Honolulu, Hawaii (PRWEB) October 31, 2013 -- Travelers have spoken and Outrigger Hotels and Resorts is proud to announce that three of its properties have earned a spot in Holidays with Kids’ 2013 Top 10 Resort Awards.

“As a family owned and operated company, it’s especially gratifying for Outrigger to be recognized as an elite member of the family-vacation category – both in Hawaii, where it all began, as well as with our Asia-Pacific accommodations in Fiji and Thailand,” said Sean Dee, executive vice president and chief marketing officer at Outrigger Enterprises Group. “This award delivers further inspiration for us to continue providing families from around the globe with outstanding service, top-notch accommodations, and lasting memories.”
Earning the number one spot as Thailand’s “Best Family Resort,” the all-new Outrigger Laguna Phuket Beach Resort offers an exquisite Phuket hotel experience on beautiful Bangtao Bay. Holidays with Kids says the property offers great amenities for mom and dad to enjoy “while the kids are entertained with special programs at Koh Kids. They’ll also love the extensive water park, featuring waterfalls and a waterslide, for watery family fun.
