Bangkok--15 Sep--Weber Shandwick
The Holiday Inn Resort Phuket Mai Khao Beach has officially opened its doors for business as the newest international hotel brand along the northwest coast of Phuket. The 246-guestroom, new-build property caters to all types of travelers -- from couples on a romantic getaway to families seeking the perfect holiday, or even professionals on a corporate retreat.
“Phuket is a quintessential ‘repeat’ destination for many travelers, both from within Thailand and from the Asia Pacific region,” said Simon Morley, general manager of the resort. “We are excited to open this resort which is, as are all Holiday Inn resorts and hotels, specifically designed to offer great service and value in a relaxed environment.”
The new resort, with its relaxing environment inspired by nature, offers guests a contemporary design and modern facilities. This includes a beachfront infinity pool, a resort leisure centre and a fitness center fitted with the latest equipment. Holiday Inn Resort Phuket Mai Khao Beach also offers a wide range of holistic Thai and western massages and treatments at its signature Tea Tree Spa. Dining choices at the resort span a wide selection of local specialties and international cuisine in its three restaurants and bars. In-room features include crisp beddings with a choice of soft and firm pillows, a large walk-in rain shower, wired/wireless internet, a spacious balcony/terrace, and more.
All these features are in keeping with the $1 billion Holiday Inn relaunch, the biggest rebranding exercise in hospitality history. The new Holiday Inn experience features a contemporary arrival and welcome experience, refreshed guest rooms, power showers and a friendly and approachable service.
“We have gone to great lengths to ensure that the Holiday Inn Resort Phuket Mai Khao Beach hits the sweet spot for a wide range of target customers and we are confident that our efforts will pay off,” said Simon.
Conveniently located, the resort is within 15 minutes drive from Phuket International airport, several major golf courses, and Splash Jungle, the island’s only recreational water park. It is close to popular attractions like Phang Nga Bay, Sirinath National Park and Phuket Town Shopping Centre.
True to the Holiday Inn heritage, the resort has a range of family-friendly facilities and services. Its KidSuites? offers privacy for both parents and children, each with separate sleeping areas. The kids’ section of the suite comes with a bunk bed and a play corner that includes a flat screen TV, a DVD player and a game console. The Family Suite has the same concept as the Kid’s Suite, but with a bigger room that connects to the specially designed room for the kids. For families with teenagers, the resort offers a Teen Zone with game consoles for youngsters to unwind and entertain themselves. There’s also a Kids Club, with an array of entertaining activities where younger kids can have fun under the watch of professional care takers. The brand’s signature Kids Stay and Eat Free feature makes family vacations truly enjoyable and affordable. This programme allows up to two children under 18 years old to stay free when sharing a room with up to two adults. Children under 12 enjoy complimentary breakfast; and free lunch and dinner from the children’s menu when accompanied by an adult who takes at least one main course.
The resort’s 246 rooms each feature the latest in hospitality technology such as LCD flat-screen TV connected to DVD players and I-pod docking stations. The property also offers free wireless Internet in the room and throughout the resort; while i-Pads are available for guests’ use.
“Holiday Inn Resort Phuket Mai Khao Beach is a perfect getaway. Our hotel services and operations are specifically designed with conservation of natural resources in mind. We have an efficient water-recycling system and an intuitive energy-saving system. There are no motorised vehicles in the resort, which helps maintain clean air and quiet surroundings, and provides our guests with a truly relaxing environment,” said Simon Morley.
