Breakfast isn’t worth adding to your booking for $30 each as if you just walk into the restaurant in the morning it’s only $24 each. Breakfast is just continental doesn’t include hot food, which is an extra $10 and barista coffee is also an extra. Thar stay was very relaxing and just what we needed.
