I’m going to breakdown my review as there was such a drastic difference in the hotel compared to the ‘all inclusive food/drink’ offering. The location was lovely, just far enough out of town up a slight hill to get stunning views, peace, quiet and no hassle of traffic. Near enough for a short walk to the shops and busier ***** with bars and restaurants. The hotel grounds were well kept, clean and pretty, lots of lovely fruit trees and a good blend of green areas and patio area poolside. Good mix of sunbeds, beanbag beds, tables and chairs and the choice of sun or shade in the common use areas. The room was beautiful, we were given a free upgrade to assist with my mobility issues which was greatly appreciated. There were a few steps up to each room but manageable for a stick user. Apart from being slightly dark inside, the rooms more than made up for it with modern fittings and decor, a fantastic shower that I wanted to bring home. Really big and powerful overhead waterfall and separate hose for hair washing. Plenty of plugs, nice flat screen tv if needed. We played our Alexa off the WiFi which was really strong and serviced us well all week. Bedding was clean and lots of towels available daily. Almost all of the staff were really helpful and friendly, the restaurant staff were professional but less helpful, maybe because this was where most of the challenges came in customer satisfaction.The food I’m sad to say was just awful. Very little variety or quality of food. I’m talking basic food not an expectation of anything more for a 3 star. The breakfast wasn’t worth getting up for. One two slice toaster shared across all guests. Two panini presses which didn’t toast. No lattes available. Filter coffee was available until 10,30pm if they had milk at the bar. Lots of items such as tomatoes and pancakes would run out well over an hour before breakfast close and would not be replenished. Bacon one day and sausage the next, both never on the same day. If there were fried egg there wouldn’t be scrambled or poached. An example of how bad the food was being an egg frittata on the evening menu was chopped up and repurposed to seasoned eggs with cheese melted on top the next morning. Beef burgers were the only and main meat offering on one night. Snacks available were whatever was left over pastry wise or cold meat wise from breakfast. When I say meat there was only continental sausage slices, no real ham or meat as would be expected. Ice cream was only available in the restaurant during lunch and dinner services, how is this all inclusive? Also my first experience of having to clear my own plate at a bin and cutlery station. It felt like a school not an all inclusive holiday experience. The bar was available 10.30am - 10.30pm, four cocktail choices which were out of a carton. Beer and house wine was fine and plentiful. No local vodka or gin options. Only branded options available at extra costs. Overall the food and drink during this holiday
