vegetarian optiona la carte
i booked half board because the website suggested buffet meals, but this changed on 3 nights to a la carte. the first night there was no vegan and vegetarian option on the menu. i was eventually offered a vegetable linguini that was adequate, but i expected a more substantial vegetarian option for the remaining nights.
