⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Culinary Experience at Tamassa Resort – Thanks to Chef Edinho and Chef Pravesh! Our stay at Tamassa Resort was made truly unforgettable by the incredible dining experience led by Chef Jean Edinho and Chef Pravesh. From the very first meal, both chefs went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and well taken care of. Chef Edinho impressed us with his warmth, attention to detail, and the most delicious freshly baked pastries He was always present, greeting guests with a smile and ensuring everyone was happy with their meals. What stood out most was how he personally checked in on dietary preferences and offered gluten-free or special options without hesitation. His passion for food and hospitality truly shines through. Chef Pravesh deserves equal praise for his mouthwatering desserts and friendly personality. His sweet creations were both beautifully presented and full of flavour. He also connected wonderfully with everyone , taking time to make them feel special every day. It’s rare to see such genuine kindness and enthusiasm in a busy resort environment, but both chefs make it feel effortless. The overall food at Tamassa is excellent — from the breakfast buffets to themed dinners, everything was fresh, diverse, and well-prepared. The resort’s lively yet relaxed atmosphere pairs perfectly with the quality of the cuisine. Highly recommended Read less
