TL;DR
The seafood restaurant and Mexican restaurant (soups and salads) get the best reviews for taste and service. The Chinese restaurant and the battered fish dishes get mixed-to-negative feedback — often oversalted or fried in cheap oil.
Among the resort's theme restaurants: the Chinese one got poor reviews, while the Mexican restaurant was praised, especially the salads and soups. The seafood restaurant was called the tastiest of all.
At one restaurant, guests liked the tomato soup, pizza and beef; the noodle dish had no meat, so a child found it lacking. Mashed potatoes and tomatoes with cheese were rated as decent.
One guest was disappointed with a specific restaurant: the fish was oversalted, the batter was greasy from sunflower oil, and the service was noticeably worse than at the resort's "Le Bistro" restaurant.
At the hotel's lobby bar/café, according to reviews, the frappuccino no longer includes syrup under the new menu — the taste changed subtly but it's noticeably less sweet.
Half a year earlier, one of the resort's restaurants was described as excellent: fish, seafood and soups were very tasty, and service rated 5 stars. The only downside was that desserts were weaker than the rest of the menu.
Not everyone likes the seafood restaurant: one guest noted that at most it's worth ordering the seafood soup there, since the other dishes aren't cooked as well as they used to be.
