Hi, I have been going to Phuket for 10 years and have a property there - I spend around 10 days a month there......although this is the rainy season, it tends to be short, sharp bursts of rain and then clear skies. Last year the weather in July was fabulous. Mid Sep- Mid Oct is the real back-to-back rain.
The Allamanda is great (Laguna resort) - it has 1 and 2 bedroom suites and is very family oriented. I stayed there many times. The Meridian is also great.
There are loads of things to do in Phuket - I have an 8yr old and 4yr old - I took them on a Coral Seekers Tour (www.coralseekers.com). Fantastic day out - private speedboat - which means a lot more flexibility than a join-in tour of 20+. Not expensive.
