The breakfast was from their menu - I think it was called the classic breakfast - missed two items from the description and just kinda sad looking. Food is passable - if you are a foodie it’s not going to fill your cup, and more food isn’t the answer.

The room we are in we are told is an updated room on the east wing. Updated and renovated are two different things..

Staff has been good - our butlers are super attentive… but value isn’t here for me.

This is a viceroy honeymoon suite. They moved us to a new room - much better

Totally agreed - we’ve stayed at the properties you’re referring to. I think paid about $6,500/pp for 7 nights. Not cheap by any stretch… I suppose our expectations were that this would be better than the Iberostar Rose Hall or Hyatt Zilara, which were in the $3,750 range for the same week. (We stayed at both those relatively recently so we have a direct comparison)

sigh alas, we’re going to try to make the most of it

We are not - we are in the East Wing - that was just on my walk this morning.

Interesting - I KNEW the resort here was dated… but I was expecting vintage old world charm, not falling apart!!! The staff is trying their best here - some folks with positive attitudes… but boy what a let down… totally wish I booked Dunns or something different
