Dear Robert K,

Thank you for sharing your feedback from your recent stay with us at SALA Phuket Mai Khao Beach Resort.

I was sorry to read that your stay did not meet with your expectations.

Your comments regarding your Garden Pool Villa are most appreciated. Certainly, our villa's are designed to encourage indoor/outdoor living, so the bedrooms themselves are kept quite minimal with a large area of the villa dedicated to the outdoor gardens, bathrooms, seating areas and of course swimming pools which of course are far larger than the average plunge pool found in most pool villas at this price point (and even higher). Additional storage cabinets can be provided, and should certainly have been offered by our Guest Service team. Please accept my apologies for this service not being offered to you.

Regarding the villa condition, I apologize for your villa being below standard, which should never be the case. I will address this immediately with the relevant departments. We are also currently working through upgrades to all of our pool villas, including new swimming pool surfacing, new air conditioning installation and several other refurbishing tasks.

Our menu pricing is regularly reviewed against competitor resorts within our local area, and in most cases is actually priced below what you can expect to pay at our neighbouring resorts. Of course, we are not able to compete with pricing from local restaurants, whose food quality and hygiene policies are of course not on par with that of 4 and 5 start resorts. In addition, we offer attractive promotion rates throughout the year with special set menu pricing, nightly themed promotions and special menu discounts along with twice daily happy hours.


Thank you once again for sharing your review of SALA Phuket, and I hope the above has address some of your concerns. Please don't hesitate to contact me directly should you wish to return to SALA Phuket in the future so that we may have the opportunity to deliver a stay to your expectations.


Kind regards,


Anthony.
