Despite positive feedback on the food quality, a common concern is the scarcity of breakfast options and the lack of inclusivity in the stay packages, prompting some guests to seek alternatives outside of the resort. Overall, while the breakfast itself garners appreciation for its taste and presentation, the logistics surrounding availability and cost have led to mixed experiences for visitors.
