After searching many different hotels and locations, my wife and I decided to get married and celebrate our honeymoon at the Sala Phuket Resort. Sala made our special day and the rest of our stay very memorable.
SERVICE
Following the confirmation of our reservation and wedding ceremony, we were contacted by the wedding planner to arrange all the details very systematically. We never went more than a week without an update regarding how the plans were going. We frequently received emails from Sala simply telling us that everything was working out great and they were looking forward to meeting us when we arrived. Their frequent and clear communication before we even arrived really made us feel content, which is exactly what you’d hope for a destination wedding.
Once we arrived at Sala, during our check in we were greeted by the General manager Jon, and the wedding planner Pui. They let us know that everything was going according to plan with regards to the wedding and would keep us updated. It was obvious that not only were preparations being made, but also Sala had informed every single staff member of our wedding. Everybody was incredibly welcoming and would tell us how excited they were for the ceremony.
ROOM
We stayed in a Sala Pool Villa and thoroughly enjoyed every day in it. The room was always nice and cool in the day. We enjoyed the outdoor bathroom as it added to the tropical ambience of the entire experience. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the mini bar area had a thoughtful amount of drinks and snacks to choose from. Furthermore, the small private pool was great for relaxing and even putting in a few laps.
FACILITIES/AMENITIES
Over our stay we were able to take advantage of everything that Sala offered. The sauna was very nice and always empty. The small gym was thoughtfully put together and always had a supply of apples and water for after the gym. Over the course of our stay, we were able to try many different Spa treatments. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the treatments and found the staff to be very friendly.
RESTAURANT
We thoroughly enjoyed every meal we had over the course of our stay in the restaurant. The breakfast always had unlimited fruit, yogurt, granola, milk, coffee, and tea to choose from to go along with a handful of main course selections from the breakfast menu. The main course portion sizes were also very generous. We found the menu choices for lunch and dinner to be equally delightful with large portions that were always delicious. We’d considered eating at restaurants at other hotels but decided not to since the price would be comparable or more expensive, and we thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered – from the salads to the main dishes to the Thai sampler platters. We knew we could always count on having fantastic food and drinks when we dined in the restaurant. The bar was also nice to lounge in and enjoy tapas and drinks from the menu. Towards the end of our stay, there were also deals for bottles of wine during happy hour.
WEDDING CEREMONY
Overall, Sala fulfilled and surpassed all of our expectations for our wedding ceremony and reception. Our wedding planner Pui, was incredible throughout the whole process and alleviated any concerns we had about organizing a wedding in an unfamiliar location. She made the whole process as transparent and stress free as it could possibly be. The whole process was made so easy.
Come the day of our wedding, everybody’s prayers seemed to be answered as the rain clouds opened up and we had fantastic weather for our ceremony and dinner. Everything about the evening was flawless and we honestly could not think of anything that could have made the ceremony or reception any more perfect than the Sala Phuket team made it for us.
Overall, our 2-week stay at the Sala Phuket was easily one of the best vacations we’ve ever had. The amazing staff, beautiful facilities and location provided an incredibly carefree and relaxing atmosphere.
