I wouldn’t be surprised at all that I had to come down to get food.
It seems there’s a bit of an undercurrent of poor communication in the review (despite the OP presumptively speaking Spanish). It would be a shame if the hotel has let go of their veteran staff who were very good. Curious to see what others have to say.
I've never asked a luxury hotel to bring up outside food. I have, however, asked the Concierge to source local delicacies or well known local food outlets which most will happily oblige. In that case it's delivered effortlessly to the room. I would not expect the hotel to deliver Uber Eats orders.
I also agree that rather than pay for overpriced bottles of alcohol from the hotel to source them yourself and request an ice bucket.
