    The food was outstanding but the service was horrible! 45 minutes to get drinks. And it was nit crowded. When we asked about the delay, our waiter admitted the order did not get put in. Gour tables came in after us and were served drinks and meals long before we were served. The attitude of the wait staff and management was border line rude. NO one asked how our meal was, and when we asked the manager for normal condiments, she asked if we had ordered ( ketchup, mayonnaise and hot sauce) and ignored us, so we did without. As stated, it was not that crowded, numerous other tables were served ahead of us, and we were very polite to everyone. Very disappointing!

    Waited 80 minutes for our food. No water was topped up during our whole time there. The lady who served us was lovely and very polite but rushed off her feet!

    We have visited Calma Besch Club many times and had a great experience all round. On this occasion we left having waited 1 hr 20 mins for food as the service was so slow. Very disappointed as it was a celebration meal with my husband for his birthday.

    My friend and I came in for lunch, I was able to make a reservation and we got seated inside. It was a lovely day out, the restaurant seemed decently busy. Zack took care of us (Sorry if I spelled that wrong) and he was excellent. He was really nice, helped us choose some items, brought us our drinks in good time, and also did proper quality checks after serving us drinks or food, which is so important! Unfortunately, we couldn't get a couple of beach chairs after lunch, as they were rammed with tourists, but that's fine, we always expect this during high season. So we took off down the road back to our usual spot. We also got the beginning set from a fella playing steelpan, which was really lovely. Calma always has great live music when we go! I also have to mention the hostess who sat us was so pleasant too, everyone was in such a great mood and is always something so important when dining in a restaurant! Thanks to the team at Calma, see yas again soon!

    This was our 2nd visit to Calma as the first one had issues with the food which the management sorted out very well. We booked for lunch and had the lovely bar table overlooking the beach which has fantastic views. After being given the menus we had to ask twice to order drinks and food. The restaurant was not busy, only 3 other tables were occupied. Food and drinks were good but took absolutely ages to arrive. I noticed that the serving staff were congregated at the desk at the entrance and they were all having a lovely chat together whilst diners were trying to catch their attention. It used to be a really efficient and friendly place when it first opened so it's disappointing to see it turn into, yet another, half-hearted operation. If you are sitting on the beach chairs the servers are super efficient there.

    Zach was an awesome server. Great experience. We are 3 solo travellers that go out for dinner often. We very much appreciate the option to do separate bills. We avoid places that won’t offer this. It’s greatly appreciated.
