News and reviews of Thailand's best hotels and restaurants

The Courtyard by Marriott Phuket, Patong Beach Resort, leverages its prime location and varied eateries to offer travellers a seamless blend of beachside relaxation and vibrant nightlife, with nine dining venues catering for all tastes and occasions.
Courtyard by Marriott Phuket, Patong Beach Resort is leaning into Patong’s easygoing, beach-first rhythm with a dining line-up that gives travellers plenty of choice without leaving the property. Just a short walk from Patong Beach, the resort combines a waterfront setting with nine food-and-drink venues, ranging from early-morning coffee stops to sunset cocktails and relaxed poolside meals.
For guests who want the classic Phuket holiday mix of sun, casual dining and social energy, Endless Summer Beach Club is the most obvious draw. Set on the sand, it pairs sea views with sunbeds, drinks and a menu that spans seafood and wood-fired pizza, while family-friendly entertainment helps keep the atmosphere lively into the evening. The resort also points to its four outdoor pools and Kids’ Club, making it a practical base for families who want easy meals and entertainment on hand.
The strongest food options appear to be Smokestack BBQ & Grill and Goodfellas Pizzeria. Smokestack focuses on hearty barbecue plates such as brisket, ribs and grilled seafood in an open-air setting, while Goodfellas offers Neapolitan-style pizzas straight from the wood fire, pitched as an easy choice for sharing. For something more casual, the resort’s café, lounge, pool deck and swim-up bars add flexibility for coffee, light bites and drinks between beach visits or nights out in Patong.
That location remains one of the hotel’s biggest selling points. Marriott says the property sits within easy reach of Bangla Road, local markets and shopping, so diners can move from a poolside lunch to Patong’s nightlife without much planning. For travellers who value convenience as much as variety, the resort’s dining set-up is designed to cover most occasions in one place, from a quick pastry and coffee to a full dinner and late drink.
