With 178 fully equipped rooms including the Deluxe Rainforest Room which can sleep two adults and two children, the hotel also has four restaurants, a fitness centre, water sports galore and lots of opportunities to get closer to nature through guided walks and tours. Hang poolside with your brood and let the kids go nuts for the water slide – endless hours of fun – or alternatively, enjoy the privacy of your own pool in your villa. Parents can also enjoy some well-earned down-time while kids are kept busy with the hotel’s Young Explorers Club, which takes advantage of the resort’s 10 million-year-old rainforest setting and encourages participation in fun activities both indoors and out. Led by the resort’s resident naturalist and friendly ambassadors, children can join in a whole bunch of nature discovery activities including bird-watching, butterfly walks, hermit crab-hunting and beach walks. Young explorers are invited to participate in the transplanting and growing of coral at the resort’s very own unique Coral Nursery and Marine Lab, while various arts and crafts, including batik painting, origami, friendship bracelet making and coral crafts, nurture children’s creative sides. To top off your stay, abundant wildlife roam freely throughout the resort, which never fails to delight and amaze both parents and children alike. www.theandaman.com 54 www.playtimes.com.hk
