Tips To Choosing Kid Friendly Hotels In Phuket, Thailand
Taking the whole family on holidays can be very rewarding, but there are also a number of things to take into account in order to ensure your family holiday is a trouble free success. With many resorts that have taken steps to help all members of the family enjoy themselves, beautiful and exotic Thailand has many things to offer the whole family.
Below are some things to consider when looking for a family friendly hotel in Thailand.
Rooms and suites that are family friendly in every aspect.
Adjoined rooms are a must when traveling with children that are younger, however some hotels take it to the next level with rooms specifically designed to make your time at the hotel more comfortable. The Holiday Inn Phuket Resort offers kid's suites, their "room within a room", providing children with their own private space with fun facilities like, bunk beds, their own TV and video games. Or, you can opt for a family suite with rooms that connect and rooms designed with kids in mind. Your kids will be delighted to find a box of toys in these rooms, as well as video games, video and a TV set. Rooms such as these have a way of significantly reducing the stress on both, parents and their children. Parents can now take comfort in knowing that their children are in the next room and are out of harms way, and can play how they like in their room.
Kid's Clubs
While it seems that just about every hotel and resort has a place to leave the kids, it's a good idea to do a bit of investigating to see not only what kind of activities are available, but which of the activities are included for free and which ones charge extra. Some hotels offer a more extensive and varied schedule, such as the Laguna Beach Resort's rotating two week schedule (ideal for longer stays), while others restrict themselves to repeating similar activities each day.
Things like Playstation or XBox consoles, DVDs, and arts and crafts are pretty much standard in all Kid's Clubs, but families looking for a little more variety might enjoy any of the resorts in the Laguna complex of resorts that offers exciting activities at the Quest Laguna Phuket Adventure facilities.
Using accommodations that meet the needs of younger children and also engage teens makes travel more rewarding.
JW Marriott Resort Hotel, Holiday Inn Phuket and has a separate teenager facilities, including filtering of Internet connected computers, and age appropriate games and activities.
The aforementioned Laguna Beach Resort hotel, for instance, features baby elephants that are sure to be a hit with youngsters and families. At certain times throughout the day children can ride the baby elephants and even frolic with them in the water.
Child minding services
Most Kid's Clubs like the ones mentioned here accept children from 4 years and up. If you would like to have a relaxing time by the pool or have a romantic dinner without your young children, you should be able to do so knowing that your children are being safely watched by someone that is trustworthy. While a lot of hotels and resorts offer babysitting, both in the Kid's Clubs during the day and in your room in the evenings, Evason Phuket & Six Senses Spa goes one further and actually offers overnight "sleepover" services, a closely supervised overnight babysitting service.
