Anyone who has been on a family holiday before knows that there are mixed emotions because family can be incredibly fun to travel with but they can also be somewhat annoying as well. If you have kids, then it can drive your stress levels through the roof if they don’t have something to occupy their time always. This is why you need to be smart when it comes to choosing the destination and the accommodation choice for your family this year because you don’t want to be arguing with family members at a time when you should all be relaxing.
The good news is that there are a number of family hotels in Phuket in Thailand and these places are well-equipped to take care of you and your family members. They are what are known as family-friendly hotels and they are particularly kid-friendly as well. If you have never stayed in such an establishment before then the following are just some of the reasons why it might be an excellent idea to book into one of them this year and every year.
1- Lots of different activities –
Everyone has different needs when they go on holiday and for the kids, it’s more about enjoying physical activities so you definitely need to book a family hotel that has a swimming pool. If your hotel is near the beach then there are many different water activities to try like jet skiing, snorkelling and swimming. For the adults, there is always the option of enjoying fine food and beverages in the hotel restaurant and so there is always something for everyone.
2- Babysitting services –
This is a real selling point for many parents because although they love the kids and they love spending time with them during the day when evening comes, it’s important that both mum and dad get to spend quality time together. This is why these family hotels offer you babysitting services so that the kids can be professionally looked after while you both enjoy time to bond again.
3- Every kind of amenity –
There will of course be Internet available to you and the kids all around the hotel itself and in the grounds surrounding it. There will be 24-hour room service and the restaurant menu will cater to both kids and adults alike. There will be satellite television so that the kids can enjoy their favourite TV shows from home and there will be complimentary beverages and snacks available. There will of course be spa facilities for mom and dad so that they can really pamper themselves and learn to relax.
There may also be an all-inclusive option where you pay one price for the whole family and that includes the meals throughout the day including breakfast, lunch and evening tea. There will be many different activities available to you outside the hotel but many families prefer to stay in one place because everything is provided for them and they are very comfortable.
