Needed a clean
Part if the Grand Hyatt Hotel, there are three places for buffet breakfast at this hotel. We were at the waterside yesterday. This location is more idillic and picturesque. It us understaffed. To get a coffee we had to chase the staff. The food is similar as the other place but not as much selection. The fruit is not covered here and really could use some cooling perhaps sitting it on a bed if ice?! The watermelon was starting to go off.
Otherwise the selection is good. A great variety of tropical fruits, some cheeses (but not my taste) be nicer to have some aged cheeses. The hot asian food is ok but would expect the typical Indonesian dishes. No nasi ar mee goreng…. Perhaps start to bring in some plant based hot dishes? Lots of bacon and sausages and egged however you want them. I would think a Chinese guest would feel left out, but I guess at this stage it’s occupied with European and Australian hotel guests. In saying that there are many Australian Asian heritage people here as well.
Again like the rest of the hotel, its a little dated being build in the 90s so very much last century. One would expect digital charging stations a real Italian Espresso machine not those grind and spurt out automatic machines. Obviously catering fir Australians would need to have some decent texturing skills in making the coffee.
My rating would really be 3.5 at best but always try to go a bit higher. In saying that the hotel is making some changes but it seems to be mostly painting. We were moved into another room after a 6 hour negotiation, the original room we had was moulding and extremely dated. Funny enough they moved us to a room that was identical just repainted a few years ago. The furniture was original and worn fabrics on seatings had stains etc many thousands of people have been using this room. Absolutely no wow factor. Presuming that 5 stars is the top rating this would bare make it to 3 stars. If however we change the rating out of ten it would be correct.
In saying that it is a lively place to stay, depending how much the room rate would be. According to Luxury Escape this 5 star hotel would charge almost $1500 per night!!!???? We paid $320 (not including flights) for bfast, Lunch and dinner and some other extras. It seriously feels more like a Sizzlers experience going to the buffet bfast and the restaurants so far deliver an average cafe meal experience nit 5 star.

Ok?! Would have expected a level above if not two levels for the hyatt. Had our side plates full off fingerprints? I remember spending a lot of time removing all of the fingerprints in restaurants I worked at. The food was good but a little out of balance cauliflower and potato mash was a bit if a miss and the apple juice turned it into a dessert probably some savory spices? Barramundi was the nicest out of the three. Pumpkin chips steamed pumpkin? Mmmm the salad was ok but again a bit on the sweet side. Also perhaps put some vegetarian local food on the menu not just chicken.
