Outrigger Wins Family Friendly Awards in Phuket and Fiji
Phuket, Thailand (PRWEB) July 23, 2014 -- Three Outrigger Resort properties have taken top honours in their respective regions in the Out & About with Kids magazine's 2014 Best of Family Travel Awards. The Outrigger Laguna Phuket Resort and Villas in Thailand has been named Asia's number one family resort. In Fiji, the Outrigger on the Lagoon, Fiji, won the best award in the Pacific Islands region, with Castaway Island, managed by Outrigger, in Fiji's Mamanuca Islands region, taking second place.
The awards were announced on 21 July following thousands of votes from Out & About with Kids magazine readers between October 2013 and April 2014.
Marc Landgraf, the General Manager of Outrigger Laguna Phuket Resort and Villas said, "Spacious villas and suites, a village-like set up throughout the resort, a kids club, nanny service and kids pool next to our sun lounge area and main restaurant make us a favorite among families with kids. Our staff is very proud to have this acknowledged by readers of Out & About with Kids magazine."
Outrigger on the Lagoon, Fiji General Manager, Peter Hopgood said that the award stems from creating a holiday experience in which the whole family can participate.
"Our Meimei nanny service and extensive Kids Club programs combined with purpose-built adult only zones - Vahavu Pool, Bar & Bistro, Bebe Spa Sanctuary and Ivi Restaurant - make the resort a haven for families," he said.
"We offer a daily calendar of cultural, educational, sporting and entertainment activities with a focus on Fijian cultural values. This, in conjunction with the natural charm of our hosts, is what families absolutely love," said Hopgood.
