"Accommodation highly recommendable, neat and clean and can cafe with its delicious pizza."

Pitches with a power point are particularly nice, tidy, and are continuously cleaned. Ambulance facilities are painfully neat and clean. Activities during our stay were good, with Maddy keeping the holidaymakers busy. Putt Putt courts and cafe are very neat. Best pizzas. However, the Quenna Restaurant - Bistro is a different story. Wait 2.5 hours for a "toasted" bun. The pasta "specials (-50%) are trained with full price. If we didn't point it out to the waiter, I believe he didn't know about it. We are told that it takes a little longer because als is served fresh . Everything sure except the old oily chips that we finally got. No cutlery on the tables. Wait 10 min and then go and ask the kitchen yourself. While the managers are standing there, my table walks past and I ask him can we order from him. He then says no, he is not our waiter and cannot help. I ask the managers for help, to which she tells the waiter to help. He reckons then he never said he could doesn't help (behind the managers back). Sorry that the extremely poor service and unprofessional service of the bistro spoiled our last night at the resort. Our waiter also informed us that he is the waiter and chef, hence the reason for the long wait for food and drinks.Still I can manage the resort and thank every worker there for the hard work to keep the resort so neat and clean. You guys are great. (Bistro excluded. Your service is useless and unprofessional). Conclusion: Accommodation highly recommendable, neat and clean and can support cafe with its delicious pizza. If you want to experience extremely poor service and want to get your blood pumping, go "treat" yourself and loved ones at the bistro.
