Yummy Yummy In My Tummy!







As there were 5 restaurants in our hotel, we thought we had to try them out. The hotel's Mexican restaurant did not impress us on our first visit. We ordered fajitas but when they turned up there were no tortilla wraps, we thought they had brought us the wrong dish. We enquired about it and we were told "this is how we do fajitas" If the meat and vegetables don't come in the tortilla's then usually the tortilla's come on the side and you fill them yourselves or so we thought. We really began to doubt our understanding of the dish. We looked around the restaurant as we realised other diners were looking at us, it was then that quite a few spoke and said they had received the same response about the fajitas and that they thought they were supposed to come with flour or corn tortillas as well.
Well we thought, it's only the wraps missing, so lets just eat anyway. Well we didn't have more than three mouthfuls as it really was not good. Quite a few diners just left without finishing their meals.

We did leave without finishing ours, but we gave the restaurant a second chance a couple of nights later and they seemed to have sorted it out as the fajitas came as what we thought fajitas to be, they tasted much much better and the restaurant was full of happy diners. We were told later by hotel staff that there were teething problems with the restaurant, but hoped that they were sorting it now.

The Thai restaurant was unbelievably good. I have never ever had such a good Thai meal outside of Thailand. We went quite a few times, but would have gone more if it hadn't been booked up.

The two continental/ Greek restaurants were fantastic. They were set out in a self serve style with lots of different options. Steph loves Moussaka and it was very good. We love buffet style restaurants like this because you can have a little of everything if you so wish

To toast our honeymoon we treated ourselves to the 2 Michelin Star Al Dente a la carte restaurant. The food was excellent, the staff were excellent and the atmosphere was excellent. We enjoyed prawn starters and steaks for our mains. The above pictures show how good they were.
