As an island resort, all guests have private villas, with private pools and beach access. So it is heaven for many travelers especially couples "in love".
So a beautiful couple asked to have a private barbecue on the beach, a service we gladly provide, a new host (we call our staff by hosts), was sent to the villa, with the barbecue and the charcoal, he did an amazing job to lit it up and took the order from the guests: steaks and jumbo shrimps.
I have to mention that this has happened maybe 2 weeks after I started... our beautiful couple asked to see the GM, so I gladly presented myself, and to both of our surprise, the guests and especially mine, our dedicated host, came back with the steak and he jumbo shrimps already cooked!!!
So here I was, almost laughing in front of an "upset" guests, actually they were cool enough to laugh to the situation too, wondering why did he bother to take 20 min to lit the coal THEN bring the food already cooked in our kitchen!
And that was my first lesson that an island is different than an regular hotel, this host was never trained, or couldn't imagine to serve raw food to the guests, he insisted on cooking it as any normal "room service" would do.
So although I offered to bring them again "raw" food to be barbecued, they decided not too, so we put the cooked meat and seafood on the barbecue grill, just for a moment to take a nice picture and "fake" a real barbecuing with a magical Arabian sea background.
