Here guests are welcome to enjoy such facilities as meeting and conference rooms, a spa centre, several tennis courts, a club for kids, a swimming pool, and various water entertainment options.

The Outrigger brand is widely recognized as a company specializing in quality service and beautiful beachfront destinations mostly in tropics, so the purchase of Laguna Beach Resort falls under the policy of the hotelier and its expansion plans. The company already has experience of managing a hotel in the Laguna Phuket destination, so they are sure they can offer high level of comfort for their guests and leave them fully satisfied. Once open after the renovation, the Laguna Beach Resort will be added to the hotelier’s portfolio in the region that already includes the Outrigger Laguna Phuket Resort and Villas managed since 2009. Outrigger is also present in such popular Asia leisure destinations as Bali, Phuket, Quy Nhon (Vietnam), Phi Phi Island (Thailand), and several Chinese hot spots (Sanya and Hainan Island).
