At Amadeus Resto Bar, reviews show a mix of highs and lows: check-in staff are praised, breakfast is often excellent, and housekeepers are highlighted as great, while a nighttime receptionist is described as rude and dining room service as uneven. Maintenance and cleanliness concerns appear, including a renovated room with a shower head that fell off, a toothpick on the floor, and questions about cleaning between guests, plus issues like overchlorinated hot tubs and questionable pool and spa water. The dining experience varies from restrictive and disappointing dinners to very good breakfasts and pizzas that are decent; prices are frequently noted as high for the quality presented, with some complaints about value and portions. Several reviews report deterioration in the property, dirty carpets in rooms, missing hand soap, patio doors that barely let light through, and confusing hours that can leave guests surprised by closures. Attitudes and attention from staff are inconsistent, with some servers being friendly while others seem distracted or unresponsive, and some comments that the ambiance and service quality have declined from past visits, even though others still call Amadeus Resto Bar an excellent resto bar on certain occasions.View restaurant profile
