Hit and Miss Experience

This was our second visit to Sea Breeze Beach and unfortunately it did not match our expectations after our great first holiday.
To sum it up it was hit and miss.
You could have nice food one day and terrible food the next. The service could be great one day and then the next day really poor. There was no consistency and it depended very much who was on duty. We soon learned what kind of day we would have in the restaurants and bars when we saw who was serving us.
To be honest some staff favoured the Americans and Canadians serving them ahead of us. Presumably this was to try to get a tip, which I assume they successfully achieved from our transatlantic cousins because as we all know this is normal practice for them to give in restaurants and bars. One evening a family of five who came in after us ate their starter and main before our main arrived. We chatted to other British guests who experienced the same thing.
Booking the one of the three restaurants for each evening dinner was a bind and not always easy. Halfway through the holiday they changed the venue for booking from the breakfast area to one of the other restaurants which was not always manned. The staff at breakfast could be aggressive and unfriendly. Sometimes I assumed they were tired as we had seem them late the previous evening. Some staff told us they had worked double shifts because they were short staffed. This didn't make for happy welcoming staff at times.
The menus in the restaurants were monotonous and boring and if you ate in the same restaurant for couple of nights it was the same menu. They changed a couple of dishes occasionally. We don't eat fish so that restricted our choices tremendously.
As someone that does not drink alcohol and also a diabetic my drink choices were even more restricted. The only diet mixer was coke zero which I am not keen to drink every day. No reduced calorie tonic or sodas were available. So it was water or soda and lime. There was zero alcohol rum, whisky, tequila and gin but nothing low calorie to go with them. I did ask for zero rum and diet coke and was ridiculed by the bar man for my choice. I do understand I was visiting an island famous for its rum but there was no need for the comments and disapproving face even if it was a vague attempt to be funny.
There were positives.
The room was lovely and the housekeeping staff did a great job every day.
The location of the hotel is on a beautiful beach with good opportunities for water sports if you want to use them.
Breakfast was the best meal every day with lots of choice.
The adult only pool area was nice to relax and chat to other guests.
Some staff were consistently welcoming and smiley and worked so hard.
Overall we did have a nice holiday because we made the best of it but we will not return as we felt it was not worth the money we spent.
