Freshest strong quotes first — same picker as the best-of cardAs a vegan myself, I accidentally chose a salad that had fish in it…
TripAdvisor guests highlighted delicious vegan selections and proactive staff service, with one noting "ample varieties" across dietary categories. However, mixed reviews acknowledged that while staff are willing to accommodate special requests, buffet vegan options are comparatively limited, labeling is unclear, and staff understanding of vegan requirements varies. One Google review specifically flagged mislabeled items containing fish and requested clearer vegan identification and healthier prepared options.

As a vegan myself, I accidentally chose a salad that had fish in it as nothing was marked. Also, for food, would love to see a few healthier options like homemade peanut butter
The food is delicious vegan, veg and bakery sweet options are very delicious

Our travel agent had notified the hotel beforehand that we were vegan and the head chef met us when we checked in to discuss our diet. But I think something got lost in translation because there weren't really too many vegan options outside of Air (the buffett). Of course when we pointed this out, the staff were more than willing to prepare anything we wanted but seemed to not really understand what vegan meant.
There are a lot of different options including vegans, eggless, Indian etc. There were ample verities in each category.
Loved being able to have so much vegetarian and vegan choices.
Mohamed, who looked after us the whole week there, was fantastic. He bought out vegan food without us having to ask for it and always made sure we'd had enough to eat. If you're not vegan then there's plenty of options at the buffet, but if you are, options are quite limited.
