Heaving read previous reviews I was worried about what to expect. The room was down several steps of stairs, which meant I was reluctant to return to my room unless I really needed to but the room was bright and airy with a view of the tennis courts and gardens. (I was expecting a “dungeon experience” after reading previous reviews) so was pleasantly surprised. The room was lacking a kettle, as I would have liked to be able to make a coffee or sterilise equipment. Towels were replaced daily which wasn’t necessary and better environmentally if we got to choose when they were replaced. As a Vegan couple, we were worried about what would be on offer and having to survive on food that we bought with us (lots of choc au pains) which we didn’t eat many of. Breakfast had a variety of breads, vegan friendly Marge and a variety of jams. There was always fresh fruit, tinned peaches and granola to enjoy. There was a choice of soya milk or rice milk to have with cereal too. The staff were friendly and the coffee was great. Toast was available on request and tomatoes were available. The food available at the poolside was not suitable for vegans, or at least no vegan option on the menu. The food we saw others getting looked really nice but was expensive as portion sizes were enormous. We didn’t ask for anything vegan, instead going to the shop nearby. Dinner was served quite late, from 8pm which would be really hard for younger families. It was often past 9:30 by the time we got to dessert which meant hard on the digestion before bed. As every meal was usually a 4 course meal, we were interested to see what the vegan option would be. Not every course was to our tastes as my partner dislikes tomatoes and quite a lot of veg. We took the view that with four courses, we could pick and choose what we wanted without going hungry. The starters were often grilled veg, olives or salad or focaccia (my favourite). Mains were risotto, pasta, soup. Seconds included schnitzel with rosemary roasted baby potatoes, tofu etc. every day was very different and we particularly enjoyed our waiter trying to explain what we were having, with him really struggling at times to put it in to English. Our waiter was lovely, and amused as he tried to work out what we could have. His English was good, but translating vegan menus was quite challenging. The first few days of arrival were harder as it was clear they hadn’t had time to think about a vegan menu and what could be done, but as the week went on, the service was much faster and menu had been planned in advance. the food was amazing and we felt well cared for. I was put off buying wine as the wine menu was so expensive. At 25 euros a day, over the week the bill would have been 175 euros to have a bottle of wine with each meal, then a further 3 euros a day for a bottle of water. The cost of wine at the local shop was only 1.80 euros, so we were better off having wine before dinner and just buying a glass each for the meal, wh
