We booked this hotel for 2 nights, to include a ”gala” buffet for St. Valentine's night. (See photo for what was supposed to be included and none of it was.) First, the positives. The hotel is very good, staff welcoming, rooms, amenities, bar areas and relaxation spaces were excellent and a great position by the sea.. Now, the negatives, which centre entirely on the catering arrangements. The canteen, it certainly wasn't what I would describe as a restaurant, on our first night only had a buffet menu. It was very sp**** and the food itself unappetising. We expected a full menu, waiter service etc but not a bit of it. The bar afterwards provided some pleasure after the meal. Breakfast the next morning surprised us by being very good. However, the worst was yet to come! The ”Gala” St. Valentine's buffet the next night was a disaster. We were, in fact, the first to arrive at the canteen at 7:15. We were met with the glass of cava, or should I say a thimble full of cava that didn't even reach half way up the glass. Then we were treated to the hoards of people, including children, who didn't pass for 55+ which was the criteria for attendance. The buffet bore a surprising similarity to the one the previous evening! When we left, the ”special” evening felt anything but, especially when we saw the huge queue gathering at the entrance to the canteen waiting to get in. Again, the bar and live music lifted the mood. Breakfast on Sunday morning. If we thought the previous evening was a disaster, this was to surpass that in its ineptitude. We had to wait to be found a table, difficult given that every on seemed to be full. Eventually we were seated but there was little left of the food, no butter, which didn't matter as there was no bread to put it on either! Also, the queue to have an egg freshly cooked by the only chef on duty, was huge. The staff were fully occupied with clearing tables, trying to get people seats, rather than fill up the food trays. I eventually had some stale white sliced bread for toast and my wife settled for beans and 1/2 tomato. She was unlucky with the bread supply! This is supposed to be a 4 * hotel. They need to seriously look at this aspect of it. It was awful.
