There was only one member of staff on duty, serving at the bar, in the restaurant and cleaning the tables and the floor! She did her best but it meant that we had to wait for 10 minutes at the reception desk on arrival, even though we had booked online. We also had wait for 10 minutes to pay before we left. The food was adequate but not so well prepared as the last time we were there a year ago.
