Amari Palm reef in North Chaweng is quite a good choice for a family.
The beach in front of the hotel is not the best part of Chaweng beach but still nice enough. The resort itself has a couple of good pools,nice grounds and a generally good ambience/vibe for a family. You are also away from the main nightlife to avoid any disturbance but not too far to visit if you choose.
The only thing to add is that the resort is in two halfs,either side of the Chaweng beach road. I have often stayed at the non beach side accomodation with pool and enjoyed it very much but this is something one might what to consider.
