for beach
views. Many restaurants on site and most
of the area is open air, so we had outdoor seating most of the time. We spent most of our time relaxing, reading
(my first non-diabetes book since my trip to New Zealand almost 3 years ago),
swimming and sampling the pool bar beverages….yes there was a swim up bar! Sea
turtles nest here during the winter but we didn’t see any. Lots of tiny crabs on the beach. Our one big
excursion was to “James Bond Island” a unique limestone island with rock
formations and caves/overhangs from the water.
The man with the Golden Gun filmed a scene there and the name is now so
popular that all the locals call it by the nick name. We hired a boat for our family and spent a
full day on the beautiful Phang Nga Bay. The boat had a 3-person crew-father
was boat captain, wife was chef and son was deck hand) they were very attentive
and we enjoyed the amazing scenery-we thought we were in Avatar or in Jurassic
Park. Stunning.
Today we are heading back to Singapore to overnight before
our flight home. We leave Singapore at
9:45 am Friday 1/6/17 and arrive home at 8:35 am Friday 1/6/17-Time Travelers!!
It has been a great trip, but we are all ready to get back
home, see the cats, and start our new year!
Thanks for reading along with us!
