Google ReviewsSep 2025

The hotel markets dedicated vegan dining with a new restaurant called Natura featuring set menus and vegan-specific options at buffets and multiple specialty restaurants. Positive reviews dominate across Google (5/5 on-topic positive), TripAdvisor (15/19 on-topic positive), and Booking platforms, with guests consistently commending the variety, quality, and proactive staff support—including special menu arrangements and chef consultations. However, negative and mixed signals on Booking (1 negative, 1 mixed) and TripAdvisor (3 negative) highlight challenges with inconsistent buffet signage and staff support variability, with some vegan guests finding options surprisingly limited despite stated accommodations.

Beware - if you have a dietary preference or need like vegan, it's really challenging to find food. Each time I visit the buffet, I have to ask the chef to show me the vegan options

There is also a new Vegan restaurant now at Sirius however I can't comment on the food as we didn't eat there - looked to be a set menu and is run by the same chef and team as Sirius and so I'm sure it would be good.
