    9 of us attended Breakfast with Santa at Mrs. Knott’s. It was our first time experiencing this festive tradition here and it did not disappoint. The buffet was plentiful and varied with options for the young and not-so-young. Our group was particularly fond of the fried chicken, biscuits, gravy, yogurt and fruit, and the danish. The chicken tamales also received high praise. Santa was on site, took time to chat with the kids, and gave each one of them an adorable stuffie. Professional pics were taken with an option to purchase. The entire wait staff team assigned to our table was professional and prompt; refilling drinks, clearing plates, and replenishing napkins, etc. our entire party agreed that it was a morning well spent-together and making wonderful memories

    The food at the Colisseum Poolside Grill was incredibly delicious. The Shrimp Scampi Appetizer was scrumptious. The Steak Frites was a perfect dish. The filet mignon was so tender & it melted in our mouths. The brussel sprouts were amazingly crispy. My husband had a fantastic birthday with awesome hospitality from Edward and other servers on the team. The berry birthday cake was a nice surprise and really good. We loved the scenic ocean view from the covered patio dining area; and we also enjoyed the fresh sea air. The ambiance here is so calming. You have got to try the Special Cheesecake dessert with Espresso which was a fabulous way to end our delectable dining experience!
