One of the most unusual resorts in the Laguna Phuket complex, Laguna
Beach Resort combines elegance, opulence and common sense.
The romantic nature of the resort comes from the setting and design
. . . lush tropical gardens, ocean-view rooms complete with Thai-style
floor cushions and an atmosphere which allows you to feel relaxed
but well aware that you are in Siam.
An airport limousine collection will swiftly transport you through
the oasis of lakes and lagoons to the Laguna Beach Resort. The resort
is architecturally low-rise, enabling all guests to enjoy an ocean
or garden view. On arrival, a fruit cocktail, pleasant service and
the short walk to your room is immediately endearing. Even wandering
through the lobby is a pleasant exercise in itself, as the decor
consists of fine antiques and Thai furniture.
Each room is decorated in traditional Thai style, with the fabrics
and furnishings drawn from different periods of Thailand's
history. Orchids are everywhere: placed in ornate bowls or as an
attractive accompaniment to the evening's first cocktail.
The reason Laguna Beach Resort is doubly romantic is this . . .
if you are a couple with children, the resort has a variety of options
available for your offspring whilst you can take time out to enjoy
the romance of Phuket.
The four-acre water park, designed to resemble an ancient palace,
is spectacular and children are well catered for . . . the (seasonal)
Kid's Club is on a par with any 5-star resort.
For a romantic repast, try out one of the six restaurants and bars
on offer: Thai, Asian and Continental fare abounds every night.
Director of Food and Beverage, Phillippe Hauser, hails from Switzerland
and is very proud of his culinary expertise. Having worked in Indonesia,
America and most recently Singapore, his experience has stood him
in good stead. Director of Kitchen, Rainer Roersch has also travelled
the world with a view to experiencing all things culinary.Their
efforts have resulted in a dining experience second to few. . .
a meal where in most of their six restaurants you may sample a variety
of small dishes to give a wide range of tastes (or, if you wish,
the full-blown meal of a lifetime).
The general atmosphere of the Laguna Beach Resort is one of calm,
although if you are looking for something a little more active there
is tennis, jogging, aerobics and much more on offer. Also on offer
is windsurfing, Scuba diving, sailing and snorkelling.
The emphasis for Laguna Beach Resort is on people . . . if a quiet
time is your desire, there is no problem at this beach-front paradise.
If you wish to take the children on an exotic tropical holiday there
are people who will enable you to have a great, fun, family time
with that extra bit of privacy. If it's fun and excitement you crave,
look no further.
As the resort is set directly on the beach, there is a wealth of
sea-front dining opportunities on offer. The Grange Grill, although
not an open-air eatery, promises barbecued steak and succulent seafood
with an extra hint of European flair from Rainer.
