Villa Occitana

As someone who has been to villa occitana multiple times in the last few years, I left extremely disappointed and will more than likely never go back unless it changes back to the way it once was. Previous times I have visited, most recently April 2025, before my last visit, the menu had been the same and the drinks were the same delicious cocktails. However, I’m not sure if there has been a change of ownership or what the story is but it has completely gone downhill. Previously cocktails were delicious, original to villa occitana, extremely great value for money. The cocktails myself and my boyfriend got this time, I don’t think you can even call cocktails! They were watered down, almost tasted like no alcohol in them, in miserable slim Jim glasses and charging the same price!! Absolutely awful. Next was the food…. I had hyped up this place to my boyfriend, ranting and raving about the food. Well once again we were extremely disappointed. We had a “beef salad”, that had 4 small pieces of beef and was on a bed of noodles that were soaked in what just tasted like vinegar. Next we got crispy prawns, the prawns hadn’t been cleaned, still visibly dirty on the inside! The other food we got was okay but again nothing special and nothing we would go back for. The staff were also very rude and seem incompetent. We were never asked how we were getting on, we asked for water never received it, placed on a crammed table for all our food. We had planned on staying for the evening , specifically booking on a Saturday evening where we could spend the night having some cocktails and relaxing to end our holiday. But that was far from the case, we couldn’t have gotten out of the place any quicker and instead left and went to another local restaurant were the food and drinks were much tastier and better and for a fraction of the price. I’m never a person to leave a review, but with this place that used to have such a high standard of food and drinks to go downhill so quickly in the space of two months is absolutely shocking. And I speak for myself and family and friends we will never be back unless we see huge changes back to how it used to be!
