The hype
Families love the space and the slide, but everyone complains about the damp smell in older rooms.
Radisson Resort & Suites Phuket
$150-250/ notte
Prenota se You're a family who needs a separate living room to survive a week with the kids and doesn't mind a high-energy pool scene.
Perché piace così tanto
- Every room is a suite (43sqm+) with separate living areas
- Massive lagoon pool with a water slide that actually keeps kids occupied
- Walking distance to Kamala Beach but far enough to be affordable
In sintesi: A chaotic, kid-centric compound where silence is rare but the suites are huge.
Recensito da @sylvia_day: I stayed in this suite and was so relieved by the extra space. The kids went nuts for the foam party, and having that packed activity schedule meant we actually got to finish our coffee while it was still hot. A solid, stress-free choice for families.

Reality check
You will likely need to request a room change if you get assigned a ground-floor unit with a 'damp' odor.
- You have 2+ kids and need a door between you and them
- You want a resort feel without paying beachfront prices
- You plan to spend most days at the pool slide
Pulizia e manutenzione
7.8
- Housekeeping: Daily service is generally reliable, though deep cleaning under furniture is sometimes missed.
- Bathroom hygiene: Hit or miss. Some reports of black mold in grout and sealant, especially in ground-floor showers.
- Maintenance: Showing its age. Peeling paint and worn carpets in hallways are common complaints.
- Linens & towels: Towels can be a bit scratchy/worn; linens are standard hotel grade but check for stains.
- Odors & scents: The biggest issue. A persistent 'musty' or 'damp' smell plagues specific blocks, likely due to humidity and AC issues.
