All views are my own- I have tried to give an honest account of my experiences of this school…read more Last October, I was bought the VGCA cheese making course as a gift, along with a one day Central American course and the pastry course which were both upsold after the time of booking. The one day Central American course was fun, although cooking with Textured Soya Protein took me back to the early days of veganism in the 1980s. At the end of the day, i was taken aside and told that the cheese course had been cancelled, and the mix-up in telling me was due to their business manager (Torilynn) had suddenly walked out, leaving their booking system in chaos. I later found out that others there had been notified of the cancellation over 2 weeks before. Had we been told at the time of the cancellation, we would not have done the other 2 courses, which I think they knew- an example of them deliberately misleading us. We had to wait a considerable length of time for the refund to appear in the gifter's bank account, and there wireman emails chasing the money. Later, some other students were told the course was cancelled due to the over use of coconut oil, and they were redesigning it to launch in the New Year. (Think that was to do with Skye Michael Conroy having designed the course, and then some sort of ensuing falling out.) The pastry course was 'just a bit of fun'- we used soy, refined sugar, margarine and store bought pastry in our recipes. There was a 25% drop out rate- 2 students were expecting more of a raw pastry course. At the end of the 4 days, we were told there would be a big party, with up to 75 people attending. Tickets were sold to the event at €5- another money spinner. In the end, we had to go out into the market to give away the cakes, as about 5 people turned up. There were mixed messages even regarding this, as this was a 'one off opportunity', with another tutor telling us 'we do this all the time.' I met some students who had attended the Level 1 course, previously. There was a high degree of disgruntlement over varying course fees, a 'hell of a lot of washing up', a promise of industry experts being invited to critique their final dishes (one student reported that the only people who showed up were the cleaners) and just general unease over the course. One student ended up in tears, another with a verbal warning... I was later accused of being a spy, trying to steal their ideas, and was subsequently banned from their recipe dashboard. I was badmouthed and criticised to my new employer, which could have cost me my job. I used flattery to eventually gain an apology- saying that I found the school's tutors 'inspirational.' I did not, but it worked and I got my apology. I also made it clear that no-one from the school should ever contact me again, so if this happens now, as a consequence of this review, it will be reported to the Police as harassment. If you want to learn how to make 'bacon' out of banana skins, this is the school for you. Me, I have been left with a very bitter taste in my mouth, and am horrified at the number of other former students with similar experiences. AVOID.

I was struggling to find something other than the usual beach restaurants on the main drag that…read moreserve "paella, tapas, Spanish specialties, burgers, and pizza," and Royal Beach, certainly seemed a cut above the rest. I loved that it's located right on the beach, rather than the street a block down It reminded me of the lounges in Bali where you have the option of either eating in a restaurant-style atmosphere, or lounging on the deck while people bring you delicious food and cocktails. Although the chef has a Michelin star, prices were quite reasonable. I had a few glasses of their tasty Mallorcan white wine. I started off with a bread basket and olives. The olives were amazing, not too salty or overpowering. The bread, though not free, was very good, and it came with a red pepper puree and an aioli. The fact that they gave me a true aioli rather than just a garlic-flavored mayonnaise let me know that this was a quality restaurant with integrity. For my meal, I had some grilled vegetables with black truffle and a beetroot risotto with Mallorcan cheese and candied nuts. The vegetables had good flavor, but it would have been much better if they hadn't included endives and fennel, which were overpowering and bitter. The beet risotto was very good and had just the right amount of very strong cheese on it. The portion was quite large, and I could have easily shared it. For dessert, at the server's request, I had their daily special, a spongecake with some kind of granita-type ice on it. It wasn't bad, but I wish I'd gone for the goat cheese ice cream instead. Service was excellent. Overall, Royal Beach is a wonderful choice if you're in the Alcudia/Playa de Muro area.

I came here with two other people on a Tuesday for lunch around noon. I wanted to try paella for…read morethe first time and this place had an individual portion size, which from what I could see was quite rare. Our server was kind and answered our many questions about the food, since we wanted to choose more authentic items. The outdoor seating was in the shade which helped with the heat from the 95F weather, but we would've liked some more fans around. The food quality varied quite a bit. The paella was the best of it all. The rice was perfectly cooked, not too overdone, and the shellfish in it was delicious. The San Peter fish fillet was extremely over-salted, and with needing to pay for water (as one does in Europe), it was definitely not the best. There was another Mallorcan dish we ordered that I can't remember the name of but is in the photos and consisted of sautéed veggies and seafood; this one was okay and flavored well but unexciting compared to the paella. Definitely recommend the paella if you come here. The prices of the food was all quite reasonable and we paid €55 for three dishes and three waters. Definitely more reasonable compared to many restaurants on the pier. TLDR: Definitely recommend this place due to the nice service and well-priced food! Definitely recommend the paella!

It has such a beautiful view. We ended up staying here for two hours, partly because the service was pretty slow, but other than that it was because we enjoyed ourselves so much that we didn't realise how long we had been there. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area that is looking for a nice relaxing place to drink.

Consider going here if you dont have anything to do, have a lousy hotel pool, or just wanna chill in the sun for a day. Weekends brings DJs and dayparties, weekdays and off season provides a more laidback style with less ppl and softer music. Food is top class! Had their Caesar salad followed by some tenderloin for lunch, and it was unsuspectingly good for not being branded as a restaurant. This place is a really classy one including the prime location virtually on the water, to the service and sunbeds provided. I have yet to experience a similar venue before, and after further investigation i found out that they have several spots around Europe. And that the concept actually was founded and run by a Swede, which doesnt make the story worse. Go here to get that great feeling that extends beyond your vacation, and even though its not the cheapest place on earth, you will definitely get value for spending your hard-earned cash!
