+: The property was very clean and beautiful. They overbooked our original room type, so they upgraded us to the presidential suite with no extra costs, which was a pleasant surprise. The food was not bad, but did not life up to the 5 star expectations. The beach and facilities there were great. The breakfast buffet was very varied and delicious.
-: The staff. At the arrival, the check took them almost two hours. It was difficult to communicate properly with the receptionist and every time she walked away, we did not get any information on why and when she would come back.The dinner on our first night was one of our worst experiences we’ve had so far. The lack of etiquette and overall rude behaviour got us annoyed. We had two salads as a starter and then we wanted to order a simple meat platter to share. At first, the waitress could not understand when we showed her the order on the menu, then she stopped listening to me and started shouting to her colleague from a distance something in thai. Finally, she arrived and took our order. Afterwards, when we had been halfway done with our salads, the chef came and threw the main course to share on our table, without a word or any plates to share it. When we asked for said plates, we got a strange look, but they still brought it. Evidently, when we were finished with our salads, the main course was cold. As it was time to sign our bill, no waitress showed up for ten minutes to clear our table, so we just left to our room. Following that waitress calling us around 8 times in our room, when we were already laying in bed, with her phone speaker probably on mute, just for us to come down again and sign the bill.The second day we barely spent any time in the hotel, however when we were having a drink on our balcony in the evening, all of a sudden a staff member stood in our room with our washed clothes. We didn’t hear a knock or bell and he was just standing there, put the clothes on our bed, took a photo of it and left, without apologising for the disruption.In conclusion. we were happy to leave to our next destination the following day, because our stay at the Pullman Khao Lak was to us more frustration than vacation.
