La Veranda — Restaurant in Cancún

The buffet style dining had a selection, but if you are a foodie you will not appreciate the poor and cheap quality of food that was served here. BREAKFAST - french toast was half raw with egg mixture still leaky on the inside, eggs were not always cooked through (even if scrambled) or custom made omelette and request to be very well done (just in case) still was raw in areas and leaky. This may be ok to some people, and maybe this is how some folks like their food (half raw) and that's great, but some have sensitive stomachs or are pregnant and cannot allow for raw or undercooked food of any-kind. LUNCH - great salad selection with lots of greens, good dressing selection, food at the hot bar was cr*p. Overcooked pasta, overcooked rice, watery weird fish fillet (and I love fish of any kind - boiled, steamed, baked, grilled, fried, etc) - this was unspeakably gross and can't even find the right words to describe it. Dessert was the same - it was pretty, but was very cheap as everything else. With one exception to the middle hot-bar/grill area where they offer freshly made sea-food rice, burritos/tacos, or grilled meat (depending on the day of the week)...this was the most edible food in the whole buffet. I really enjoyed their burritos the one night they had them, and seafood rice was also flavorful. The upside - servers were all very awesome, and the buffet had live music...

Went there first day of stay for lunch food looked good but had zero taste to it. Ended up eating fresh salads instead of mediocre at best quality food. Waited for waiter for over 20-25 minutes to close the table so we can leave. Went to the lady at the front and she told me to go back and wait until our waiter came back to us. Thinking it must have been one off type of situation I went there again after couple hours to grab a smoothie. Smoothie never arrived glass for water had a terrible smell. Ordered cappuccino and got tres leches. Your cheapest gas station level coffee looks and tastes better and tres leches was...

I went to have dinner at the restaurants Italian night on Saturdays. This was the worst Italian food I have ever eaten. The beef and octopus carpaccio had no Italian flavor at all. I asked for a fettuccine Alfredo which they made in front of me. The pasta was watery, the sauce was not creamy at all, and after asking the cook to make it twice, there was no Italian flavor at all. I have never had such a watery pasta ever cooked in front of me. The Royal sands resort should not advertise this restaurant as having an Italian night. Stick to American and...
