There comes a point, and having the only restaurant closed in the morning for breakfast IMO would be a good example IMO, where you have to ask if they are misleading their customers as to the facilities on offer.

If one were stopping on a cheap 3* package stay at the Costa Del Wherever and found advertised facilities closed many in the UK would be beating a path to their local trading standards department.

I notice from the RC Georgetown website they are advertising that their restaurant is open for breakfast.
