We're currently vacationing at Pirates Beach Club. We went because the reviews were so positive. On our first day, we only got dinner instead of breakfast due to a flight delay. We were delighted because the fish was delicious (not bony), along with mussels, squid, shrimp, and various other dishes. However, the next day, we realized things weren't so great, but we still had a glimmer of hope. Today is our third day, and that hope has died because the selection is limited. All the food, absolutely ALL of it, is terribly tasteless. Breakfast is poor, and both lunch and dinner offer some options, but ultimately, there's nothing left to order. Specifically, the beans are undercooked, the rice is the same, and if it's grilled, it's so overcooked it's impossible to cut or chew (chicken, turkey, etc.). The side dishes are so overcooked, you can't even look at them without crying. The national sweets are just sweet and overly sweet. All the other biscuits are terribly tasteless, and so are the cookies. The pistachio ice cream tastes like moldy bread when you eat it. The cheesecake is nothing like a normal cheesecake. Today for dinner we had tongue soup 🤦, Toli with tan, Toli with something else, terribly sour (probably some kind of super recipe), I put in a lot of greens and added rice, it's edible. Maybe you have to be gourmets, which we are not. Anyway, we laugh that at least there's a lot of dill and we won't gain weight, although we have to "catch up" with bakeries, so it could be the other way around. 😃. The à la carte restaurant is paid, we haven't seen that in a long time. The rooms are small (ours is normal, paid for by the transport company). But in the room with 4 beds, we asked to bring out the chair, the bed, they said it was impossible, that's the concept, the bedside table is opposite, under the table. Apparently, it's also a concept.
