MaMa planned for this holiday months ago, and Chloe & Clarisse were looking forwards for the holiday. I love to have a hassle-free holiday with my children and of course a short flight to getaway from the town, that's why I chose Club Med Phuket, which is 1-1/2 hr away by flight.
Here are some of the photos taken using my smartphone. I shall update some other photos from my camera when I am free later. Anyhow, there weren't much photos taken, you know, with children and a hubby who is not fond of "gadget", we don't expect much photo memory. :P Hahaha...take the chance to complain again.
These are some photo taken at the Kata Beach.
Even though it was the girls and my first trip to Phuket, we didn't explore Phuket for any sightseeings, not even the TOWN. We decided to spend our holiday within Club Med for the 4 days 3 nights, which I am glad we did.
I must say Club Med Phuket is a very child-friendly resort with adequate children facilities to keep them entertained. The best part is Babysitting service is available too *of course for a fee*.
Club Med also organizes many different activities daily cater for the children. Chloe loves to the Mini Club, the designated area just for children age 6 months to 12 years old. Program such as Giant Waterslide, Pool Splashing, Picasso Session, Tie-Dye T-Shirt, Cooking etc. I would love to go back there again when the girls are older so that they can enjoy all these programs INDEPENDENTLY.
I am not sure about PaPa, but I am sure the girls and myself enjoyed our holiday there EXCEPT a few things..... Chloe had food poisoning on her last dinner. I suspect it was due to the watermelon. I was horrified when Chloe vomited 5 times in a night. Poor girl, in the end, PaPa sent her to the resort's infirmary where they sent in doctor from the town to treat Chloe. Medicine was prescribed to stop the vomiting. Luckily that her vomiting stopped after one dosage of the prescription. She looked fine and sunshine the next morning. *phew*.
PaPa made a number of complains to the GM, and the only thing we received was APOLOGY. Hahaha... PaPa was too lenient, he didn't scream at the GM. If I were the one, I am sure I would be the emotional ferocious tigress roaring upon the GM's face. Come on! We paid exclusive price for the food and facilities, and they should be very careful with the food that they served to clients and upkeep the facilities to ensure a memorable holidays for us.
By the way, the GOs there are nice and friendly, definitely not the local staffs such as the room services staffs, cleaners, waitresses. They all look angry MOST of the times, I hardly see them smiling. Only on rare occasion, when the adorable Clarisse threw tantrum which seemingly cute to them, and I could see their little smile on their face. Otherwise, don't hope for it. But I didn't let these people ruin my holiday, I chose to ignore them. :P
EXCEPT for the minor food poisoning incident, the food served was actually up to fine cuisine standard. I would say yummylicious is up to 88%. Chloe and Clarisse's good appetite is a good judge, especially their spaghetti, they were cooked to the perfect texture. I had the best Steak Burger in Club Med, the steak was insanely juicy. SLURP! Papa was not able to resist the scrumptious roast lamb, and he had two big portions of it which resulted indigestion for the next two days. Due to the indigestion, he was having his "PMS" yelling at Clarisse and MaMa for trivial matters. Geezz...
The girls had fun at the Mini Club, the Beach, the Pool. The girls love to stay in the pool. MaMa was rather easy on the F&B choice for the girls, therefore the girls get to enjoy all the COLD drinks, Chocolates, Ice-creams, Desserts. Hahaha... It was a restriction-free holiday for them, just a little nags from PaPa here and there once in a while. The girls were also lucky to catch a circus show on the first day of our arrival, and they stayed up for the night shows every day until 11pm.
Overall, it was a great family trip with minor hiccups. Most importantly, I am happy to see how my girls enjoyed themselves during their stay in the Club Med, and this is all I ask for.
