At a price if you like that sort of thing! – We arrived via dirt track roads, without a 4×4 I don’t know how others would reach the security gates to the resort on the bone shaking paths. As we entered… read more we were greeted and was advised that as we weren’t staying in the resort entry was £18.43 per person and this was access to any activities. I wondered what if you didn’t want to part take in any activities as we had senior citizens in our group. I realised that it was the access fee even if you just wanted to look at the sea in this resort. Bit pricy in my view but everything was in this place. Wouldn’t actually be on my list but I was part of a group and I just tagged along from other’s reviews of the place.
You were given a free complimentary drink, for that entry price I’d expect a dance too but hey ho. I came for the swim so into the cove I went, beautiful and secluded and not too many people around in the resort, not sure if everyone was still asleep. The toilet’s also acted as the changing rooms! With such a posh resort you’d think they’d invest in proper separate changing facilities probably placed near the water itself and not the long walk back to near the entrance? where are the planners when you need them?.
After the salty water I used the resorts swimming pool. They could of made it more user friendly as one of the seniors in the group had trouble finding the stairs onto the pool side and also into the pool. No life guards for the pool! bit worrying as it’s such a recommended and revered resort?.
So then came lunch. We’d ordered well before time so everything should have been ready. You’d think so at those prices. Some ordered the ‘fish of the day’ sounds nice doesn’t it? today it was Barracuda – grilled. A predator amongst fish but this time it lost to humans!. A portion of this predator with a side order of chips/yam chips/rice/French fries will set you back £18.90 per person. What is it with this place and a simple salad, the staff had problems with language, the understanding of it. I didn’t want a full Caesar Salad, a full on war salad, i just wanted a simple tomato, lettuce, onions, probably throw a few olives in and “BOOM” that’s simple. After asking twice I said forget about it, just give me BBQ chicken wings and French Fries, even that came to £15.20. I should of went for the ‘fish of the day’.
The x6 BBQ chicken wings arrived and everyone else’s dishes arrived but not my French Fries, I think they were actually ordering it from France because it never arrived!. I called the head of the restaurant over and remarked that it’ll be nice to have the wings and French fries together? “2 minutes” came the reply. 2 minutes came and past. When a Ghanaian tells me anything related to time I know that it’s going to be late or it’ll never happen, it’s 1 or the other. Anyway, a full portion of French fries never did turn up, however he did rustle up a small person, enough for a person that was on a super diet but put it on the house because of the issues. I asked what the issue was when I didn’t get the fries and the waiter claimed “there was a challenge in the kitchen?” Not sure what that translated to? was it because of Brexit, the word “French” could and should not be used until Brexit is finally done?.
One of the senior citizens ordered a vegetable stir fry with plain rice £14.55! the vegetables must of been delivered by drone! come on, for vegetables in some kind of sauce and boiled rice?. And the drinks? I looked @ drinks menu and they were more reflective of London’s prices! all but one of us stuck to water we had already. If there’s one thing I won’t pay over the odds for, it’s alcohol. One of the group had a Margarita, £8.29 in one of those cocktail glasses, he ones that were wide at the start and became smaller at the stem, an ingenious design!.
Total bill for access and lunch for 6 of us? £215.75.. Was it an experience of a lifetime as recommended by some? not really, Now if they only managed to get the French fries right then I may have changed my opinion but over priced and over recommended. I asked how much was a room for the night £320! not sure if that included Breakfast, lunch and dinner but I’d hoped so unless you were in a room where there was a glass floor below you so that you could see the Barracuda hunting @ night?.
I’ve been to other places that weren’t as posh but the food was better and the service was also better so I think I’ll give this one a miss if I’m ever in the area, especially the 4×4 adventure route to the resort.
