    Wide range of food choices. Would prefer seafood to not be as watery but still tasty. Value for money!

    The food for its price was an upset. I've dined at water gardens hotel numerous times and they have more of a variety for less the amount we pay. Dessert selection was shocking. The service, however was amazing. Tables were cleared almost instantly.

    Sanctuary Lakes Hotel Buffet is one of very few Buffet’s around. The service is great, the atmosphere is family oriented. The food is great, good variety, always freshly cooked and brought straight out to replace anything that is running low. My Grandkids love it, it’s their favourite place to eat.

    The food overall is good quality, and good for what you pay for. Usually pretty good atmosphere and the service from the staff is very good. Unfortunately the chicken and mushroom dish did not agree with my stomach, and the chicken tasted rather mushy and unusual for chicken.
