ROOM
Check in was normal, welcome cold drinks & towel nothing exciting. Booked a king size bed but was given a twin room; apparently a mysterious “request for twin bed” was remarks in my booking profile. Have to wait the next day for room change. Appreciate the help of the Resort FO Mgr and Kristine.
BREAKFAST
Tumeric- food and beverage were great. Good selection of food. Great service team, thank you Azila for so diligently making sure our table is clean. I felt the salad bar could be better for breakfast. Day one breakfast the flies are all over our food… resolution is to give us 2 “helicopter”. Anyway Day two we sat at the same table but was so much better.. guess the pest control was works.
IRD
Ordered a bottle of Chianti 2019 but a bottle of 2020 was delivered. Nazrin was great … offered to open and serve the wine for us. On our last night we have to order one more round of dinner; could not remember his name, we would like to express our appreciation as he has to do 3 trips for us - deliver food, deliver water and deliver salt and pepper shaker.
BEACH ACTIVITIES
It’s a third party service but due to strong wave, no beach activities are allowed. Hotel team should have let us know during check in but no information was shared. We saw a lot of people by the beach at the neighboring resort, we just walk there and join the fun.
LUNCH AT TUMERIC
Thank you Shavin for the lovely dessert. Shavin texted me about the wine vintage too. We ordered a salad, soup, fish, rice and Angus. The beef came first … wow! The rest followed 5 mins later. Service was attentive as usual. The beef ordered medium rare, one piece came cold and the rare… appreciate the chef making a new one for us.
DINNER AT SEA FIRE SALT
Oh well… it’s Xmas Eve and we only have a limited menu choice. It’s okay. We ordered 2 appetizers and 2 main… taste is so so but the portion is really sad. Lobster Ravioli 3 pcs? Turkey roulade 2 pcs with tiny sides? When we feedback the portion size to the server, his reply was individual portion size is like that … haha. We end up offering another round of dinner from IRD - Nasi Goreng kampung, pizza and a salad… taste absolutely amazing. We might as well enjoy our Xmas dinner in our room.
CHECK OUT
again, so so. We paid our bill and get into our car. Probably short of manning due to PH… nothing overly warm.
This is a highly anticipated stay: We could have stayed in a cheaper resort but we really wanted to experience the great Anantara escape. Will we come back again… hard question but thank you for your hospitality.
