With Songkran, Easter and long school holidays on the way, Outrigger resorts in Samui and Phuket are looking forward to welcoming families
PHUKET, 28 March 2011 — The newly opened Outrigger Koh Samui Resort and Spa and the Outrigger Laguna Phuket Resort and Villas in Thailand have lined up activities and facilities to entertain the whole family during the upcoming Songkran, Easter and summer holiday period.
Outrigger Laguna Phuket Resort and Villas is renowned for its spacious villas, private grounds and large communal spaces and is only a 10-minute free transfer from the powder white sands of Layan beach in Phuket. The hotel’s Nannies With Heart program entertains and educates children between the ages of 2 and 12 for up to eight hours a day, so that parents can cut loose and enjoy themselves. In a separate program, themed parties for children are available with fun food, games and extras such as bouncy castles, clowns, trampolines, magicians and balloon artists.
Between 25 June and 31 October Outrigger Laguna Phuket will run a Summer Family Festival. During the festival, children under 12 dine free and kids staying with Outrigger can each enjoy one free entry into the Kids Fun Zone at Canal Village in the adjoining Laguna Phuket integrated resort. In addition, children under 12 go free on speed boat tours to Naka and Kai islands when accompanied by a paying adult and one child aged 9-16 can play a round of golf for free when with a full paying adult. Â Back in the hotel, parents can also request one extra bed with breakfast for one child under 12, for free.
Between 25 June and 31 October the Summer Family Festival at the adjoining Laguna Phuket also offers many additional activities for families with kids.
