Review of Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Cal...

Have to take exception with the pricing for meals....

Have to take exception with the pricing for meals. We invited our Italian in laws, who own an apartment in Sardinia, for lunch just after arriving. It was a sumptuous buffet- made to order items included. At 110 euros drinks or wine not included, it was pricey but perhaps not outrageous. But when we got the bill, we discovered 110 euros was the price for people staying at the hotel. Our 4 guests were charged double- 220 euros each not including beverages- for lunch! We questioned the waiter with no success. At checkout, we complained to the desk clerk. He basically shrugged and did nothing. Needless to say, we did not invite our family there again. The dinner buffet is 220 euros for hotel guests. Does that mean it would be 440 for walk ins? We were afraid to ask. We had incredible meals on Sardinia for under 50 euros/person. $110 for buffet lunch should have been plenty. Double for walk ins is inexplicable.
