sea locationrepetitive buffetweak drinks
the location was acceptable, right next to the sea.
The food was disappointing . The buffet felt repetitive and lacked flavor. drinks also tasted weak and the quality was low , unless you paid extra for premium options. the room needed updating with tired furniture. i also saw pigeons inside while guests were dining , it wasn't hygienic.
