Staff members are often noted as being accommodating and polite, contributing positively to the dining experience.
While some guests find the breakfast adequate and appreciate the variety, including eggs in different forms, pancakes, sausages, and fresh fruits, others feel the choices are limited and the quality inconsistent. A few reviews mention issues like slow service due to a single coffee machine, minimal options for sweet lovers, and an overall lack of variety.
For those satisfied with simplicity, the breakfast is considered decent, offering enough for most palates. However, for guests seeking more diverse and high-quality breakfast options, the experience might be underwhelming. The inconsistency in quality and variety seems to be a common concern among visitors who have experienced better elsewhere. Despite the varied reviews, the beachfront setting remains a charming aspect of the breakfast offering at Al's Resort.
Al's Resort offers a blend of positive highlights and areas for improvement in their room accommodations. Guests consistently praise the resort's exemplary location, with rooms just steps away from the beach and in the heart of the Chaweng nightlife area, yet without the noise disruption one might expect.
