drinks? food? club level

[joloco]

if you stay club level.....
-continental bfst served for a couple hours in am?
-finger foods in evening for a couple hours about 5ish?
-water/soda/coffee all day?
-beer / wine ....just during coctail hour or all night?
-cookies..... what time? do they offer chips?

any other benifits?
trying to figure out if we can take advantage of snacks or if we would miss them most days.
thanks.

hello

we stayed club in may at RPR;

the club breakfast consited of fresh fruit,(watermelon, grapes, pineapple, kiwi, cantalope, honeydew) croisants, bagels, pastries, granola, bread (toaster avail) different spreads for bread and bagels,(cream cheese, mango cheese, butter) hot sweet rolls (delicious), little boxes of cereals, ( chocolate krispies, captain crunch, fruit loops, special k, corn flakes....) apple & orange juice in pitchers, variety of teas, coffee (kinda strong)
little bottles of sprite, coke, diet coke, carbonated water, plastic bottles of water- breakfast from 7am-10:30am

they usually had large fresh cookies(macadamian, chocolate chip, peanut butter, raisin...) out with milk and little bags of chips in the afternoon (2-4)

from 5 to 7 you could get free white, red or blush wine, miller, bud, miller lite, bud lite, corona...- they handed out the drinks to you- you just couldn't go and help yourself like you could with the soft drinks- you could also order specialty drinks for $5.00, a lot cheaper then the Bula bar which is almost $10 per drink!!!

from 5 to 7 there was always fresh fruit, crackers, cheeses, soft drinks, and each of our 7 nites there was a different main dish:
chicken fingers, angel hair noodles with scallops, cold noodles and chicken, sticks with beef and spring egg rolls, anti pasta salad (no meat)

each evening from 8 to 9:30 they put out fancy cakes, coffee cheese cake, raspberry cheese cake, fresh cookies, fancy scons- fresh fruit (cakes changed nightly)

i really enjoyed the convience of the club room especially for breakfast- but the kids and hubby really didn't care for most of the food- except for the cookies and the chicken fingers
they felt the food was too exotic & i could see their point

i paid $60 extra a nite to stay club level- would i do it again? yeah, if i won the lottery- i think even though the easy accessibility factor for food made a big difference- i would rather spend the extra money on dinners at restaurants

what do you mean too exotic?

Like spicy, or just different than what they usually have?

I'm debating to take my chances and ask for it at checkin. I'm not sure, but it sure would be nice.

exotic? not really. actually as described

Food might be different than you would expect or want, but is was not exotic.

We're Club room next week afrer having club in 2003 on an upgrade from manager (with 1st day of upgrade free) when our pool view room was not ready- actually I believe it got trashed beyond repair but who know. We wound up with Club Pool View - can't remember room number but was two ot three doors down from the club room on the pool side right in front of the lights.

For us it is worth it. If you don't use the club room, it is probably a waste of money. But you can save $10-$15 on b'fast, $5 on each beer in afternoon and more on water/ice cream/cookies.

Understand that lunch has been discontinued.
