Reviews
Also for breakfast couldnt tell me if 16 year olds are kids or adults . Bar went to get food at 2.20 saw menu downstairs ,no body was interested in serving us then someone asked from the bar were we okay had said teenagers wanted pasta dishes and i would have curry but was told that was dinner and not available til 3.30pm. We had just arrived were going to a match and wanted to eat early and relax before going.
We went elsewhere to eat but very hard to get a dinner dish at that time by the looks of things . Very disappointed overall in food around the area.
Room was lovely only thing was toilet was dirty down the side.
That being said, I can see why some folks would find it delightful, the room was quite large and the pool was a nice treat.
All in all not a winner for me.
Breakfast and dinner were delicious, and the staff were helpful and friendly.
Highly recommended.

The girl who actually served us was great, and I have no issues whatsoever with her. She was attentive, came over to let us know there was going to be a delay on one of the things we ordered, left us alone when it was appropriate, she was fantastic. However.
We arrived with no reservation on a Friday evening and, as such, we were seated where they could fit us - that's totally understandable and we weren't looking for anything special so we didn't mind sitting next to the servers' station. I was fully expecting to be turned away in fact, so I was pretty grateful to be seated at all. What we DID mind, was that one of the male servers apparently couldn't be bothered taking one step forward and standing in front of the shelf to take down menus, and insisted on standing to my right, reaching over me and our table, and taking the menus from the shelf to my left. Any restaurant server worth his or her salt (and really, any person if they have any common sense) knows that you NEVER reach over a customer unless it absolutely can't be helped, but this guy doesn't seem to have been taught that. Nor did he seem to mind that his groin was at my head height while he was leaning over me. It made me extremely uncomfortable and, while I would definitely go back to Milanos (and get another portion of that bundt cake) I think I'd be heading across the river to their Clarion Quay branch where hopefully all of the staff have been taught basic manners.
The problems were slow service and forgetful staff. My friend ordered a second drink during dinner, 15 minutes later the waiter passed our table and asked if she still wanted it as he had forgotten about it. We were staying for dessert and both ordered at the same time, 5 minutes later my friend's arrived and I was informed they were out of what I wanted. I changed my order and 10 minutes later what I changed to finally showed up, burnt.
Overall not a good experience.
