We've stayed at The Breakers three times in the last 12 years. This last trip was a mish-mash. The resort is beautiful. But everything else is inconsistent. That is the best word to describe it. Our room keys worked on some days and not on others. The food was good at times and horrible at other times. The staff was kind and generous at times and rude and rude, slow, smug most of the time . I think my biggest beef with this place, what is the cost to exist. Although our actual room rate was decent Our meals often cost 1 1/2 to 2 times as much as our room rate. For example -- $450 was our tab for four. We had one appetizer, a salad or soup, and 3 of the 4 had sandwiches. The food is marginal at best.
