Revisited hotel after a couple of years absence and found standards are slipping.Food,Accommodation & Location still 1st class,renovation of rooms ongoing.
Standards: Gentlemen wearing shorts(not dress shorts) in restaurant on evening when specifically says no shorts.
Entertainment: Last visit it had best acts from Majorca appearing every night,this time,One good & one half decent act.
The entertainment team were more bothered about bingo and quizzes in the evening and the dozen veterans who played pool games during the day.I accept they have a hard task as most of the holiday makers were 75+ and had visited the hotel many times so were not interested in anything after 9.00pm,sorry but they will sit through any rubbish.The people who did want to enjoy themselves and dance and listen to music were not encouraged in anyway,no or very little ballroom dancing early in night,singers not getting past 1964 in their list,the only two nights with audience participation were Motown Mania and Mark Ritchie 70s show.
At times it was like old Majorca,Flamenco dancers,Magician,Singers who could not sing and to top it off the two reps were the entertainment on the Saturday night,Can't Sing,Dance,heard them doing a practice on afternoon and knew I was going out for the night,(great decision by others reactions).
As the hotel has that many repeat visitors and there age group is getting older I feel the Hotel is letting things slide a little and must cater for all guests,a lot of us are near 70 but we do like to enjoy ourselves and do like music post 1964.
