Breakfast
The breakfast's value for money is appreciated and the attentive staff contribute positively to the overall experience. Vegan options are available, though some guests felt they were limited and there is a recognized shortage of options for celiac guests.
On the downside, a few guests felt that the breakfast did not meet the expectations of a 4-star hotel, citing poor quality cold cuts, yogurts and fruits, as well as a general lack of variety on some days. Replenishment of items was sometimes an issue, leading to occasional shortages.

Dinner
The operating hours for lunch and dinner services are also restrictive with some guests expressing disappointment over the early closing of the pool bar and lack of availability of a full-service restaurant.
