Lesante Blu, a Member of the Leading Hotels of the World - Adults Only arvostelua

Almost a top-end resort Great service, great food and excellent views across the Ionion Sea. All the things you would expect for a high-end resort. However, a few repeating issues we encountered throughout our week: 1. Constant upselling by staff. I know I can order a bottle of wine, I want a glass. I know it can order a starter, I don’t want one. At one point was recommended a €100 bottle of wine (unprompted) which I was promised would pair best with dinner (it wouldn’t). 2. At dinner there were several skilled instrumentalists. Namely a piano and guitar duo one day, cellist the next. Unfortunately they were all made to play rehashed tracks by Ed Sheeran, Celine Dion or a number of modern artists alongside a naff backing track. By day 4 we had heard A Thousand Years played by both sets of musicians and again in a calypso lounge cover at the bar. Let the musicians play up to their skill level, they all looked bored and were clearly forced to mute their abilities. Very good week all being said (the beach bar is brilliant) but the above points did make the experience feel disingenuous in part.
