Today, I’m sharing a review of a resort that’s perfect for family travelers: Phuket Splash Beach Resort!
This unique hotel features an on-site water park, making it an ideal choice for families with kids or anyone who loves water-based activities. In this post, I’ll cover everything from the resort’s location and rooms to its facilities, ensuring you have all the details you need.
Who Will Love This Resort?
1. Families who want to enjoy water fun with their kids.
2. Travelers looking for a convenient place with both accommodations and a water park.
3. Guests seeking a wide range of facilities at a reasonable price.
Hotel Location
Phuket Splash Beach Resort is situated in the northwest part of Phuket Island, just a 15-minute drive from Phuket International Airport. Its proximity to the airport ensures a hassle-free start to your vacation.
The resort is near Mai Khao Beach, where you can take tranquil strolls along a quiet shoreline. For dining, I recommend Serenity Restaurant and Mai Khao Seafood nearby. If you’re in the mood for shopping, Turtle Village Shopping Mall is worth visiting.
Room Types
The resort boasts 635 rooms, catering to a variety of preferences and group sizes. From Deluxe Twin and Deluxe King rooms for couples or smaller families to Family Suites and 2-Bedroom Villas for larger groups, there’s something for everyone.
• Deluxe Room: A cozy option for couples or small families.
• Family Suite: Perfect for families with 4 members, featuring two bedrooms and a living area.
• Water Park View Room: Overlooks the water park—great for families with young children.
My Stay: Executive 1-Bedroom Family Suite with Balcony
The suite I stayed in was about 20 square meters, featuring:
• Bedrooms: One master room with a king-size bed and a second room with bunk beds—ideal for kids.
• Living Area: A separate space for relaxing or enjoying snacks, making it very convenient.
• Bathroom: Includes one sink, a toilet, a combined shower, and a bathtub. While functional, I recommend bringing a portable shower filter for better water quality.
•Balcony: The balcony had two chairs and a table, but honestly, it didn’t feel like a must-have feature. If you’re booking, I’d suggest saving money by opting for a non-balcony room unless it’s essential for you.
Main Pool
The resort features a large main pool with separate sections for adults and kids. While the pool is great for an evening dip, I recommend heading to the water park for more exciting water activities.
Water Park Highlights
The on-site water park is a major highlight, offering:
• Water Slides: A variety of slides, from body slides to single/two-person tube slides, and even large group slides.
• Kids’ Zone: Features shallow pools, water guns, fountains, and slides designed for young children.
• Wave Pool: A relaxing lazy river area where you can float and unwind.
Parents can relax in the lounge chairs or grab snacks and drinks from the nearby snack bar while kids enjoy the water park.
Breakfast
The breakfast at Splash Beach Resort is decent but not exceptional.
• Menu: Offers Western, Thai, and kid-friendly options.
• Highlights: Fresh fruits, omelet stations, and bakery items.
• Room for Improvement: The variety could be better, and it tends to get crowded during peak hours.
Private Beach: Mai Khao Beach
The resort’s private beach stretches along the pristine Mai Khao shoreline, known for its natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere.
• Activities: Swimming, snorkeling (on calm days), and sunset watching.
• Scenic Views: The sunset here is breathtaking, painting the sky with shades of pink and purple—a perfect spot for stunning photos.
Additional Facilities
Phuket Splash Beach Resort offers several amenities beyond its water park:
• Fitness Center: Equipped with modern machines.
• Kids’ Playroom: An indoor playground for children who prefer to stay dry.
• Spa: Provides premium massage services for adults.
Room Rates
• Deluxe Room: ~$100 per night
• Family Suite: ~$150 per night
• Water Park View Room: ~$120 per night
