How to choose between the two popular hotels in Patong Beach, Phuket (Latest for Spring Festival 2024)

This Spring Festival, I carefully selected and stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott Phuket and the Four Points by Sheraton Phuket for two days each. There wasn't much information online at the time, so I'm making my comparison after the trip to help future tourists. 🌟Highlight Features: The Courtyard by Marriott is located at the southern end of the beach. It's a traditional blue sky and coconut grove resort-style hotel, renovated and newly opened in December 2023. The Four Points by Sheraton is located at the northern end of the beach and was newly built in 2020. The rooms are not large, the Courtyard has a small balcony which is more convenient for drying clothes, while the Four Points has large floor-to-ceiling windows that cannot be opened. 🛏Room Facilities: They are similar, like the Orange Crystal in China, everything is complete. 🖼Restaurant Environment: The breakfast supply is plentiful, very satisfactory, but mainly Western style. The restaurant at Four Points is known as the ceiling of Patong, with two sizes, we ate at the larger one for two days. Four Points has its own freshly squeezed juice and ice cream🍦 served in the morning, which is a plus. 👍Most Recommended: The Courtyard by Marriott has three swimming pools and a very good children's pool, which is great for families with children. There are activities by the pool every day. The pool at Four Points is more for taking photos, especially the infinity pool at the entrance, which is very sunny during the day, but looks great in photos. 💰Average Consumption: The prices are outrageous during the Spring Festival, I think it should be over a thousand yuan on normal days. Both are just a few steps away from the beach, but the area around the Courtyard is more lively. At the same time, there are more foreigners at the Courtyard, mostly older, and it's quiet at breakfast and by the pool. The Four Points has more young foreigners and more Chinese people.
