The Regent Cha-Am Beach Resort

Overview

Let us start by telling you that this hotel has its own mountain-biking track, as well as family-sized guest rooms that come with either bunk beds or boat beds (yes, boat beds). So, it's essentially a kids' paradise. There are also two huge outdoor pools and two shallow kids' pools for the littlest guests, as well as a fantastic Italian restaurant for any fussy eaters... because pizza is always a winner. And while the kids are letting off steam at the mini club, you can head to the unbelievably relaxing spa for an afternoon of R&R, followed by a cocktail by the pool. So, are you ready? Yes, cha am.
