We bring breakfast cereal from home and then go by the grocery store at the resort and pick up milk, juice, and fruit. We eat a light breakfast in the room.
Then we head to the breakfast buffet in the last 1.5 hours it's open, the price is discounted then. The price varies with season but I think when we were there, it was $25 for two people. Not 100% sure about that.
Breakfast buffet has cold breakfast items, fruits, egg/omelette station, hot Mexican dishes, salad bar, deli meats, cereals, bakery items, limited hot Asian entrees, juices, a carving station, dessert bar and crepes made to order.
Every day I had fruit, scrambled egg tacos, a salad with meat from the carving station and then a huge crepe filled with all kinds of good stuff.
Then that was it, we were done eating for the day. A few times we went to other restaurants on-property but only because we felt like we were being boring to hit the buffet repeatedly. But if costs were a concern, we could have happily eaten there every day.
Not sure if this will work for them and certainly if they're interested in exploring I would not discourage that. But the resort is so nice we never feel obligated to leave it.
Hopefully they will enjoy it as much as we do!!!
