Unacceptably slow service and average food: Pool Bar @ Renaissance Koh Samui Resort & Spa (9. January 2024)
Unfortunately, the food offerings at the Renaissance Koh Samui Resort & Spa are very limited. For lunch, you can basically visit the breakfast restaurant or the Pool Bar. Given, it was pool time, I went to the Pool bar to order a “Khao Pad (Thai style fried rice with chicken, served with a fried egg)” (385 THB), which took them quite a while to prepare, but once it finally arrived, it turned out to be quite nice.
The area by the pool isn’t too inviting, but it’s okay, i.e., it’s fine to eat something there while you’re spending time at the beach or at the pool. What wasn’t so great was the quality of the service. It took them a solid 15 minutes to bring a coke and a bottle of sparkling water to the table. I mean, I get it, there are a few people, and they also order things, but 15 minutes – man, no!

I started the blog in October 2009, while living in Milan which I definitely consider to be one of the food capitals of the world. I was in touch with food since my early childhood (as my father is a former chef). Whenever I can, I travel the world to discover new places, to meet people but mostly to try local dishes and to find hidden gems! If you know a place worth going, please drop a line to: info@thediningexperience.org.
Currently, I am a member of the following food-related associations: Chevalier @Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Zurich-Ville; Membre Gourmet Dégustateur @Ordre Mondial des Gourmets Dégustateurs [OMGD]; Gesellschafter @Goldener Fisch and Member @Slowfood Convivium Zurich City.
