Restaurant
Bill Bentley Pub at Turtle Village offers a cozy Irish pub atmosphere with comfortable seating and live music. While the service is excellent, the food receives mixed reviews, with some dishes like chicken quesadillas being decent while others such as guacamole and burritos are criticized for their taste. The pub also functions as a sports bar, featuring pool tables and dart games for entertainment. Conveniently located within walking distance from hotels in Mai Khao, it provides an alternative to Thai cuisine in the area.
Fajitas was great. With kids, we started our dinner early, so we could enjoy happy hour, that was till 18:00. French flies (Chips) were big loads, so suitable to share 4 people. We loved the tartar sauce coming for fried calamari. Definitely will revisit if we come back to Phuket!

Food is a hit or miss, had a raw steak instead of medium-rare, didn't send it back but they also did not charge it. Dined in twice, the menu has many options, Mexican, European, local. The atmosphere inside is very nice. Prices a bit high, probably because of the nearby hotels.

We recently had a truly fantastic dining experience at Bill Bentley Mai Khao! The Mexican food was absolutely outstanding—some of the best we've ever had. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. In addition to the amazing food, the service from your team was excellent and made our evening so enjoyable. A special thank you goes to K. Tina, K. Tai, K. Fon, and K. Tang for their warm hospitality, attention to detail, and making us feel so welcome. We can't wait to visit again soon!

Had the quesadillas, cheese burger and pork rack of ribs. Had 3 kids meals too as kids eat free. Note - the kids burger is pretty tiny but the bolognaise is a sizable portion. Kids quesadillas have only cheese inside. They have some board games and a type of "curling game" which is pretty fun. Do drop by when you're tired of Thai food and desire a dash of Western fare.

Kids ate for free but the mains we ordered doesn’t come cheap. The phad Thai was a great disappointment, beef quesadillas were okay, beef a little tough, for the vegan bowl, portion is for 2-3, way too much for 1. Kids mean chicken rice is actually Asian’s fried rice

I never thought there would be a restaurant like this in Anantara Hotel. The restaurant is very beautiful, the food is delicious, there are many drinks to choose from, the staff are smiling and provide excellent service, and Khun Fon takes very good care of me. Next time, I will invite my friends to come and enjoy it again.

Tonight was filled with laughter, smiles, and unforgettable moments of friendship. Celebrating my bachelor party with friends at Bill Bentley Pub, Turtle Village Phuket was truly special. The warm atmosphere, live music, and beautifully crafted cocktails made the evening vibrant and memorable. Sharing this joyful time with my closest friends in such a welcoming place created memories I will always treasure.

Italian restaurant
Restaurant
Cucina at JW Marriott Phuket offers a taste of Italy with its classic Italian dishes such as lasagna, pizza, starters, fish and meat dishes, and desserts. The restaurant showcases authentic Italian cuisine including wood oven pizza, pasta, grilled seafood, lamb, premium beefs, cocktails & wine. Guests can enjoy attentive service in a comfortable dining setting suitable for couples, families and friends. Some recommended dishes include the Lobster soup and Signature Seafood Tagliatelle.
During our recent Phuket stay we dined here twice! The food is really delicious and the service provided by the staff was exceptional. Shoutout to Dew, Olive and Top. They made sure we had the best dining experience. I’ve rated each dish under the caption of the pictures. Overall I highly recommend the appetizers! If you’re interested in their burrata dishes, do ask early if they have it. It seems like their shipment usually comes in the evening so sometimes there aren’t anymore available for lunch the next day. You can ask the staff to reserve it for you ahead.

The wait was slightly longer for the main course. For the appetiser I had the beef carpaccio, which was delicious. I also tried the salad, where the balsamic vinegar dressing was delicious. The bread there was very nice. For the main I had the gnocchi lamb ragout which was quite delicious. The raspberry gelato was the star of the meal, being perfectly balanced in acidity and freshness. Overall very delicious with the best service I’ve experienced, but was slightly expensive

Was really excited to try this after eating so much thai food. But only a few of the things we got were worth while and several were actually really bad. The lobster crab soup should be an easy homerun, but was fishy and had hardly any meat. We really appreciated the gluten free options and liked both the gluten free pizza wnd bruschetta that we got. But we had really bad lasagna, really bad carbonara, and one pizza that was not good at all.

It's pizza was good. Not tried it this time round. Pasta are good too. Seafood are very fresh and grilled well. Mushroom soup, meatball and porcini Mushroom risotto were out of this world!!! Must try!

