Trapeze flying, batik painting, and organic vegetable planting. Milk and cookies at turn-down. A bakery with a selection of old-school American candy. A pool with water fountains, giant turtles, a life guard-assisted slide, and continuous bubbles. Free popsicles from noon until three every day. Two baby elephants walking the resort’s extensive property and occasionally playing in the surf. A newly-renovated kids club. Giant scoops of ice cream atop home-made waffle cones. You guys, this is the place: the JW Marriott Phuket.
