For a boutique resort that is trendy and modern in design, and has a healthy attitude towards food, then the COMO Point Yamu Resort in Phuket, Thailand is your place to relax in gorgeous settings, and eat healthy good foods, as you enjoy your days by the pool, watching the sunrise or sunset with your loved ones, family and or friends. Start by searching and looking it up on the web, and checking out their villas, with their private infinity pool and private butler service. The resort is rather out there in seclusion, for those visitors who prefer peace, tranquility and privacy over the hustle and bustle of always jam-packed Phuket city. The views of the ocean are just about everywhere and combine that with your own private infinity pool, and life is VERY good. For those on a budget, the rooms in the main building also have great views and the common pools (3 long pools stretched out like an airport runway) are also very attractive and enticing. Special date, honeymoon, or anniversary with the significant other, show them how important they are, by blowing them away with jaw dropping views from a villa with private infinity pool. Villas with 2, 3 or even 4 bedrooms are available, if you are very good, to all of your many friends. This resort is also family friendly, even for babies and small infants. Back to the main reason I was blown away, and why I am writing this lengthy review, is their rather different approach to food. Quality over quantity; let me repeat, quality over quantity. Most hotels and resorts also chant this mantra, but at COMO Point Yamu, quality is the quality of the food ingredients used; quality is pushing the boundaries to design unique menu items, and finally quality is the attention to details in food presentation and fine tastes. And all of this to be executed at a site in a rather isolated location. I consider myself to be a serious foodie, so when I say the quality of the food here alone is worth visiting. You should be planning a trip here soon to try for yourselves. There are 2 main restaurants at COMO Point Yamu. The Thai restaurant Nahmyaa, opens for dinner only which is a shame because Thai food this good should be available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is at Nahmyaa where I learned of and tasted for the first time, a Green Mango and Seabass Soup, which is a MUST TRY. The other restaurant which is opened for breakfast, lunch and dinner is the Italian restaurant La Sirena. The massive operation to handle the breakfast crowd usually means the restaurant's lunch and dinner services are some-what sacrificed, but La Sirena does well for all meal services. The breakfast buffet does not overwhelm the customer with a thousand choices, but instead focuses on a few items to do well, and also allows the customer to make his or her choices via a a-la-carte menu that serves one with the very best breakfast items in my view. The design, execution and presentation of the breakfast menu is the very best I have witnessed in all my travels. My hats off to Jeffery, the restaurant manager there, for this concept, and nurturing the resources to deliver, in my view an award-winning breakfast. My number one hotel breakfast service was the one served at The Four Seasons Hotel on Lake Como in Italy, but it now has been superseded by La Sirena. As for La Sirena, for dinner service, when the executive chef and his brigade take center stage, the food is not compromised one bit, by the need to prepare for the next day's early morning breakfast service. In fact, the dinner service food quality at La Sirena is as good, if not better, than some of the Michelin rated restaurants in Venice, Italy. Let me give you 2 simple examples of how food is different here. Breakfast, no toaster or mechanical gadgets, but a pastry chef manning a charcoal hibachi to toast your bread or pita. Not a million types of bread, but just pita, white or wheat bread for authentic bread toasting with charcoal. Second, as a non-chili eater in Thailand, I often ask for no chili’s to be added, but when I was recommended a breakfast item with chili jam, called Thai Egg & Bacon (MUST TRY) from the breakfast a-la-carte menu, the chili jam or chili sambal was absolutely non-spicy, which I never thought would be possible. I was over-joy and asked immediately for the recipe which Chef Yo was happy to supply me. Thank you Chef Yo once again for thinking about customers like me who cannot handle hot spiciness and taking extra time to prepare this chili sambal without spiciness. Good on you and good on COMO Point Yamu. Keep it up COMO Point Yamu and I shall return again and again. William Siu Hong Kong Stayed with Family Jan 7-13, 2024 for 2BR Pool Villa…
