   Very good food, menu limited to pizza and pasta but we didn't mind. Pizza was very tasty and staff friendly. It's a busy hotel restaurant so there's not much atmosphere but it's great for what it is

   Staff friendly and worked hard on a busy evening! The food was lovely and our son gave 5 stars to his doughball starter!

   We are here as part of a dinner, bed and breakfast offer. As such, I had £25 credit to spend on food which covered 2 courses, and my son ate 3 courses for free. I ordered an extra course, a soft drink for us both and an espresso after dinner and felt overall the value was good. That is particularly true for the included children's meal as the portions were generous and the quality was very good. My own food was nice, especially the main, and the overall quality was good. The service was a little slow at the end of the meal - it had been fine during the meal but we spent an age waiting on a bill and to pay and in the end went to the maitre de table at the door which wasn't ideal as there were diners looking to come into the restaurant. Overall though, I was impressed and happy with the meal.

   We had a lovely meal before attending a concert in the resort. We all had something different and it was all excellent. The pizza was especially good. The wine was lovely and the whole meal including drinks wasn't overly expensive. The staff were excellent and we'll definitely be back.

   Very friendly and attentive staff. Surprisingly good food for an onsite offering. Very quick service,. The kids loved the pizza, didn't think was too expensive apart from the drinks.

   Food was average. Waiting staff seemed grumpy. A nice touch was the lady making the pizzas let my little one make her own pizza.

    Turned up to find the place closed. The hotel said it had been closed for months, yet I got confirmation the day before reminding me of my booking. Not happy
