点评:It was a pleasure as always to return to the Vale spa. The facilities are great and the staff lovely - great treatments and plenty of relaxation space - I was a bit disappointed to find the heated water beds had gone but realised there were heated beds in the quiet area.
The reason this is not a 5 star review is the lunch. I had not been for some time and the last time we had a buffet lunch in the Spa area - it was fresh and delicious with lots of choice. This time it was down in the Grill bar. To be honest it was pretty grim. There was a very very limited salad selection consisting of just four items, plain quinoa, hummus with cruditees, raw kale and a caeser salad that was half a little gem lettuce with parmesan on top. The hot part of the buffet was no better - it had all obviously been sitting there for some time. The choice was a number of protein based things, quiche, chicken, salmon, soya mince, falafel. Apart from some bread there was no other carb option like potatoes, pasta or rice. No vegetable dishes either. I tried a bit of everything but in fact left most of it. The chicken was so dry I couldn't eat it as was the falafel. I have to say if I were a customer of the hotel and went to this Grill for lunch I would not be happy. My daughter said it was only just a step up from school dinners - personally I compared it to the sort of buffet you get at a service station - certainly not in a place like the Vale. Maybe we got a bad day but I would definitely consider taking my own lunch rather than have this again. Such a shame.
翻译:和往常一样,再次光临Vale水疗中心令人愉悦。设施一流,员工热情友好——护理项目很棒,休闲空间也十分宽敞——我有点失望地发现加热水床已经不在了,不过后来发现安静区还有加热水床。
之所以没给五星好评,是因为午餐。我有一段时间没来了,上次是在水疗区享用自助午餐——食材新鲜美味,选择丰富。这次是在烧烤吧用餐。说实话,午餐实在令人失望。沙拉的选择非常有限,只有四种:藜麦沙拉、鹰嘴豆泥配蔬菜条、生羽衣甘蓝,以及一份凯撒沙拉——其实就是半颗小宝石生菜,上面撒了些帕玛森芝士。热菜也好不到哪儿去——显然都放了很久。热菜主要是一些蛋白质类食物,比如乳蛋饼、鸡肉、三文鱼、素肉末和沙拉三明治。除了面包之外,没有其他碳水化合物的选择,比如土豆、意面或米饭。蔬菜也没有。我每样都尝了一点,但实际上大部分都剩了。鸡肉干得根本没法吃,沙拉三明治也是一样。说实话,如果我是这家酒店的客人,去这家烧烤店吃午饭,我肯定不会满意。我女儿说这饭菜也就比学校食堂好一点——我个人觉得它跟加油站的自助餐差不多——在威尔士谷这样的地方,这绝对不值。也许我们那天运气不好,但我以后肯定会自带午餐,而不是再来这家。真是太失望了。
