We took a boat from Phuket out to Phi Phi Island and we stayed at the Holiday Inn Phi Phi for 3 nights. Koh Phi Phi is a beautiful place and is very relaxing.

The kids table (Kids eat free at Holiday Inn...including ice cream)...what a deal!
We had some great Thai food and always looked forward to our meals in Thailand.

Great beaches, with shade, hammocks, swings...the kids were loving it.

This is the hotel...each room is its own villa.
Upon arrival to Phi Phi island, we knew we wanted to do at least one scuba dive to see some of the underwater wildlife. We booked a day tour through the hotel and we were able to do two dives in very different terrain.

After the adults had their fun on the scuba trip, we got up the next day and took a trip around the island with all of the kids for snorkeling and to visit many of the different beaches...

On our day outing, we stopped at Monkey Beach. There were tons of tourists on the beach and there were dozens of monkeys that were not afraid to interact with the humans. We probably got a bit too comfortable with them because both Nash and Addy got bit on the hand by the monkeys.
