The hotel noticeably improved its food: chicken is now served daily, lamb was offered today, watermelons got better, and nectarines were added to the spread.
Food improved — daily chicken, lamb, nectarines
A hotel marketed as 5-star fell short of even 4-star food quality. Meat was nearly absent — turkey and chicken were stewed with vegetables and hard to find among the sides. Non-meat eaters may have a better experience.
5-star hotel — food below 4-star level
Food was decent overall: red fish was served twice over 8 days, along with beef, beef and lamb liver. Chicken was available daily. Dishes were consistently replenished — no one went hungry even late in the serving period. Compared to Grand Miramor in Kemer where food ran out last year, this was noticeably better.

Food was average — nothing special but edible. The main complaint was poor dishwashing: glasses in the evening were not properly cleaned, with one arriving with lipstick marks. Acceptable for the price on a short 5-day stay, but not worth returning to.
Dirty glasses in the evening — common complaint
In November, at the end of the season, food was quite decent: enough meat, and fresh pomegranate stood out. The chef did a good job. Notably high-quality watermelons were a pleasant surprise for late season.
November — end of season, but food still decent
