London – August 23, 2017- Families looking for a stress free half term holiday in the sun, can look no further than Renaissance Pattaya Resort & Spa. Offering average temperatures of 27 degrees, exceptional value for money and a packed programme of fun activities for kids of all ages, families can escape to Thailand's warmer climate for a luxury getaway this October and leave Europe far behind.

Just 90 minutes from Bangkok's international airport, Thailand's beach capital offers the perfect solution to those who are searching for a combination of city and beach. Beautiful beaches and an array of kids activities and cultural attractions make Pattaya a top choice for families. From the first ever Cartoon Network Water Park to cultural highlights like the Sanctuary of Truth, striking the right balance between learning and fun will be easy for parents to achieve this holiday.

Ensuring everyone who arrives at Renaissance Pattaya feels extra special, and gets the full red carpet treatment, the team has put together a number of special touches, exclusively for its younger guests. On arrival, junior guests will enjoy a customised check-in, and receive a welcome pack with pens and colouring books. They will also discover a host of treats in their guest room, including their own welcome gift.

Sure to keep children of all ages entertained and out of mischief, the kids club offers a range of activities, including a weekly Treasure Hunt and, for Pokémon Go lovers, Renaissance Pattaya will bring the virtual game to life with a real and tangible version. Kids (and adventurous parents) can catch Pokémon in the grounds of the resort and win toys to take home. The 56-metre swimming pool will be popular with both adults and children, and swimming aids will be available for children of different ages, as well as water fountains and water guns for those wanting to make a splash! For boys and girls who like to relax and pamper, the resort's spa has its own kid's menu, featuring mini massages, mini facials and Princess Manicures.

At the end of the day, parents can avoid the mealtime battle at one of Renaissance Pattaya's two restaurants, Pebbles Bar & Grill and 609 Kitchen, which both offer healthy and exciting menus for children, ensuring even the fussiest eaters do not go hungry. In-suite dining options are also available and high chairs are provided for younger children.

Offering a variety of family friendly accommodation, the resort offers nine spacious family suites, which can accommodate a family of up to two adults and two children. These suites feature an extra sleeping area for little ones, complete with bunk beds. Baby cots are also available on request and parents can enjoy privacy with a door between them and their children. One less thing to think about, the resort also offers baby bathtubs to make the evening routine a little easier.

The Half Term Getaway package at Renaissance Pattaya costs £820 / 35,000 THB and includes 5-nights accommodation in a family suite for two adults and two children, return transfers from Suvarnabhumi International Airport, welcome gifts for the kids, kid's club benefits, daily ice cream, a 2-hour babysitting credit, late check-out and complimentary buffet breakfast daily for the whole family.
