Food & drink prices at Zilwa Attitude
Food and beverage pricing is mixed: drinks and buffet meals are reasonably priced, but hidden charges and limited variety on select items create friction. Half-board packages appear fair, though dining flexibility is restricted.
More recent reviews (June–July 2026) flag hidden charges and limited variety, while an older review (September 2025) offers a more forgiving perspective on buffet value. This suggests a shift in guest sensitivity to resort practices or possible service changes.
What the reviews tell us
Drink prices are competitive (beer €6, Aperol €7) and described as fair by recent reviewers
Buffet meals meet guest expectations for value on half-board packages
Mandatory 15% service charge applies to all resort purchases and is a material cost surprise
Limited variety in certain categories (only one lager type, no all-day ice cream availability)
Premium dining (private island BBQ at ~€60pp) advertised but criticized as overpriced for quality offered
Zilwa Attitude's food and beverage value presents a nuanced picture. Reviewers praise the fairness of drink prices—beer at €6 and Aperol at €7—and confirm that buffet meals are decent for the rate, particularly when booked on half-board packages. However, guests encounter friction through a mandatory 15% service charge applied to all resort purchases, which is not immediately obvious upfront. Availability is also inconsistent: only one lager variety is stocked, and ice cream is unavailable throughout the day despite the all-inclusive or half-board nature. Premium dining experiences, such as the private island BBQ at nearly €60 per person, are advertised but reviewers question the menu quality relative to cost. The fairness of pricing appears contingent on staying within the buffet and standard drink offerings; deviations incur additional charges and may disappoint.
Fair prices vs. hidden charges and limited selection
UK reviewers (June–July 2026) emphasize the 15% service charge, limited lager selection, and lack of all-day ice cream availability, portraying food and beverage as less transparent and more limited than headline pricing suggests. In contrast, a German reviewer (July 2026) and Danish reviewer (July 2026) highlight competitive drink prices and satisfactory half-board value without mentioning these pain points. This may reflect different spending patterns, dining expectations, or which resort areas different guests visited. UK reviewers appear more cost-conscious and detail-oriented about hidden fees.
The evidence
Both sides shown — including dissenting reviewsFair prices for drinks! (e.g. 6 EUR Beer, 7 EUR Aperol ..)
No ice creams available through the day
Meals were decent for the price, though two nights didn't qualify me for the a la carte restaurants, the buffet was fine
