Anantara Vacation Club Mai Khao Phuket

Amazing for young family aged 3 and 6. The hotel has a WhatsApp number which allows you to message them with requests on demand - even if you’re at the nearby beach and need a buggy pickup instead of doing the 20 min walk. The beach was nice but full of jellyfish warning signs and tsunami signs but there’s tons to do. Unfortunately in the 24 hours that we were there, we were approached by 3 different Anantara staff trying to sell us Vacation Packages in exchange for complimentary massages but we’d have to attend a seminar, one occasion including near the beach which didn’t stop the hard sell to my husband even though the kids and I walked off. The rest of the facilities were awesome - the indoor wall climbing, the kids pool with 5 slides, the heated outdoor pool for Pool movie night and popcorn, renting family bikes (with child seats on an adult bike and smaller bikes for my son 6.5 years old but there were even 2 smaller than his availability) and going for a 5km easy flat route around the nearby lake, soft archery, table tennis, pickleball, badminton, cookie making, visiting the beach. It’s comfortable but not luxury upmarket. The beach massages are 500thb or 600thb for strong but the hotel options are insane - 7000thb per hour.

Excellent people , and place . My kids and family enjoyed staying here , although this quite far from the city , but in house activities good enough to entertain. And youngster and older

Nice resort Good service Helpful staff Nice for the family with kids
