Perched right on the headland, the hotel overlooks the Andaman Sea offering guests the most peaceful, relaxing environment to enjoy a meal or kick back with a sophisticated glass of wine or two.
I recently headed to the tranquil hotel to see what all the fuss was about, and let’s just say I was not left disappointed. As soon as I arrived, I was greeted by the warm, friendly staff who hopped me into one of their futuristic buggies that took me right to the top of the hill, dropping me off at the door of the reception. What a great way to start the evening.
We were greeted by the lovely Bella who then escorted us to the most beautiful outside terrace where we had a huge circular sofa all to ourselves. Here we enjoyed a few classic signature cocktails and watched the sun set. It really was breathtaking and it was easy to see why so many people stay here.
I was so impressed with the whole resort and how each corner was designed with such attention to detail. Sitting on the terrace looking up at the tall standing trees made me feel like I could be anywhere. It was so tropical, and the trees made the place secluded, peaceful and private.
After we washed down the selection of creative nuts and snacks with our drinks, we headed to the restaurant. I couldn’t believe the size of the buffet, the options were endless and you could spot how fresh the seafood was from a mile away!
We were also offered dishes from the à la carte menu as some of us wanted to test out some of their other popular dishes.
But first, we headed to the salad buffet where we proceeded to fill our plates with the most fresh selection of salads including the ever-so-tender chicken tandoori, potato salad, pasta salad, mixed salad leaves, beetroot salad, mixed veggies, papaya salad, just to name a few! There were also pots of prawn cocktails too.
Following these delightful appetisers, some of the table tried out the sushi and sashimi station. Whereas I waited for my main course to arrive, and boy oh boy was I glad I did.
Suddenly, a stunning wooden board with wagyu beef steak on top was presented to me. And next to the steak were some French fries and grilled vegetables including eggplant, red pepper and zucchini, as well as a cute little pot of gravy and peppercorn sauce. Believe me when I tell you how extraordinary the steak was, it was cooked to perfection and the taste of the beef alongside the creamy sauce just melted in my mouth! I hadn’t tasted something so divine in quite a long time.
The rest of the table indulged in the prawns, lobster, seabass, tuna, and all things sea friendly. No one really spoke for fifteen minutes, a true testament to how delicious the food was!
By this point, I was extremely full and couldn’t have even imagined eating anything else! But, when I walked over to the dessert corner to at least get a glimpse into what I might miss out on,
you can probably guess that I decided to in fact indulge in the large array of sweets and cakes.
From homemade macaroons, to tasty, creamy éclairs, to cupcakes, to chocolate cake, homemade ice creams including mango and coconut flavours, a live crêpe station, pumpkin cake and a few more delightful nibbles that I couldn’t fit in my tummy!
Overall I was more than impressed with my experience of the Pullman, from the service, to the friendly, warm atmosphere, to the quality of the ingredients, I would highly recommend this delightful hotel to anyone. Whether it’s for a sunset cocktail, or to indulge in the outstanding seafood, you won’t regret it.