We ordered the Mamma Mia Sharing Set for two, and it was a feast! The Antipasti platter was generous, with ample Italian cold cuts, Bruschetta, and Calamari. The main course offerings - Surf & Turf, Gnocchi, and Salami Pizza - were flavorful and satisfying, despite not being huge portions. And the dessert platter, featuring Tiramisu, Bread Pudding, and Chocolate Mousse, was the perfect sweet finale.

I had a delightful experience at Cucina. The all-around food was fantastic, with one small exception: the Carbonara had a bit too much pepper for my taste, but it was still quite enjoyable. The standout element of my visit was the impeccable service provided by Golf and Pang. They were genuinely attentive and lovely throughout the meal, making it an unforgettable dining experience. I'll definitely be returning!

Delicious food, especially soup with coconut milk and great service. There are have halal options and all meat (such as chicken and beef) have halal certification. It was be too important for us.

Wasn’t a massive fan of Thai food but I wanted to try some and I’m so glad I did. We tried a bunch of stuff and it was all really good. They were great at adjusting spice levels for us , and basically it’s opened me up to Thai food as a whole , I’ll try eat more now I know how delicious it can be. Staff were all helpful , spent the equivalent of a bit over £100 for four adults and two kids (but no alcohol). Would definitely come here again and recommend to others.

I dined here solo on Aug 25, 2025, and made my reservation online. Service was provided by Mama, Jelly, Amy, Ole, and Bao—all of whom were warm, attentive, and made excellent recommendations. The food was outstanding: flavorful Thai dishes with plenty of variety. I ordered the appetizer sampler, which offered small portions of several starters—a great way to try different things. I also had the Andaman cocktail, which was phenomenal: tasty, unique, and definitely a must-try. Service was quick, friendly, and thoughtful. At the end of the meal, the staff surprised me with a birthday dessert and congratulations—even though my birthday had been a few days earlier and I hadn’t mentioned it in my reservation. It must have been passed along by the hotel, and it was such a kind touch. Dessert was mango sticky rice, and it was absolutely delicious. Overall, I was very happy with my experience here and would highly recommend it. The only downside is that even indoors, mosquitoes were an issue—so bug spray is a good idea.

Discovered TAKIENG at Renaissance Phuket Resort—great ambiance and delicious food.🥘 the fish was really tender and I ordered medium spicy so the spice is perfect for me, we ordered little spicy for the salad, but is still pretty spicy so if you cannot eat any spicy food, you should tell them you don’t want spicy at all. And the passionfruit smoothie is so delicious.

If you're looking for a beachfront dining experience that combines bold Thai flavors with elegance and stunning atmosphere, Takieng is a must-visit in Phuket. This upscale Thai restaurant serves authentic southern Thai cuisine with fresh, high-quality ingredients The ambiance is romantic and serene, especially during sunset Service is excellent, with attentive staff who make sure every detail is taken care of.

Exceptional Thai cuisine at Takieng — A perfect start to our Phuket trip Takieng is easily one of the best authentic Thai restaurants we’ve experienced in a resort setting. Even on our drive to the hotel, we noticed their billboard advertising the “most authentic Thai restaurant ,” which immediately caught our attention. After trying it ourselves, we can confidently say — they live up to that claim. The restaurant enjoys a premium location with beautiful ambience, and the staff are warm, friendly, and trained to a high resort standard. Service was consistently attentive and professional. We chose Takieng as our very first meal upon arriving in Phuket. Fresh off the plane and after checking into the resort, we didn’t have time for research, so we asked the locals for a recommendation. With a place like this, you simply can’t go wrong. It may not be the most “budget-friendly” option, but restaurants of this calibre hold themselves to a standard — they won’t allow subpar dishes or service. And truly, it was worth every baht. The food was exceptionally well balanced, delivering exactly what we expect from high-quality Thai cuisine prepared by chefs with mastery and precise control. Authentic flavours, refined execution — nothing overdone, nothing missing. My wife loved the food so much that she ordered room service from Takieng again the next day, since we couldn’t try everything on the first night due to limited stomach capacity! Overall, Takieng delivered a wonderful dining experience from food to service. If you’re staying in the resort or even passing nearby, this is a must-try for authentic Thai flavours done right. Highly recommended.

