Sala Phuket Mai Khao Beach Resort

My wife and I just spent 10 nights in a garden pool suite, and it was the most relaxing stay we’ve had in a long time, the private pool was exceptional, as that is where we spent a lot of the time. It could have been a little better, if there was a lounge, with comfy seating & tables to lounge in and perhaps some board or card games included, we usually bring our own card games but on this occasion we forgot. As both my wife and I are coeliac, the staff went above and beyond to meet our allergy condition, but I must give full marks to chef Tony (who just happens to English) who excelled in obtaining a couple of serves of gammon steaks for us on our last day, gammon steak, pineapple on top, fried egg and a side of chips, I can only give you a 10/10 Tony, but if I could give you more, you would well and truly deserve it, also all the staff in the Sala dining room, unfortunately can’t remember any names, all done a great job, thank you, and our cleaning lady, who made sure the room was always spick & span. Would we recommend Sala, absolutely,

We loved our stay at Sala. For reconnecting with a partner or meeting up with friends this was ideal. Private pool villas exceeded all our expectations and We loved the restaurant. This is the third time I’ve stayed in that beach area. I have stayed at the Marriott and one of the Anatara properties and this was by far my favorite place. The pool villas are perfect and the service was spectacular. The people working the breakfast and in the bar on the beach were lovely. The Chef that taught the cooking class was really great at explaining the dishes and he had us trying some very local Thai dishes that we had not seen in a cooking class before. We loved hanging out in our private pool, but we also love the big pool that was out by the beach. We visited the farm - loved the chickens and goats. The grounds were meticulously clean the rooms had very comfortable beds. This is my new first choice for a hotel on Phuket.

First time at SALA Phuket (but second time in SALA hospitality) I had the pleasure of staying here with my partner and it was a fun experience. ⭐️Rooms: Very neat and clean, they have 'Beach bag' which is the best stuffs to carry on to the sea. Outdoor bathroom is truly SALA signature ☺️ ⭐️Service: Front desk staffs and service staffs are super kind and helpful. Biking coach is nice and care about our safety a lot. I deduct 0.5 for restaurant staff in morning shift. I'm Thai, but I expect the level of service as foreigner - Staff didn't talk to me or explain about special menu, I need to figure it out on my own. ⭐️Location: Very close to the airport and have private beach ⭐️Food: I deduct 0.5 because the food is too oily on some menus, especially afternoon tea set - I hope you have more variety and combination than put anything on fried.

Our stay in Sala Phuket was perfect. The accommodation was wonderfully luxurious. The setting amazing. The sunsets truly phenomenal. However, I think the staff are what really made the stay seem so relaxing. Friendly and helpful, every single one of them. There was always somebody nearby to answer questions, or take requests. When we were sitting around the pool staff would bring around water or juice unprompted. I especially appreciated the response of the kitchen staff when I asked if they could put the meat dishes together at breakfast, separate from the other food. They did it from that point on, no fuss at all. That was important to me (strict vegetarian), and took away a stress point. Speaking of food, the breakfast was tremendous. I preferred to start at 7am, it was so peaceful. Birdsong and crashing waves were the backdrop. Another nice thing I observed was seeing Tony the Chef and Tiger (F&B) chatting with guests, getting feedback, and having a laugh with the guests. We have been examining our diaries to find dates for our return!
