Breakfast is not included in every booking so just be aware of that. The buffet breakfast was a little on the expensive side for my liking. I believe it was $40 per person. My wife and I chose to order from the a la carte menu and that was more reasonable in my estimation. The food was delicious don't get me wrong and the staff were great!
