"I want to complain about the Anantara hotel. First off, for such an expensive two-night stay, costing us nearly 5000 RMB, the minibar wasn't even complimentary! As soon as we arrived, they started giving us a lot of information, but we were just tired from the journey and weren't in the mood to listen. Our butler, Nina, despite clearly hearing us say our English wasn't very good, still rattled off the room's features in fast English and didn't even bother to ask if we understood. We also mentioned on the first day that we had an early flight and would need a packed breakfast or to eat early, and she confirmed that a packed breakfast was possible. However, on the day we checked out, not only was the minibar not free, but the prices were also significantly higher than at the 7-Eleven outside! And there was no packed breakfast, not even a cup of coffee! The entire experience was terrible. On top of that, on the night we checked in, we found a huge, enormous cockroach in the bathroom! The hotel staff just said 'sorry' and then helped deal with it.
Compared to the Andaz Pattaya, which we visited in May this year, this hotel is unbelievably bad. At the Andaz, the minibar was free, and they even came to apologize and offered two bottles of champagne and a room rate reduction just because of a minor air-conditioning leak!
We only realized there was no breakfast right before we left. During the check-out process, they didn't even ask if we needed breakfast; instead, they were frantically calling housekeeping to ask what drinks we had taken. In the end, because they didn't provide a packed breakfast, they gave us two wooden bookmarks as compensation! What an insincere hotel!
Furthermore, while out shopping, I noticed people promoting their timeshare presentations (known as 'tingke fang'). I looked it up on Xiaohongshu and found that these presentations can offer much cheaper stays, but there's a high chance of being subjected to one-on-one sales pitches to join their membership program. I honestly feel this hotel isn't focusing on improving its internal service quality but rather on developing its membership base! They don't take their customers seriously. Even if someone has money, who would want to become a member of a hotel like this?"
