We have just returned from the most uninspiring and over-priced Christmas lunch we have ever attended. For B1800 per adult and B800 per child we were promised a delicious beach BBQ with free-flow red and white wine, beer and soft drinks.
On arrival we saw 5 tiny food stands. 2 held a selection of Thai and Western salads, one was the BBQ, one had desserts and one drinks.
After sitting for a while we approached the drinks (no-one offered to serve us apart from filling water glasses). I asked for fruit juice for my children but was told none was available and they could have either a can of Coke, Sprite or Fanta. My husband was poured a flat beer from a jug and I had a glass of quite possibly the worst wine I have tasted anywhere in Thailand. After carrying our drinks back to the table we tried the food. We wished we hadn't bothered. The meat was poorly cooked and placed on small plates for you to serve from. If you asked, the chef would put the meat back on the BBQ to warm it! If, like me, you were not a great meat fan then the choice was salad, BBQ or a tiny baked potato. There was rumor that someone saw grilled fish at one point but we did not. This on an island where outstanding seafood abounds.
As for making the lunch a "Christmas" lunch- zero effort had been made. Not a decoration or anything remotely intended to make this overpriced event anything other than a low impact and effort BBQ that you can better at any beach bar on the island for a fraction of the cost.
Apart from clearing plates, at no time did any member of staff approach our table unless we asked them - water, cutlery etc. all had to be requested.
This lunch was the low part of our Christmas and we will not be returning at any time. We are not guests at the hotel so our review is focused on this lunch only.
If you have booked here for any "event" during the festive season I wish you good luck.....

Just have come from the Sala restaurant, I was waiting for beer about 20 min and waiter forgot to bring draft beer to my husband, the food is so terrible, I orded the soup tom yam with chicken no spicy , it was not spicy but there was too much celery in it, I could not eat it really, I orded the salad with seafood, but these were no seafood , only vegetables 1|4 of cabbage and carrot and two prawns and too much celery, my husband orded the snack with fresh fish, but it was smoking and finely chopped in creamy sauce, waiters did not speak English. The bill for 2 soups, two local beers,one salad and one snack , which looks like the creamy soup was 2000 THB.

We went to Thai dinner last week call Na Thalang Ancestral Siamese dinner , it was very nice. Love the foods something that you can't buy from the market something that you have to know and chef Pam done a very good job for us. Hotel staffs was very friendly , we had a good time there.
