Our first reservation at the Westin Siray Bay Resort was in March 2020, but that was cancelled due to COVID 19. After 2 years, we are glad to stay at this beautiful property!
We were at a Sala Villa with pool, and enjoyed every moment of it! An inspiring view of the Siray Bay presented in front of us at the villa, and it was especially wonderful to soak in the pool to take in the view of the changing colours of sunset. The beautiful scenery of the Siray Bay could be seen from almost every area of the resort, including the main shared pool.
We had great food at the Seasonal Taste restaurant. The Breakfast Buffet had a great spread of food choices, and we could savour different dishes during our 3 breakfast sessions. There were also a good variety of ethnic cuisines - Thai, Arabic, Indian, Western to satisfy us for our lunches and dinners. We also received very personable and attentive service from the restaurant staff - Frada, Ting, Noon, Noey and Darren.
The resort has a private beach, on which we enjoyed relaxing strolls, invigorating sea breeze and soothing scenery. However, the beach had coarse sand mixed with pebbles and rocks, which did not inspire confidence for barefoot wading or swimming.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would return during our next trip to Phuket. We note that the room facilities were dated and some equipment were faulty (eg. electrical switches not working, sliding door hinges that were loose). We understand the COVID 19 situation could have contributed to these, and were willing to accept them during this trip, for the other wonderful features of the resort. However, we hope that these could be improved the next time we visit it.
