PHUKET – Courtyard by Marriott resorts in Phuket continue to offer the best deals on premium accommodation and hospitality services – by launching two months of bonus-packed, specially priced Suite Promotions at its trio of properties on the island.

Running for two months from September 1 until October 31, 2010, these added-value packages offer special accommodation prices enhanced by supplementary premium bonuses – including spa vouchers and food and beverage coupons. The Suite Promotion applies to Suites, Pool-Terrace Suites, and other premium room types at Courtyard by Marriott's three Phuket resorts, in Patong, Surin and Kamala.

For increased convenience, the privileged rates are applicable on a flexible, per-night basis for the duration of the promotion. This removes any obligation for guests to stay for consecutive nights, meaning they are completely free to take advantage of the Suite Promotion during single-night stays.

Effectively top-flight hospitality upgrades, these exclusive promotions adhere to Courtyard by Marriott's "Suite Life" concept – which aims to offer more prestigious benefits than standard hotel-room promotions.

Based on two people sharing accommodation, the rates and bonuses offered over the duration of the Suite Promotion, at each respective property, are as follows:
