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!

Service was decent - they took our orders promptly and the food came out fast enough. They provided bread to start and we all had salads as appetizers. They were fairly basic salads but we all needed some greens to balance out all the other food we've been eating. The short rib was pretty tasty on the bone and the polenta was fine, but the fried banana was a bit overcooked and hard to munch on. My husband liked his rib eye enough. The key lime pie was very tasty and I finished every bite. Overall a pretty good experience and definitely better than buffets. Always nice to see views of the ocean outside the windows as well.

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!

The Market has everything under the sun with flavors that will challenge your taste buds. From veggie only options to seafood, chicken, beef and pork. To soups, salads and mouth watering desserts! The staff here will make sure that your cup/glass is always full. If you prefer wine with your fish they bring the bottle tableside and pour to your satisfaction. Many of their wines are from Spain and other European countries. At the meals end a nice piece of cake warshed down with some of the best coffee I have ever had in any restaurant back in the USA. If your in a hurry and have things lined up like tours or music events for the day. Going to a buffet style restaurant is your best bet. The breakfast here is amazing.

For a buffet, the Market does a great job! There is always such a wide variety of food available for every meal! For breakfast there were the usual suspects....freshly made waffle & pancake station, omelette station, plus tons of American and Mexican entrees. There was a pizza oven where they warmed tacos for a taco bar at breakfast and made pizzas at lunch. There were always fresh fruit and green juices and horchata water. At dinner there are different theme nights (Italian, Steak, etc.) We walked by when they had the seafood buffet and it looked excellent with lobster, crab, and many varieties of fish. The staff served beverages and was always very helpful. Sometimes the a la carte restaurants at the Hard Rock were disappointing but you could never go wrong at the Market.

Lot's of chaos to find essentials like a table, absent coffee cups or someone to ask for assistance (and if fortunate, expected a tip). Food was mediocre and high carb (no sight of ANY type of breakfast meats on the line, including tip-option omelette bar w/ long wait). Scrambled eggs were overcooked and dry. Had decent coffee, the green Chilaquiles, fresh fruit and a pancake. To be fair, the price for my single trip was $185MXN plus I tipped my server for bringing me more coffee/milk. Could find a single plate breakfast with better selections elsewhere for that price, but probably excluding beverage. Can purchase green Chilaquiles (w/ pico) from morning vendors in PDC for $35MXN. Did enjoy sitting outside on a beautiful day and the street theater of the starting day. Most staff were very kind, but slightly worn out.
