TL;DR
Food is simple but decent — meat/fish/vegetables, though in-room coffee is usually instant. Alcohol is served at the lobby bar or near the restaurant entrance. Grab beach sunbeds by 8am, but poolside loungers stay available all day.
Pools and beach/sea access are open until 19:00. Food is fine overall, even a picky child can be fed easily.
Beer at the resort is decent, but it's better to bring your own hard alcohol from duty-free. The sea gets deep very close to the shore.
To get a good meal at the restaurant, it's recommended to arrive a bit earlier and be more assertive at the buffet line.
Food overall is good; for alcohol head to the lobby bar or the area outside near the restaurant rather than the restaurant itself. Sea conditions vary day to day. Rooms are a bit old but cleaning is solid.
Good option for a relaxed beach stay without focusing on alcohol — food is simple: meat or fish with vegetables. Downside: in-room coffee is instant, not fresh-brewed.
Soup is available after midnight, but it's worth packing some snacks just in case. Staff give change for payments, but breaking large bills can be tricky. Beach sunbeds fill up fast — grab one by 8am, though poolside loungers stay free most of the day.
