One of the main factors that influence parents to choose their hotel is the hotel’s facilities so that they’ll be confident enough that their children will be have a good and safe holiday. Phuket E Magazine recommends the top five kids’ clubs in Phuket.
Rosewood Phuket
Rosewood Explorer is a playground paradise for children who love adventure. The concept at Rosewood is for kids to spend more time in nature rather than fiddling around with technology. The play area features a wooden pirate ship, a slide, a fountain and other outdoor activities designed to help children stimulate and increase their imagination and learning abilities. There’s also an area for young ‘farmers’ to plant seeds or little ‘chefs’ to show off their cooking skills. Art classes are available, ranging from drawing, painting and sculpture. There’s also a small loom for kids to learn how weave. Your kids like to dress up? No problem, there are plenty of colourful costumes to choose from. All activities are recorded in a ‘passport book’. The bright décor makes for a cheery and natural atmosphere in this resourceful kids’ club at Rosewood.
