convenient locationundercooked chickenpoor customer service

the location proved convenient. it was close to the airport. i could not hear planes. it was 150 metres from the sea.

i ate at the hotel restaurant twice. the first time, the food was average. the second time, the chicken was not cooked. it was returned to the kitchen, only to be reheated 15 minutes later. i complained to reception and received a small refund offer. the restaurant staff needs customer service training! it was expensive for average food.
