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!

Not all areas or employees deserve a 2, but hear me out. The front desk guys are a boys club. They…read morewill demean you, and if you press them, you will get a manager, unfortunately he's part of the boys club. After 42 years in management, trust me, this management staff needs a serious overhaul. I'm sure with competent management, the employees will be happier and more engaging. They will make it clear that your concerns are not their concerns. The beach is useless, full of seaweed, dirty brown, smelly, water. On that note, the resort water seems to be desalination water from the aforementioned seaweed infested water, and it permeates the smell in the water in the rooms. So the shower is slightly unpleasant, and the bedding doesn't smell fresh. There are rules for the pools, but no one enforces them. No idea where the lifeguards are, but it's certainly not in their chairs. It seems dinner reservation times are possibly tied to your status color. So I guess the more you spend the better you get. It seems people with the butlers and all are certainly having a different experience. The website says basic WiFi included, but that it also evidently tied to status. $60 per device per week. Or you can sell your sole to the vacation club presentation and get your WiFi refunded. But you'll probably realize afterwards the $120 would have been a better deal. Funny thing is, 1 mile away in Puerto Morelos, our cellular service worked fine. We stayed in Ventus, the newest hotel on property, the room was very nice with a great view. They tried to sell us an upgraded room for an additional $50 day, using a picture that wasn't even from our room. Glad we didn't fall for that. I'll say the food was very good overall, as were the beverages.

After checking out the resort grounds, we arrived at this place just in time for dinner when it…read moreopened up around 6pm Cancún time. As this was our first meal in Mexico, we just wanted to try the buffet with an international flair. Our waiter was Angel who attended us very well. Each section was well posted such as from the grill, cold cuts, healthy corner etc. The food was warm and had a variety. Their breaded chicken were the tenderest ever eaten. One needs to be not careful here as your weight will be in danger .

This place is in the Breathless Resort. It's an open buffet style with exceptional service! If you…read morehave allergies such as I do they take very good care of you! Anything you don't see you can ask and they try hard to get it for you. Example: I almost cried when I tasted the beef broth soup as it was exactly like my grandmothers soup, only thing missing was a few slices of avocado. I asked if they had and the waiter said I'll see what I can do. Disappeared through a wooden door wall. Soon he shows up with a whole avocado sliced evenly and spread on the plate! Unfortunately, my allergies have limited me to many things they had at this buffet but my husband said all he tasted was good. We have mainly been to Spoon for breakfast and one dinner. They also have a juice bar which has been great to get my juices as I make them at home. You tell them what to put in it and they blend it up for you!!! Love it!!! Our package is all inclusive so unaware of cost if not all inclusive. Hubby says the coffee is very good!

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!
