Grayhawk,
The breakfast buffet was free and for us it saved some serious $$$ and had a pretty good selection. As fas as the pool bing heated, I'm not sure. We were there in late September and it was HOT (95 degrees w/ 95% humidity)!!! So the water felt great. We really liked the pool. It was clean, had a kiddie pool and plenty of chairs. It was nice to look at as well.
Hope this helps.
