Questions about resorts?

[nrpofp]

I am trying to decide which resort to stay at for a four night stay. I am leaning towards the Hard rock or royal pacific. My question is about club level. How is the breakfast? Are there drinks and snacks available all day? I have never stayed club level before. I was considering it because they charge to use the health club which I know we( or at least my dh) will use ever day. I prefer to run outside. There is four of us 2 adult 2 kids. I was thinking between the health club, breakfast, snacks and the beer and wine we would problably get our money worth. I'm not considering replacing the apps for dinner. We will go to city walk for a good dinner. Do you think its worth the extra money? Also which resort do you recommend. I have 2 boys 8and 9. Thanks.

I can only speak to HRH club. Breakfast was fresh fruit, hard boiled eggs, cinammon rolls, mini muffins, bagels, oatmeal, yogurt, cereal, toast, oj, apple juice, coffee, milk.
Soda, water, apple juice were available pretty much all day long. Along with chips (such as sunchips) and yogurt covered pretzels.
Beer was bud light, heineken and korona with lime.
Apps in the evening and milk and cookies before bed.
Bottled water is available - just ask. Also, the staff was very good about getting us things that they had at other times of day. For example, they always got my daughter peanut butter (available at breakfast for the toast and bagels) each evening because she wanted to dip the carrots from the veggie tray in it.

We also used the shower's in the health club a few times when coming in from the pool. Easy way to get five people ready at the same time.

We definitely got our money's worth. I will add that I have a 6'2" 15 year old who eats A LOT. But, even without him, I think it would have been worth it for the sheer convenience alone. We loved it.

Just back from RPR CL. Breakfast there was cereals with milk, juice (apple and orange), oatmeal (real stuff not instant), warm cinnamon rolls with icing(in a chafing dish), fruits, various mini muffins, mini danish (yummy cheese ones), bagels, etc. Coffee is starbucks brand. Mid day snacks were various nut/snack mixes, chips and uncrustables. Dinner was usually some type of pasta type thing (lomein with chicken, pasta primavera and beef stroganoff when we were there) with a salad, dessert offerings were generally some type of cakes/pies. Sodas are coke, diet coke and sprite.
