Constantin Review of Mecure Kingfisher Bay Resort

What a mixed bag. First off: The staff was always extremely nice and welcoming.
You arrive on the mainland reception, where you are asked to pay 25$ and then 20$ per night for parking, even though room is sufficiently available. We chose street parking (directly in front of the reception).
The room itself was a bit dated, but the view was nice.
The dinner in the buffet restaurant was not good. The buffet, which offers sides to the main, was ok. But the main, a steak, was completely tasteless. It was too expensive for this to happen!
During the breakfast in the main dinner buffet restaurant, I noticed there is only filtered (or is it even instant?) coffee available free of charge. In my coffee there were many solid pieces swimming around (See picture). Both the lack of offers and the quality of what is available are not in line with the claimed 4 stars. The scrambled eggs needed more cooking.
The second dinner at Seabelle was good. The food was good, the staff very attentive. Portions could have been slightly bigger (I had the open ravioli), but still a good experience.
On the second breakfast it was not really possible to find a clean table. The hotel does not have enough staff on the breakfast floor during those times. The staff was working hard, but it was just not enough.
Overall, the resort relies too much on the location and does not provide sufficient value for the money and the 4 star rating.
PS: I could have fully understood if the wifi would be slow because it is an island. But the free WiFi was only slow because there was a pay option available. If you are a 4 star hotel in that price range, WiFi has to be included.
Overall, we would not stay again. The resort needs to drastically improve the buffet restaurant (and maybe refurbish a few of the rooms) in order to make it an actual 4 star resort.
