Not the sexiest thing on a romantic holiday - but curious if others have done that yet
Go for it, we saw several people carry away a piece of fruit, yoghurt or a criossoint/muffin away each morning in their hand. If you were there, you might have seen me take an apple too, that would have been enough as a snack to keep me easily going till dinner.

I’ve been to the Conrad a couple of times and really enjoyed it. I love the secluded feel of it. I also love the reef, we usually see so much sealife right off the beach, and the mantas under the bridge, and the dining options. Since it seems this resort is quite a bit more expensive I guess I’m wondering if you thought it was better?
We are diamond and would stay on points but usually spend several thousand on excursions, dining, and spa, and possibly upgrades. Thank you
Using your own words, In my honest opinion, if you can't afford "a bit more expensive" then this probably isn't the resort for you.
