ALEENTA LUXURY RESORT SPA PHUKET - I feel like in the right place but in the wrong time, I landed in Phuket International Airport around 8 PM something and welcomed by heavy rain, definitely hungry because I spent almost an hour on immigration line, I was thinking wow Phuket I can't wait to feel you. But first let get something to eat, a junk food.
Then I realized that there was someone from Aleenta Luxury Resort Spa Phuket, with my name on the board waiting for me at arrival gate. I saw a young beautiful lady looks a bit confused searching for Ms. Herdiana Surachman, I smiled from a distance, and try to grab my passport lol I was afraid she won't believe that I am actually a guy. I approached her then said "Hi I am actually a guy", she looked at her board and say sorry about it but she was make sure that I am heading to Aleenta "Yes, I'll stay at Aleenta". Although there was still rain falling, I wish the tittle error will eliminate existing fatigue, we both laugh.
In a car, she give me a refreshing towel, a bottle of water, and a box of chocolate, a simple welcoming happiness, not only that she gave me a drink menu, I asked to choose one as my welcome drink once I arrived at the resort (classy). No, if you are thinking she was driving, no there was a driver but he was focus on his driving. I think this is sort of their safety standard when the guest arrived at night there will be 2 staffs pick you up at the airport. Whatever it is, that was my BEST airport pick up ever, yes this is not even your country, arrived at night and it's rain, but I feel save. Thank you Aleenta :)
One main reason why I love Aleenta Luxury Resort Spa Phuket is the warm ambiance from its room that came from its lighting, feel so homey and I can say that it's gave me my best quality sleep. I also need to tell you this, the sleep robe from Aleenta, it's different, I was not take a picture because the bed and everything was so tempting, but they are two pieces t-shirt and trouser made of fine cotton that you also can buy at Aleenta Shop, so comfortable totally Zen moment.
I was still hungry and decided to have a late dinner at 9 PM, thank God the restaurant still serve because I saw nobody, yes not surprising at all because the room more than warm and nice to keep us inside lol, but I was Hungry.
I ordered ไก่ย่างกแล - Kai Yang Gor Lae or Grilled Chicken Breast with Gor Lae paste, sticky rice and tempura of Forest Leaf. I loved this so much, more over if you are so so hungry, one plate with complete experience of different style of grilled chicken that always be my favorite, but this time is Thai style with sweet sticky rice with banana inside and tempura with interesting forest leaf, I ate them all.
Another dish is Keang Pae or Local Muslim Goat Curry with coconut and yellow paste curry Massaman curry, dry coconut and lemon grass. Hmmm first I was not really sure about this, because it's written 'goat' but surprisingly it was so damn good, I am not fan of goat lamb family etc but I believe Aleenta's chef done it really great.
So the night closed by a glass fresh Virgin Mojito, after a heavy seasoning traditional Thailand food for dinner.
