A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

We had heard from someone at dinner when we went to 2 Fools and a Bull that the Hyatt had warm donuts at brunch. Sold. We immediately made reservations. Turns out, that’s not true – no warm donuts to be found.

They Hyatt has a great property, very picturesque. Ruinas del Mar over looks a man made pool where a family of black swans live. They have a man singing and playing guitar while you eat, crooning slow jams from Extreme and Phil Collins.

No one is sitting outside, the few people here prefer the shade.

Breakfast will run you  $51 per person and allows you to sit for 2 hours.

The wait service seems to be on “island time”, even though there are three servers to help us, we can’t seem to get a cup of coffee or a refill on our  complimentary champagne/mimosa.

Creme Brulee.

A large assortment of salad.

They have someone making made to order omelette which was pretty delicious.

There are a large amount of cakes to choose from.

The “kids table” boasts candy covered cupcakes.

The kids table also has these fun cookies.

Desserts in Aruba are usually a bit of a miss for me, but we did our due diligence and tried a fair amount of them.

Everything is plated/presented nicely.

There is also a station with waffles, pizza, and pasta. If you look closely at the pizza on the left, you can see that there is still a label on the pepper with the barcode. All in all the brunch was ok – nothing to write home about. But we were on vacation and it was nice to eat in a restaurant with good scenery and gave us a break from our regular breakfast from Starbucks.
