ABOUT
B R E A K F A S T
A full, tasty and nutritious sit-down breakfast is served
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday between 8:30-8:45 a.m.
And . . .
A less elaborate yet satisfying picnic-style breakfast
is provided in guestrooms the prior evening
for Wednesday and Sunday mornings.
- BENEFIT -
This schedule allows guests, particularly those staying four or more days,
increased flexibility on the picnic-style breakfast days.
With a portion of important morning time freed up on these two days
it is possible, if desired, to get out early for the day's activities or just sleep in . . .
thus creating a more relaxing, fulfilling and versatile vacation overall.
- OFF SEASON EXCEPTION -
During the Off Season, a full sit-down breakfast is served every morning
between 8:45-9:00 a.m.
