When did the Kamala Beach property open? Does it even exist? Their website doesn't appear to think so: https://www.movenpick.com/en/

 

I prefer to rent a beach house in so I can control the environment, as opposed to a hotel with a tiny room and potential carriers milling around.

Swissotel? I think the OP would have some problems in trying to book a room there.

It is usually 1500-2000 baht nightly during low season and during covid on Agoda.

NO, unless u want them crossing a busy road. IF its open

 

Sunwing resort, directly on beach in Kamala but u might need up ur budget depending on when ur travelling
you would have the pools to urself most days  ????
walking distance to food, shopping, bars

 

There are also 5-6 smaller hotels ( some wiht pools but no slides ) directly on beach few hundered meters down from Sunwing ....which is currently also offering, for 250 baht, full day use of pools and that applies to food credit!!

there is no white sandy beaches in Phuket

I stayed at the Novotel Vintage Park Resort some time ago with the family, nice, big clean hotel, good breakfast, huge pool, no slides that I can remember, but within walking distance of beach and main shopping centres.

 

Plenty of 5 star hotels also offering great deals, just a matter of searching for them on say their Facebook pages, like the Hilton were I stayed for around 2,350 baht per night for a room catering for 4 with ocean views, big pool, water slide, but not in Phuket, but am sure you can get the same there and other hotels would be offering the same, just don't know about the slides.

 

If your into a budget of the lower end, would suggest iBis, a family room sleeps 4, good sixe room, kids get double bunks, good hotel, good breakfast, but no water slides, kids pool and adult pool. 

Are there any family-unfriendly beach areas?

One of them Centara hotels has a water park i think maybe you have to up your budget 

Centara has a water park but it is in Karon which is 90% shut.  A much better bet is the former Outrigger/Movenpick, now rebranded as Saii Laguna, inside Laguna area. Great hotel with water slide and excellent pool, directly on the beach and with a range of beach bars and restaurants adjacent.  Should be offering rooms in your price range at this time.  There are free bus and lagoon boat shuttles to all the other Laguna Hotels, and it is near Boat Avenue, Porto De Phuket (both with many restaurants, bars (all ranges) and supermarkets, and Blue Tree Water Park, all in adjacent Cherngtalay, which is fantastic for kids. The Laguna/Cherngtalay area is still mostly open and quite vibrant still.

didn't realize their room s were that inexpensive.. but price steeply climbs when you add in kids and breakfast at 900 baht each!!

 

agree, lots  open in Chern talay and laguana

 

Note Blue water is about 5 kms towards the monument..

The Splash Resort might be worth a look for a couple of days as it includes entry to the Splash Jungle Water Park. Very cheap on Agoda right now. Thinking of booking a night or two for my family.

It's closed Monday to Thursday, open Friday to Sunday.

I'd contact Sunwing Kamala or Impiana Hotel in Patong direct for a rate, don't bother with booking agents.

 

Impiana was doing a suite for 1.5k a night when a friend stayed there last month- 5  rooms were taken up in the whole complex. Sunwing had 3 (!) ccupants the other day when I was talking to a member of staff as I passed along the beach.

 

Sunwing is the better choice IMHO as there's a bit more life to Kamala than Patong at the moment. Both places are on the beach (well, not ON the beach but right next to it ????).

Odd. The Splash Jungle website states something different! https://splashjungle.com/ I drove past it last Sunday and I thought it was open as there were cars in the car park.
