Check-in was disappointing from the start. The staff member asked, “Would you like me to escort you to the room?” without explaining that Andaz Pattaya is a very large, village-style resort. Because it sounded optional, I said she could point me in the right direction and I’d find it myself—and she actually let me do that. I ended up spending a long time wandering around the resort trying to locate my room on my own.||There was a brief introduction to the resort’s restaurants during check-in, but no mention that dinner reservations were strongly recommended due to crowd levels. As a result, we were unprepared for how busy the restaurants were that evening, and we couldn’t even secure an outdoor table at Village Butcher. There was also no explanation of the minibar policy, including the fact that it is complimentary, which is important information and should have been clearly communicated.||That night, Village Butcher was a complete mess. Staff were scrambling and appeared overwhelmed. We ordered a butcher’s burger and specifically requested mayonnaise on the side, but it arrived inside the burger. When we tried to clarify or resolve the issue, the staff seemed confused and didn’t understand what we were referring to, which made the experience even more frustrating.||We also had a disappointing experience at Teak Lounge. We tried to order the millefoglie twice on two different days, and it was unavailable both times. We settled for a Thai tea square croissant and asked if it could be warmed up. While the staff were friendly, they seemed completely clueless and were somehow unable to operate the small oven. We ended up with a cold croissant. To make matters worse, during packaging, a staff member smeared her fingers all over the Thai tea icing, which was unsanitary and unprofessional.||One morning, I went to the beachfront pool and tried to find a chair, but the staff told me they were all full. I stood at Fish Club to wait. About three minutes later, a family of three arrived, and somehow the staff immediately cleared and prepared three chairs for them. I was shocked and asked why they were seated before me. Only then did the staff eventually clear two additional chairs for me and my partner. The whole situation felt unfair and poorly handled.||This was our first stay at an Andaz property. While the facilities and design are beautiful, the service was a major letdown. This wasn’t about the resort being around 85% occupied, but rather about a lack of care and attentiveness. It honestly felt like we were treated differently because we were only staying one night and using a free night award.||If this were a cash stay, I would have reached out to Hyatt and asked for compensation. Overall, extremely disappointing.
