The perfect family getaway in the heart of Phuket’s liveliest beach
| HUKET’S Patong beach may be best known for its lively nightlife, but there’s still serenity to be found among the hubbub. Just pay a visit to Grand Mercure Phuket Patong. Located within walking distance of the beach and the area’s main bars and restaurants, the resort represents a new generation of retreats in Patong that blend cultural heritage, natural beauty and modern conveniences to stunning – and, most importantly, tranquil – effect. Perfect for young travellers, families or simply friends looking at spending some quality time together, the resort comprises 314 rooms including 252 Superior, 38 Deluxe Pool Access, 10 Suites, and 10 One-bedroom and four Two-bedroom pool villas. |  |
 A grand culinary adventure As you’d expect from any resort worth its salt, Grand Mercure Phuket Patong boasts a good signature restaurant (called Bubbles) and serves food around the clock. Breakfast, a thoroughly lavish affair, features a sumptuous spread of freshly baked breads and pastries, Belgium waffles and other European specialties alongside freshly brewed coffee and healthy juices. Lunch and dinner then sees the introduction of an a la carte menu offering everything from Mediterranean starters and Oriental kebabs, to Asian specialties and more traditional Thai recipes like Pad Thai (Fried noodles), Spicy Tom Yam Goong (Prawns in spicy soup), and Mee Hoon Gaeng Poo (Crab meat in yellow coconut curry) – a Phuket favourite! | Each room is equipped with a 40” LCD TV, a sofa, mini bar, safety box, bathroom with a choice of bathtub or walk in rain shower, coffee and tea making facilities, complimentary Wi-Fi and pool views throughout. Connecting room options are available upon request, as are laundry and babysitting services. The Deluxe Pool Access rooms, Suites and Pool Villas, meanwhile, also include facilities such as private sundeck, Media Hub port “to stay connected,” and express check-in and Grand Club privileges throughout your entire stay. Other facilities at the resort include three lagoon pools, a Kid’s Club and pool, fitness centre (with best-in-its-class cardiovascular and weight training equipment), excursion and tour centre, and the Ryn Spa.    |
Don’t fancy a big feast? Head to the resort’s Chou Chou Deli Shop, which sells Choux-like signature favorites such as the Mango or Green Tea eclairs as well as a superb selection of colourful cakes, tarts, chocolate and macaroons. Parisian-style sandwiches and paninis are also available.
Coming back from a long day at the beach, a stopover at Craft Beer Lounge is a must. Boasting the largest selection of beers on the island, Craft stocks more than 100 labels from over 30 countries (among them: Scandinavia, Japan, America, and Australia). With so many great options on offer, the only problem is knowing where to start.
