Viajero Bet your breakfast is not $28 a piece as our hotel breakfast in Hawaii was! We did not partake of that, but walked to McDonald’s instead! SC
Viajero It was actually free with the room rental, but would have been about $10.75. It was a "Full English" plus a buffet of meats, cheeses, breads, coffees (including specialty coffees), teas, juices, cereals, etc. We would eat around 10:45 and that would set us up for the rest of the day.
