TL;DR
Reviews vary widely: buffet quality depends heavily on the specific hotel and even the day — some report a clean, varied spread, while others complain of poor food quality and dirty glassware.
One traveler reported the food was almost inedible, low-quality ingredients, and they mostly ate watermelon for two days, with something edible sometimes found at the grill in the evening. Glasses in the restaurant were dirty, and only tea bags were available (no proper tea). Their upgraded 3-room suite had 2 of 3 AC units broken, most outlets not working, and an electrician was called twice in 2 days. Sunbeds were reserved with towels from 6am all day.
At a hotel-anniversary dinner there was a big spread: sushi, salted and smoked salmon, tacos, doner, fruit-shaped desserts, and grilled meat and salmon. However, the guest noted regular daily meals tasted better, and the special dinner was chaotic with crowds grabbing food (kids even dropped pastries on the floor).
During an 11-day stay in June, food was plentiful for everyone, the buffet selection was good and clean, with staff constantly cleaning. The downside: seafood was served only once (found out too late) and fish dishes felt repetitive, though nobody went hungry.
