They gave us many sightseeing & shopping options, & were up-front about 30% hotel surcharge for any opera/tour ticket bookings. They made great restaurant recommendations & booked our reservations (no charge). Thank you! Breakfast Buffet extensive with free á la carte items like Eggs Benedict, Omelettes, Tofu Congee, cappuccinos, waffles + omelette station.Buffet: sausage, bacon, eggssalads, smoked salmon, breads/ pastries, tropical fruit & berries; smoothieCONS: feather pillows were Standard size & too small & thin for the oversize King bed.
