Bit of a mystery this place. Lovely location in Turtle Bay with clean pool area and ample very comfortable brand new sun beds and nice thatched roof bar facing west overlooking the ocean. Set in private gated estate with plenty of activities including free water skiing and several boating activities. Horse riding is available for a fee from their own stables which you can visit to see the horses, which is alongside a giant tortoise enclosure and the ruins of the original estate buildings complete with the history of it. Golf is free but you pay for club hire.
What lets it down is the buffet, the lack of reservation spaces in restaurants and sometimes the service. The buffet is fairly basic by any standard and if you go for dinner at say 8.45/9.00 don’t be surprised if some dishes are not available because when it’s gone it’s gone. We wanted lamb curry at 8.50 one night ( it’s open until 10 pm ) only to find the warmer empty. We asked for some to be brought out only to be told “sorry no more “. So my wife plumped for beef and chicken both of which were inedible as the chicken was dry as old boots and the beef needed cutting with a surgical knife it was so tough. The waiter tried and accepted he could not cut it either. To be fair the chef appeared , apologised and offered to cook her “anything she wanted” she was tempted to ask for fillet steak but politely declined his offer having proved her point that the meat was uneatable. The selection is a bit repetitive but the secret is to eat as early as you can or you’ll be left wanting. In most decent buffets there is usually a showpiece for the evening , ie suckling pig, fresh salmon, huge beef joints or turkey. Here most nights it was a sad looking 2 lb chicken like something out of Tesco being unceremoniously hacked into small chunks by a young assistant with obviously no carving or serving skills. Sometimes there’s a leg of lamb on offer but the young lad carving it was bombarded with complaints after serving it virtually raw. It went back into the glass fronted oven with 3-4 of its undercooked compatriots as a queue waited for them to finish cooking.
If you want to dine in any of the a la carte restaurants I suggest you book literally as you check in as there are very limited spaces and we waited 6 days before using one as they were all fully booked.
The service is average at best although a few well aimed tips will speed things up a bit. Most staff are pleasant but others especially in the La Maree restaurant and bar can be a bit abrupt and very slow.
The drinks attendant at the pool end of the beach was not replaced on his days off so it meant regular up trips to the bar to get drinks.
Another enigma is they will drag you round the Indian Ocean on a high powered boat all day long with two planks strapped to your feet for nothing. But you go to the snack menu and find you pay nearly a tenner for a basic chicken burger whilst fish and chips or a club sandwich is free. How they decide on these little random charges is beyond me. Having said that the fish and chips is delicious.
In all a very well kept place with spacious rooms and plenty of activities in a nice setting but we’ve been to better 4 star places with maybe not so many activities but much much better food and service. I
wouldn’t stump up another 6 grand to come here again. However if someone offered me the same for 2/3 the price I probably would.
Good but not brilliant.
