Review summary

Our room was nice and we had a large balcony which we enjoyed. The housekeeping crew were great and greeted us by name. The food in the Lido buffet was poor quality and generally luke warm to cold by the time you sat down to eat. The dining room food was a bit better and was at least hot. I was really looking forward to afternoon tea but was highly disappointed. They only had Lipton tea unless you paid an extra 1.95 for a different kind. Not much of a selection of finger sandwiches or goodies. If you wanted milk in your tea, they brought the milk and poured it into your tea. If you had a second cup, you had to ask for milk again. There were lots of entertainment and activity options. The spa was very pushy in selling additional services and their products.

I always take my own tea bags. I take them out of the box and put them in a ziplock bag. If I want a cuppa and the morning tea bags are put away, (the ones in the wooden box), then I still have my own.

They used to have a terrific assortment of teas. No idea why it is now an up charge.

I don't think that they have room for all kinds of tea. 99% of people don't drink tea anyway. You could have told them that you wanted to pour your own milk.
