Really enjoyed our meal at blu beach club. The setting is beautiful overlooking the harbour and the beach with lots of tables outside. Definitely book in advance as it was very busy when we visited!

The food was absolutely delicious we had the sushi platter and all the starters we tasted were great including the tuna, the halloumi, and the calamari. This place does cater well for gluten-free however the staff did seem a little bit unsure when they brought out the meal about whether the burger bun was gluten-free it turned out it was, however they stated that the chips were not gluten-free and then brought them out anyway they did rectify this quickly but do think they probably need to be trained a little better on allergens as a friend is coeliac and those chips could’ve been a serious issue !!!!

My main problem with this place is the service. The service wasn’t great, generally quite slow and found that the waiters were not that friendly. We ended up having a bit of a disagreement with the staff because the menu advertises ‘bottomless sangria’ (none of the other drinks say bottomless).

Every place I have ever been bottomless means they will just keep refilling for free, however they claimed that bottomless just means they will come and top up the drink which makes it just like any other drink on the menu. We felt this was very misleading and it wasn’t until we had ordered FOUR GLASSES each that we were told that it was just pay per glass (at €8 each which is extortionate prices for small glasses).

It was very clear that this is a con to get you to buy more drinks not understanding what you’re really paying for. We refused to pay for the remaining drinks at which point the waiter pretended to phone his manager and came back and said that we would still have to pay. Eventually we went backwards and forwards so much and the problem was rectified however this took about half an hour and the staff were pretty grumpy about it even though it was their mistake. we were then told that this is how ‘fine dining works’ in a very patronising way! We weren’t happy to be insinuated that we do not know what fine dining means also this restaurant is not a fine dining place.

Just watch out for this if you go as this is definitely a rip-off. It kind of dampened the atmosphere as the restaurant itself is beautiful and so is the food. Really need to work on the customer service although we do appreciate them taking his drinks off the bill for us eventually!
