Mixed Feelings about the Stay

poor trainingslow service
I found the service inconsistent. Some staff were great. others seemed poorly trained! Getting a simple coffee at the Levante restaurant was a challenge. The staff really struggled with my order. I asked for a specific type of coffee, but it was wrong twice. It took ages to receive drinks.

The breakfast buffet had many options.
I encountered issues with the QR code ordering system at the pool. It felt impersonal! and the service at Levante restaurant was slow. It took ages for drinks. A simple Calypso coffee proved to be a challenge for the bartender. The replacements were not what I expected. apply, twice. -.
