TL;DR

According to a recent report, breakfast at this hotel can feel very repetitive: mainly eggs, bread rolls, beans, and sometimes even pasta, with little or no fish or meat in the morning.
Some recent feedback describes a broader buffet selection beyond the basics, mentioning pizza, sushi, soups, plenty of pastries, fries, a separate kids’ section, and steamed diet dishes.
For lunch and dinner, travelers suggested being cautious with premixed salads in the heat and, when possible, making your own from chopped cucumber, tomato, bell pepper, lettuce, and grated carrot with olive oil.
Dinner at the main hotel restaurant can include a proper seafood risotto with mussels, salmon, shrimp, and squid, with a real portion of seafood rather than just a garnish.
In the evening, chefs may serve salmon steaks at a live station, and guests felt extra portions were likely available on request. Standard dinner options also include chicken, beef, and fish prepared in several ways.
Some of the better evening items mentioned were Brie cheese, mussels served as an appetizer, and berry cheesecakes. Crabs are sometimes grilled, but travelers noted they do not offer much meat.
Breakfast is much simpler than dinner: made-to-order eggs with extra fillings are generally not available. At most, staff may sprinkle some cheese on top from a prepared tray, with no other mix-ins offered.
Basic breakfast items mentioned included eggs, flatbread, rice, and cabbage soup. Some familiar products may be missing or unsuitable for certain diets, so travelers sometimes buy extra fruit, fish, tomatoes, and juice separately; salads are best taken early.
