    Sat at the beach bar. Food was not good. Expensive for the food get. Happy our waiter was nice. Animals looked not in good condition or had enough food. Play area needs more covers because was so hot burning the kids hands. Wouldn’t recommend and definitely not going back.

    What a delightful afternoon we had at the FAT OLIVE yesterday. Our waiter Simphiwe was a delight. He recommended the brie phyllo which was awesome and my husband had the halloumi which was also very good. Sadly Simphiwe was then given an additional table of 20 people so could not attend to us as well as he did before that. He did his best. For our mains we ordered the eisbein. Unfortunately this was not the best. It was a small portion (as eisbein goes) and was over done and dry. .The sauerkraut had run out which might have helped the dryness. It was a real shame given the price was above average. I finished off the a lovely don Pedro which was lovely. The setting is beautiful and all in all we had a lovely afternoon. We will be back again.