Location is a bit way off from anywhere but if you're anywhere near the airport, it's absolutely worth the short drive for dinner here. Delicious food, very warm hospitality, especially from Mama and her colleagues Jelly, Pond, Pang and Ole. Manager Num was very accommodating. Would definitely come back.

Great Thai restaurant in the JW Marriott Mai Khao. We’ve been looking for high quality local cuisine in a nice setting, which wasn’t easy to find. We were so happy to finally hit the mark. They were even nice enough to serve a dish that weren’t on the menu. Highly recommended and we will be back! 👍

Absolutely incredible Thai food! Ate here a couple times on our trip and all of the dishes were excellent. Two good kids menu too, a Thai and western one. The service from Rainbow was welcoming and professional. Would recommend!
Oliver B — Google review
We have been here a week and been to Ganja twice. It has been hands down the best Thai food we’ve had in Phuket. The service is spectacular. Our server both times was Rainbow and she is absolutely the best server. So charming. Our family is obsessed with her. Over the top service. Little extras here and there. Great ideas and suggestions. And the food will blow your mind. Tom Ka, massaman curry, pad thai, yellow curry, and several other thai favorites. The mango sticky rice is epic and made even better when you add coconut ice cream. Before dessert, Rainbow brought us this blue tapioca in coconut milk. I don’t know if it was even on the menu, but it should be. Such a special little treat.

decent food, good service, but nothing amazing. we ordered the som tam, morning glory, crispy pork and kaeng som which was a little on the diluted side. the dishes took a while to arrive and they all came together at one go. ideally we should have gotten the som tam first considering that's an appetiser. had the mango sticky rice which probably had the saddest portion of mango i've ever seen for this dessert but the mangoes were at least still nice and sweet. that being said, we really enjoyed the crispy pork! while it was exactly the best thai food, we wouldn't mind coming back to try other dishes as maybe we just didn't order the right ones. we came in the later evening around 8pm and there were quite a lot of mosquitoes around but you can request for mosquito repellant from the staff. we were served by Pam who was very warm, smiley and hospitable.

Siam Deli, located at Marriott Mai Khao Phuket, offers a variety of food options including burgers. Guests can enjoy good quality food and beverages such as coffee and soft drinks. Additionally, they have the option to order items from a Japanese restaurant and Italian Cucina restaurant which serves oven pizzas. However, there have been complaints about the attempt to segregate outside guests dining at the deli.
Requested to make Paneer biriyani replacing Chicken as a vegetarian option. Chef Atul prepared it so well. Paneer tikka curry was so yummy with spices made from scratch! Pani puri and papdi chat were tasty as well! For the dessert he made a custom order moong dhall halwa which was so delicious

Excellent service and food, we tried three breakfast dishes and were excellent choices, thanks Snow for your outstanding services and help. Note: Previous review was during Y2023, This year 2025, I tried two lunch dishes, the wagyu burger and fried fish however both were below my expectations because the wagyu burger was dry and the fish was very oily and not fresh.

We absolutely loved the food. We ate there several times during our stay, and everything we ordered was great. I tried the hot dog, it was quite tasty ! Their Wagyu burger was uniquely delicious so I recommend it highly ! Their mango sticky rice was also a hit, though if you want black sticky rice, make sure to order it a day ahead since it needs to soak overnight. The only downside was the lack of a hand wash station in the restaurant, which would’ve been handy given the sandwiches and burgers on the menu. But other than that, everything else was spot on!

A great place to be with family if you are staying at JW or Marriott Phuket Beach resort or Marriott Mai khao beach resort. Friendly staff, eager to help. Food wise plenty to savor from the menu. Thai dishes are well curated and their bakery is to die for specially the Sugar Donut, Cream Cheese crossiant :) Watch out for when you give instructions for your special request such as some customised dishes for babies, more spicy, less spicy etc. make sure they have noted it and not missed. We asked for a soup noodles for baby, and specifically asked for different veggies, yet they ended up with only carrot. They charged different value for same dish on different days e.g kods soup noodles charged free on Day 1, THB160 on day 2, THB250 on day 3 and so on. So be mindful to check your bills and discount if any applicable to your Bonvoy membership. Overal good place if you are swimming and want to grab something quick at the JW Marriott

The Phuket booster smoothie was very nice, with a nice touch of ginger to it. The double cheeseburger was also nice, but the fries were underseasoned and could have used some help. The service was average and lower than my expectations, as this restaurant is in a Marriott hotel. Overall, a pleasant bite for lunch and viable as a light snack, but not enough formal for dinner.
