Maybe it's different in the summer vs winter? Breakfast was part of the stay package. It wasn't a cheap continental breakfast, they went all out. It was a resort. The price staying here was comparable was to airbnbs in the area. This was so much more worth it. Complimentary drinks at the bar, valet and access to the spa and pools were also included.
