Food & Drink

• Chom Talay Restaurant - aka. the main restaurant of the resort, hop over here for a lavish buffet brekkie, and a choice of classic Thai and international dishes for dinner

• Fisherman’s Wharf - where you can sample the catch of the day in this beachfront spot, head back here for a sunset drink whilst being serenaded by a local Jazz band

• La Scala - for traditional Italian cuisine, we know the menu looks amazing but if you're undecided, there's a set menu offering traditional prosciutto crudo, ravioli with lobster and limoncello dessert (yum yum)

• Chanadda Royal - you've flown all this way, it'd be rude not to sample some proper Thai dishes. Take your pick from spring rolls, Tom Yam soup, Thai green curry and traditional Pad Thai

• Seaside Restaurant - a cool, casual beachfront spot offering wood-fired pizza, a'la minute pasta for when you're extra hungry and can't wait, sandwiches, salads, and Thai fried noodles

• Seacret Restaurant - a second laid-back beachfront spot for tasty lunches and dinners with a view. The menu is made up of traditional Thai, fresh seafood, yummy sandwiches and picky bits, as for drinks, you've got classic and signature cocktails, spirits and soft drinks

• Six Bars - it's all about the colourful cocktails and refreshing tipples that can be found at the six bars dotted around the resort – happy hour is from 17:30-19:00 at select venues

• Prefer a bit of privacy? Room service and romantic meals at the beach are available too.

Sports & Entertainment

• Six Swimming Pools - and that's not even including the four kiddy pools, three Jacuzzis and a mini waterslide, so there are more than enough places to splash, dip, swim and chill out

• Chang Noi Kids’ Club (ages 4-12) - offering a colourful playroom, outdoor play area and soft-play area. Now that should tire them out!

• Tew Son Spa - which is a must! You can't come all this way and not get a proper Thai massage. They're not done in your regular treatment room either, you'll have a massage in the hotel garden surrounded by tropical greenery. Once you're done how about a trip to the beauty salon, or a chill in the sauna?

• Fitness Center - the complete opposite vibes to the spa, but if you fancy a holiday workout, this place is air-conditioned to the max and offers all the equipment you could need

• Excursion Desk - because there's literally so much to see in Phuket, deck out your itinerary with a trip to the Phi Phi Islands, live your best James Bond life on a speedboat to see where the James Bond 007 film was made, or get up close with the Thai national animal, the elephant at an ethical sanctuary (do your research kids!)

• Shopping - the onsite Melon Shop offers your classic souvenirs and fine jewellery to take home with you, on selected nights the resort offers a private Night Market. There's also a minimarket for snacks, drinks and any holiday essentials

• Just steps away from the resort is Kata Noi Beach, a straight-out-of-the-holiday-brochure beach with clear water and fine, golden sand
