Flavour restaurant not good

We stayed here for 13 nights for our honeymoon, booked the fullboard option and stayed in their Sky Studio. * Facilities - Beautiful, brand new, look exactly like the photos. We thought this is a 5 star resort but it's only a 4 star resort. * Beach - beatiful but you CAN'T swim there because there's DEAD CORALS shell everywhere, (we recommend bringing swimming shoes if you want to swim here) and there's also a smell of dead seaweed on one side of the lagoon near their restaurant Smoked. * Food on Fullboard option means eating at their FLAVOUR Restaurant 3 meals a day for 13 days - food is terrible, tastes like cheap pub food but COLD cheap pub food. On the 6th day of our stay, we made a formal complaint to their Headquarter. They took the complaint seriously and food was good for the next 4 days, we saw chefs from Seadragon & Smoked helping out the Flavour Buffet restaurant and we was happy with that. However, on the last 3 days food is BAD again. Food was luke warm/COLD again, meat was not fresh. We were disappointed that when they are not under supervision, quality of the restaurant is low but we didn't want to complain again becausewe didn't see a point. * Yoga & Fitness class - Top notch * Other restaurants - Smoked - top notch 5/5, we paid extra to eat here because we were fed up with FLAVOUR, impressed with their Angus Steak and Wagyu steak, really good food. - Seadragon - 4/5 - good live fish. Overall we enjoyed ourselves but we just expected more.
