I love staying at the colonial club and as a Ken‘s local do so quite often I was so disappointed in the food and beverage service. We stayed two nights. The breakfast staff were amazing. The night staff very poor English and understanding of menus drinks and service. It wasn’t the shortage of staff to French girls on the front showed appalling service. Speaking in their own language, rude There was no leadership tables were cleared not wiped. Very disappointing.
