Laguna Holiday Club

On the tide of an economic boom, Phuket is awash with private villas and mixed-used developments, and the Laguna Holiday Club belongs to the latter. It is a small property located within the lush Laguna Phuket–launched in 1987 as the first integrated resort in Asia–and features hotel rooms and private apartments.

The main life of the resort is the scenic swimming pool, which gains its pristine views because of its adjacent propinquity to a lagoon and the wide expanse of the Laguna golf course. As an attraction to families with children, the pool comes with a tube slide.

Service is generally brisk and efficient, and the hotel is good for a weekend jaunt, but not much more beyond that.
