We had a canny 2 week holiday. Met some lovely people, guests too. Positives- Staff were top notch. Big thanks to Sandy( fab sense of humour) Orlando( F Towers touch of) Roland, Mario, Anita, Roman, Josef, Simon ( potential model/ diva) Ladies on reception lovely when asked questions - most helpful. Housekeeping fantastic. Our room, mountain views to the rear, very quiet. Pool area lovely, although noisy kids didnt give a feeling of tranquility. Why not limit the noisy kids to a specific time? 2 hrs/ day slot. Dteadful at times. Easily avoidable. Hotel very clean and tidy. Negatives- dinner menu needs a serious upgrade. I.ll explain. 1st Course:Salad buffet starter fine. 2nd Course: Another salad! Why? Sometimes no veggie option here. Very small, pointless - often tasteless. 3rd Course: Soup - usually ok, but sometimes, again no veggie option. 4th Course - Mains- fish or meat or veggie. This was the biggest disappoitment for me. Fragments of meat often, surrounded by some tasteless beans, lentils, piece of broccoli etc. For goodness sake, a full slice of meat, 2 spuds, 2 veg, nice sauce etc would be way more preferred. Too fancy, too often, for me. The meat feast night, with lamb shanks, chicken, beef, pork etc ,why not split that lot over the other nights' main dishes? Many will disagree with this point. I know many loved their mains.5th Course: Sweets - only one choice - mostly fine- usually a big batch make, then spooned into small glasses. I would have loved more apple strudel, ice-cream as an alternative, a cheesecake or 3, a piece of gateau etc. Way too limited! 6th Course: Cheese - great choice. No complaints but where were the cheese biscuits, just bread? Really?
