waitress service and bar staff - all young people had very good customer skills, polite and courteous. Breakfast on first day - a good old fashioned 'full English' was great
buffet breakfast on 2nd day 1st evening meal in restaurant - trying too hard with menu, presentation of food was good but too many mixtures of flavours/spices hiding taste of true foods. Waiting staff and cleaning staff (room) very polite and helpful.
