Most of the food and drinks were expensive and we only had lunch a few times. Breakfast buffet was $55 per person after you factor in tax and small tip. I think drinks were $20 but not sure. We took easy bus in front of hotel going north to Chedtaui Selecto and stocked up on yoghurt, fruits and pasties for breakfast and went out for dinner every night. I would assume at least $350 per day if we ate all our meals at resort. Bring extra Nespresso pods and save on coffee if you are big coffee drinkers. They give you 4 free pods per day plus more if you ask. Great Nespresso machine in room. Upgrading to Club room might take care of most meals, They were sold out while we were there, front desk said cost would be extra $200 per night per room.

Nope

Glendavista is correct. Seafront rooms have balconies directly parallel to the ocean while Seaview rooms are situated sideways of the view of the ocean. All rooms though with sea facing rooms have views of the water.

Renovations have been going on all year. I know the 8th floor was renovated- )club floor…)
