Google ReviewsNov 2025

Guests consistently praise the hotel's comprehensive vegan accommodations, with multiple specialized vegan dishes, clearly marked menus, and personal chef attention across all dining venues (TripAdvisor, Booking, Google, Hotels.com). Staff proactively identify vegan guests and arrange tailored meals including vegan pancakes, pizzas, sausages, and even vegan cooking classes. However, a small minority reported dairy cross-contamination issues and limited vegan hot options at night buffets, indicating occasional execution gaps despite strong overall commitment.

Some restaurants had one vegan option. For an 'ECO hotel' this is a bit of a cop out. Other restaurants & buffet more options.

Perhaps more choice of dairy free/vegan dishes or options at breakfast. I was quite limited in what I could have as most items either contained butter or milk in one form or another.

We're vegan and got served dairy at Inti asked over 3 times whether something contained it. That completely ruined one night of our stay, also a lot at Palm court contains unnecessary dairy.

Vegetarians were well catered for and both veggie and vegan food was clearly marked which was helpful. My only slight criticism with this would be the lack of veggie choices in the buffet restaurant at night - basically curry!

being vegetarian, we often struggle at all-inclusive resorts, but this was certainly not the case at Lux Grand Gaube - we very rarely had the same meal twice in our 14 days there, and if we did, it's because those dishes tasted awesome! The vegan sausages are like nothing we had ever tasted before - make sure you try these!
