What public traveller reports say

Summarized in our own words from public sources we read (October 2026). Each point is one or a few travellers' experience, not a statistic.

positive · breakfast and restaurants
Celiac reviewers praise staff who ask about allergies before seating, GF bread, pasta, tacos and ice cream, and no symptoms over their stay; pool staff were less knowledgeable than restaurant staff.
mixed · breakfast
At the breakfast buffet one celiac went first thing in the morning to use the GF toaster after seeing guests misuse it; another had an omelette made right in front of her with fresh utensils.
negative · breakfast and restaurants
Two symptomatic celiacs reported cross-contamination, one "burnt daily", another with stomach aches all week; they felt staff did not automatically use clean cooktops or dedicated fryers.
