That was not the case before, and there were people getting bills for food by the pool on their day of departure.

In terms of the new menu - would highly recommend the shrimp tacos on the pool menu (those were great). For dinner, the pasta is rich but delicious. Fish dishes were great too - especially the char. The amazing Flannery steak that was on the menu is gone and replaced with a short rib, which was really disappointing. Breakfast menu is the same. Verve coffee and Rishi tea has now been replaced by La Colombe.
I wonder how long it’ll be before they transition to a regular “pay for everything” hotel.
