    Probably one of the better bets at the resort. The breakfast buffet was good. They have omelette…read morestations which is great! Big selection of an assortment of pastries and hot foods. The smoothies were terrible. Don't bother. Orange juice tastes like it's fresh squeezed. That was a nice surprise. I did go for a quick bite at dinner time one night. Taco bar is the only decent thing I had in there. At any rate, the other restaurants are all booked up most days so this is a good option.

    We're staying at the resort 8/10-8/16/20 and just had this spot as our first breakfast ... SO GOOD!…read more I had the omelet station, bacon, and some smoked salmon. The station had lots of topping choices and there were 2 going at the same time, so no waiting in line. I usually only eat turkey bacon at home, so the real bacon here was a real treat to me! And who doesn't love eating FRESH SMOKED SALMON with breakfast - what a treat! I also had a cantaloupe and pineapple plate and the fruit was so perfectly ripe, it was almost hard to pickup with a fork! My fiancé had the french toast after we heard another couple talking about it at check-in last night ... it truly didn't disappoint! You could see the granules of sugar on top mmmmhmmm! He also made his own chilaquiles ... look at that pickled onion on top - amazing! He also had this really delish candied pear that had a plop of whipped cream on top, as well as other fruits. It was the perfect level of sweet and tart mix. Of course don't forget to order your mimosas and bloody mary's to go along with your epic breakfast!

    From Chicago, had the breakfast buffet at CdL this morning. Here are my thoughts:…read more -If you like choices, this is the buffet for you. Everything you can imagine. -One of the best meals I've had in a Mexican restaurant anywhere over the past 3 months. -I had scrambled eggs and toppings like pico de gallo and onions and cilantro, with salsa verde--fresh and eggcellent! -Also had the mango, carrot, orange juice, which was out of this world! -Fresh fruit--melons, pineapple, and grapefruit--were delicious! -Tried a churro with carmel--so good! Highly recommended!

Across the distance, you can see the Flamingo sanctuary. I've eaten here a number of times for breakfast during each of my stays and had dinner on theme nights. Reservations are a must for events as they fill quickly! The breakfast buffet is SO good! The amount of food is plentiful. There are so many different stations available; salad bar, waffles/crepes/donuts/churros station, yogurts/cereals/puddings, fruit & vegetable stations, smoked salmon and fixings, cheese, egg station, Mexican specialties (quesadillas, burritos, etc), lunch meats, breads and pastries, hot plate selection and so much more for both breakfast and brunch. Can't ask for a better assortment. The selection of fruit offered is what's in season. I ate a lot of watermelon, papaya, honeydew, guava and grapefruit during my last visit. The Guava was heavenly! I already miss it.. With covid, employees take special care to serve you. They're masked on top of their respective uniforms and protective wear. Food is shielded by plexiglass barriers and only attendants at each station handles the food. Plates are provided at those stations with the exception of a patron handing theirs over, in which case it is received by an attendant, topped with choice of food and handed back. Attendants all wear gloves. Beverages are also provided by servers and whomever is assigned to your table. Ask to try their juices of the day. They're fresh and delicious! My favourites were the green juice, papaya, orange and carrot and a vegetable-fruit mix with beets. Sooooo good! Found it to be very hydrating in hot Mexican weather. There's an early bird special with a Vida card that runs from 7:15-8:15am Sundays through Thursdays where you receive a 25% discount. Averages out to $18 USD/pp and on Fridays and Saturdays, they offer a 2 for 1 breakfast special between 11am and 12pm. Walk-ins only. Capitalize on that, it's worth it! I frequently indulged during breakfast, eating a 5 course meal in one sitting and was never hungry throughout the day, even with walking all over the property. Best bang for your buck!

    Well... where should we start... we booked the stay with…read moreSuites Corazón and it included a complimentary continental breakfast so we decided to go ahead and do it not knowing that we would be actually going to a third party restaurant... The first time we got there, the service was ok, we ordered from a specific menu catered to the free breakfast. The Mexican breakfast was decent and the Ranchero was ok... we were not blown away with the food; not to mention there was no salt on the tables, just pepper, and most the time the food tasted bland. Sometimes the portions were also uneven. The second time around, the service really lacked and thereafter it just started degrading more and more.. one time we waited about 10-15 min before anyone even acknowledged us or looked at us; I get that they were understaffed, but I also work in service and no matter how understaffed you are, you always acknowledge your customers... I get that we were not really "paying" for our breakfast (it was worked into the hotel rate), however if you want to make a customer for life and commit them to spend more money at your establishment then you make the best effort to offer better service and even maybe make small talk, talk about the dinner options etc. this is a free opportunity for you, the restaurant, to win clients over and make even more money. Personally, I would not want to ever go back there even if it was just for a casual meal.

    Flank tacos were warm, tortillas were not warmed, no salsas. Guacamole was bland. Service was slow…read more Was not even busy. Did not like at all. Would not recommend. Save your money. Go to in Tacos we trust! Best food
