Top 3 cheap hotels for families in Phuket, Thailand

Pearl Hotel Phuket impressed me with its room decor in a pearl theme, and the building itself looks very modern. At first glance, the territory seems small, but in reality, it accommodates all the necessary amenities for a vacation. The hotel is located in the city center with free parking and a 24-hour front desk.

I am already looking forward to how we will be welcomed at any time of the day to help us have a fabulous vacation in this place!

The hotel has two pools: an adult one and a children's one. The latter has a shallow bottom, so parents won't have to worry about their little children who don't swim very well. For adults, there are massage services and a rooftop bar (but non-alcoholic drinks and delicious juices are also available at this bar). The main thing is that Pearl Hotel Phuket, as I mentioned, is located right in the city. Therefore, when renting a car (or even on foot), you can visit interesting places that children will enjoy. For example, the Shell Museum and the Kathu Mining Museum are within 14 km. The Phuket Aquarium is even a bit closer - just 11 km from the hotel. I’m sure these places will be fun and interesting for the whole family!

The hotel is located practically in the center of Old Town Phuket. You can always step out and enjoy the surroundings. The magnificent beaches of Patong, Kata, Karon, and Nai Yang are just a 30-minute drive away. It takes a couple of minutes to walk to Robinson department store. You can reach Central Festival shopping center in 15 minutes. The trip to Phuket International Airport takes 45 minutes. It's great that the hotel offers transfer service.

A baby cot in the room is available for free, you just need to ask the staff to set it up. The rooms have excellent sound insulation, which is important when traveling with children. The windows offer a wonderful view of the beautiful city. It’s convenient that there will be a bathroom with a bidet, free toiletries, and towels. The hotel pays great attention to cleanliness, and towels will be changed every day. It’s nice to be able to make tea or coffee in the room – the necessary appliances are available here. In the evening, children won't get bored, as you can always turn on the flat-screen TV with cable channels.

The main restaurant is open throughout the day. For breakfast, lunch, and dinner, local, Thai, and international cuisine is prepared. There is a Chinese restaurant on the rooftop of the hotel where you can dine and enjoy the view of the city. Various cocktails and snacks are offered in the Pearl cocktail lounge on the resort's premises. Of course, there is a buffet for children and a special menu. For this, we are especially grateful; we won't have to rack our brains over what to feed our picky eaters!

The hotel complex CA Residence is also located right in the city of Phuket. The building itself is small but incredibly bright and sunny due to the large number of windows and light shades in the interior spaces. A fitness center and a spa with an outdoor bathing area and special clothing lockers are available for guests. Reviews especially highlight the daily cleaning and the availability of laundry and dry cleaning services.

In terms of family entertainment, the hotel offers a wide variety. For example, adult and children's pools. The latter features a gradual depth increase and water toys. Adults will have the opportunity to relax on comfortable loungers nearby. There is also an animation staff on site, so we will have entertainment and activities throughout the day. The rooms are equipped with safety barriers for children, and there is a playground outside. I already like everything.

As I already mentioned, the hotel is located in the city of Phuket, which means we will have the opportunity to visit many places. For example, the Central Festival shopping mall and the Royal Yacht Marina Rassada are located 6 km away. The trip from the bus station will take only 3 minutes, and it takes half an hour to get to the airport. Unfortunately, I could not find information about the availability of transfer at the hotel, but since it is practically in the city center, it can be very quickly reached by local taxi or public transport.

CA Residence offers family rooms with a free crib upon request. We will have a balcony with a pleasant view of the city and the hotel pool. If the room is on the lower floors, it comes with a patio - a private courtyard with garden furniture and complete seclusion from other families. Great!

The room has a refrigerator, kettle, and coffee maker - always necessary when traveling with children. The bathroom is already stocked with free shower amenities, towels, a hairdryer, and a clothes dryer. In the bedroom, there is a television with satellite channels, and food and drinks can be ordered via the telephone.

There is a restaurant on the premises offering excellent breakfasts and a buffet for children with a separate menu. Guests are offered fruits and a diet menu upon request throughout the day. Since the hotel is located in the city, there will be an opportunity to visit local cafes and restaurants with different cuisines! It would be great to try something local.

Seabed Grand Hotel Phuket (SHA Plus+) looks luxurious, creating the impression that staying here will be expensive, but it's not. It is among the budget options, yet offers a wide range of entertainment and excellent service. Just what we need! There is a fitness center, a shared lounge, and free parking. Massage and some beauty treatments are also available. The 24-hour front desk will quickly check us in so we can get to our room and start our vacation as soon as possible.

The hotel has an adult and a children's pool. Near the first one, there is a bar with refreshing drinks, and there are sun loungers with beach chairs (by the way, this pool has no age restrictions).

A big plus of this place is that it is located within the city limits of Phuket - 11 km to the aquarium, and 13 km to the Shell Museum. For children, this is an educational yet exciting vacation!

There are plenty of local restaurants and parks near the hotel. The city bus station is five kilometers away, and the international airport is 32 km away. It is good that they offer a transfer service. Also, 11 km from this location, there is the Kathu waterfall - I think it will be interesting for both adults and children to see such a natural wonder in Thailand.

Family rooms are well equipped. They provide a baby bed for free if needed. I liked that there is a balcony with outdoor furniture and a beautiful view of the city and mountains. We will even have a living area. For me, this is a big plus, as the whole family can feel comfortable on vacation, and everyone will find a place to sit. The flat-screen TV is connected to cable TV, so we can always watch a movie or cartoon with the kids. In the bathroom, there are standard towels and toiletries. Thanks to the kettle, you can always prepare a hot drink in the morning. By the way, adjacent rooms are also available, which is very convenient for large families.

On the grounds of Seabed Grand Hotel Phuket, there is its own Sea Restaurant, which serves Thai, American, and international dishes. Breakfast can be included in the accommodation cost in advance. For the little guests, there is a children's menu, so the food at the hotel will please the whole family. Fruits and wine with champagne are offered for an additional fee. That's suitable for us!
