Smooth and professional communication
The first contact with the resort was made by email, and soon Sales Director Tapio Honkamaa followed up by phone.
“Discussions quickly moved on to practical matters with Minna from the sales team, and we continued to coordinate via Teams meetings and email. We also arranged an on-site visit in the autumn to explore all the spaces we would be using.”
A proven structure, tailored execution
With a programme structure based on years of experience, the event had a clear framework – which was customised to suit the Ikaalinen setting. “We had a strong foundation that we could adapt for the needs of this event.”
Practical arrangements that worked
The event included a dedicated storage area in the changing rooms and a private registration desk in the lobby. The meeting rooms and the Arena provided the right setting for both smaller groups and the full assembly. “The recipe was clear: support was easy to get, and the staff were on top of everything.”
Dining that hit the mark
While meals were paid individually, the dinner at Kyrös restaurant received plenty of praise from participants. “Special diets were handled flexibly – the staff guided us and created suitable dishes with no trouble at all. The dinner was delicious and a perfect highlight for one of the event evenings.”
The perfect setting for an expert event
The resort proved its versatility: it offered enough accommodation for an event of around 200 people, plenty of meeting spaces for workshops, and venues like the Arena for shared moments.
“The reception team had planned for peak arrival times – when most participants arrived, staff were ready and waiting to welcome everyone.”
The small details made it a success
Everything ran on schedule, but what stood out most were the last-minute details that the resort staff handled with agility and a positive attitude. “We can warmly recommend Ikaalinen Spa & Resort for similar events – the cooperation was seamless, and the whole experience was well managed.”
Rating: 4,5/5
“We give the resort a score of 4.5 – an excellent venue and a truly successful event overall.”
