Food & drink prices at My Beach Resort
Food and beverage pricing is perceived as expensive relative to quality and local market rates, with mixed feedback on value; main meals offer better value than drinks and specialty items.
Recent reviews (April 2026) from German guests are highly specific and consistently negative on pricing across all beverage categories. Mid-2025 reviews (March–August) show more mixed sentiment and occasional positive assessments. The trend suggests persistent pricing structure rather than temporal change, with more recent guests possibly more price-sensitive or detailed in documentation.
What the reviews tell us
Alcoholic beverages consistently marked up 30–50% above local market rates: cocktails at 320–380 baht, with bar pricing noted as expensive outside happy hour (claim 284263, 290931)
Non-alcoholic drinks and specialty items carry substantial markups: mocktails/smoothies at 220 baht and a single cup charged at 100 baht flagged as excessive (claims 284271, 291114)
Main restaurant meals average $16–20 USD and are perceived as reasonably priced or decent value (claim 293081)
Seafood buffet at 850 baht offers average quality for the price, raising value concerns (claim 284245)
Top-shelf spirits availability noted as justification for higher prices, appealing to some guests despite premium positioning (claim 293432)
My Beach Resort's food and beverage pricing shows a clear pattern of elevated costs, particularly for drinks and specialty items. While casual dining options—such as the poolside café and restaurant meals averaging $16–20 USD—are viewed as reasonably priced, the resort's beverage program attracts consistent criticism. Cocktails at 320–380 baht, mocktails at 220 baht, and a charged cup at 100 baht are flagged as excessive relative to Thailand's market standards. The seafood buffet at 850 baht per person is criticized for offering only average quality at that price point. Coffee drinks (espresso at 90 baht, flat white at 120 baht) are described as decent but fall in the upper range. Notably, one Canadian reviewer found top-shelf alcoholic drinks at $12 CAD acceptable given their quality, suggesting value perception depends heavily on reference point and expectation. Overall, the resort charges premium prices across the board, but reviewers appear more forgiving of main course pricing than of ancillary items like drinks and mini bar charges.
Main courses valued reasonably; drinks and extras heavily marked up
A significant contradiction exists between reviewer perceptions of main meal pricing versus beverages and incidental items. The Canadian reviewer (claim 293081) rated main meals at $16–20 as positive value, aligning with broader acceptance of restaurant pricing. However, the same or overlapping guest base criticizes ancillary charges sharply—100 baht for a cup, 220 baht for mocktails, 320–380 baht for cocktails—as excessive relative to Thailand's market. This suggests the resort operates a two-tier pricing model: main courses are market-competitive, while beverages and premium/specialty items carry substantial markups. Additionally, claim 293432 notes top-shelf quality as justification for higher drink prices, but most German reviewers reject this rationale, seeing the markup as unjustified regardless of quality tier. German reviewers are notably more critical and specific about pricing than other nationalities represented.
