TL;DR
Food is generally good: fish, seafood, grilled meats, quail, sushi, omelettes. Snack bar near the restaurant entrance; alcohol available at the beach bar and lobby bar.
Recent reviews say lunch always includes at least one type of fish, beef in several preparations, and chicken in at least two types; spit-roasted turkey sometimes appears too — a bit dry but served with a tasty apple sauce.
For dinner, some guests rely on the grill: options mentioned include fish, chicken shashlik, and beef patties, with grilled vegetables available daily. For lunch, they use the Italian restaurant on the beach.
Newly mentioned dishes include spring rolls, a Greek-style salad, Chinese-style and Thai-style beef, and for dessert ice cream served with hot banana and chocolate.
At the Chinese à la carte restaurant, guests particularly liked the deep-fried chicken with sweet-and-sour sauce, barbecue wings, and a mildly spicy shrimp soup. The udon was considered ordinary, while the beef in soy sauce was criticized for being tough.
Dinner offerings can include beef steaks and lamb rack, with fish also cooked over charcoal.
According to an older report, the beach snack bar opens at 10:00. Besides burgers, it offered kofta with vegetables and flatbreads, baked potatoes, and bottled drinks.
Three snack bars offer quick bites including burgers, fries, well-reviewed pizza, and waffles. One is by the pool and two are closer to the beach.
Recent reports say the Italian and Chinese à la carte restaurants operate for dinner, while the outdoor fish restaurant is lunch-only. One guest reported paying US$15 for the fish à la carte restaurant.
For lunch, guests can use the beach grill restaurant. Reviews praise the grilled chicken, kofta, and beef; pasta, rice, potatoes, and greens are also available in a relaxed setting.
There is a live-cooking station where guests can choose noodles, seafood, meat, and sauces and have the dish stir-fried to order.
Beyond the standard breakfast, recent reviews mention fish in the morning—identified as salmon in one report—as well as Camembert, capers, and fresh orange juice available throughout the day. Ice cream is also mentioned.
Guests specifically rate the soups well. Reported options include broccoli cream soup and a rich seafood cream soup with a substantial amount of fish and seafood.
At lunchtime, pasta is prepared in the Sea Salt restaurant; guests recommend it as a good option.
If you miss the regular dinner, there is a late dinner service, though the selection is noticeably more limited than at the main dinner.
Guests mention the Manzoku Japanese à la carte restaurant as a decent option, and say it may serve rolls as a welcome dish. The Italian à la carte should be booked right after arrival because it fills up quickly.
According to guests, the seafood/fish à la carte restaurant may be chargeable rather than included in the standard all-inclusive package.
In the main restaurant, guests mention local dishes in addition to the usual meat and fish, including molokhia soup and fava beans. They also praise the pizza, bread, and a soft salty cheese.
Recent reports say the meat selection includes not only beef and chicken but also lamb and duck; red fish and shrimp appear roughly every 1–2 days.
More recent guests say fish is now served much more often: daily at both lunch and dinner, prepared in several different ways.
Additional seafood and fruit mentioned by guests include shrimp, mussels, and squid, and mango sometimes appears at dinner.
A recent assessment says breakfast is weaker than lunch and dinner: pancakes and porridge are fine, but the doughnuts are described as chewy, and omelettes/fried eggs as under-salted; the melon gets good feedback.
Dinner sometimes includes an Asian section, with guests mentioning udon-style noodles and spicy fish dishes.
Seafood-themed dinners and the grill can include extra seafood such as shrimp, squid, and crab, sometimes alongside several kinds of fish.
Fruit is described as seasonal and not especially abundant, but guests have seen apples, grapes, bananas, plums, dates, and figs; baklava is specifically praised among the desserts.
