However, there are significant concerns regarding the value and variety of the breakfast offerings. Numerous guests felt that the $25 per person price tag was exorbitant for what was provided with several reviews mentioning the lack of variety and the limited options available. Some noted issues with restocking, leaving breakfast items consistently half empty. The absence of vegan and more substantial vegetarian options was also a point of contention.
