We had a fantastic time at the Olympic Lagoon. We were greeted with a drink at check-in, which was much appreciated. We were then shown to our room by the porter who explained how all the room facilities worked. The next morning, after a lovely breakfast where there was a vast selection to choose from, we were allocated our sun beds. We requested a quiet area and the attendant duly allocated our beds, which turned out to be ideally situated 2 rows from the promenade. It was my 66th birthday the day after we arrived and I was pleasantly surprised when I returned to our room, after a day of sunbathing, to find a Birthday cake, card and balloon waiting for me, which had been left by the hotels guest services team. A lovely touch. We had booked all-inclusive, which included access to their Italian and Pan-Asian a la carte restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our night at the Garibaldi Italian restaurant, which offers a 7 course selection of food. My initial thought was 7 courses would be too much but the portion sizes were spot on and the food was excellent. You ate at your own pace so you were never harassed by the staff and I can only compliment them on their excellent service. The service in the Pan-Asian restaurant was a bit more rushed. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her 4 courses but unfortunately I wasn't that enamoured with the first 3 courses but my dessert, Matcha Cheesecake, was sensational. Easily the best cheesecake I have EVER tasted. The Arena Experience Theatre was available every night and I would highly recommend the Grease and Queen nights. Word of warning for these nights though, I would get to the theatre a good 30 minutes before these shows start to make sure you get a seat as these shows are extremely popular. Overall we had a fantastic holiday and are considering when to return later in the year.
