This is the smart-value family pick right in Patong, a short walk from the sand and the shops but set just far enough back from the nightlife. The draw is a proper set of children's facilities: a complimentary kids club, a kids pool with waterslides, a toddler pool and a splash zone, plus themed Kids Suites that children adore. Kids stay and eat free on many rates, which makes it one of the better-value family bases on the island. Patong itself is loud and busy, but that means everything is close and the resort works as a launchpad for day trips.
Our verdict
The smart-value family base in central Patong, with themed Kids Suites, a slide pool and kids-stay-and-eat-free rates a short walk from the beach.
The rooms
The clever Kids Suites are the reason families book here: a partitioned kids zone with themed bunk beds, soft toys and their own TV, in a Pirate or Sea World design, next to the parents' room. Standard Family Rooms take two adults and two children under twelve, and cots are available on request. Kids stay and eat free on the right rate, which softens the bill for a week by the beach.

Parents also ask
Do kids really stay and eat free?
On many rates children stay free in a Kids Suite or family room and eat free from the kids menu, though it depends on the rate booked, so confirm the terms.
What is a Kids Suite?
It is a partitioned children's area next to the parents' room, with themed bunk beds, soft toys and its own TV in a Pirate or Sea World design.
Is Patong too much with young kids?
Patong is loud and busy with a full-on nightlife, but the resort sits back from the strip, so you get convenience by day and can keep the little ones away from the noise at night.
