Breakfast
Postcard Inn Beach Resort & Marina guests have provided feedback specifically on the breakfast experience at the hotel, highlighting both positives and areas for improvement. The recurring sentiment from the reviews is that the absence of an inclusive breakfast option is noted and felt as a significant gap by many visitors, especially when compared to the offerings of similar resorts. Several guests expressed disappointment at the lack of breakfast services directly at the resort, as some expected a continental breakfast to be included.

However, there are still breakfast options available on and near the property. The resort features a café with a variety of breakfast items, a Tiki Bar that serves breakfast and a Starbucks on the premises, which is highly appreciated for its excellent offerings. The main Italian restaurant, Ciao Hound, also serves breakfast but is closed two days a week, which has led to some inconvenience. While some guests reported very good and delicious breakfast experiences, others found the food to be inconsistent, overpriced and with long wait times.

Overall, while there are some on-site breakfast options and nearby cafes, the infrequent availability and additional cost for breakfast have left guests yearning for more standard and inclusive breakfast amenities.

Guests praise the location for offering convenient dining with exceptional service at the pool and beachside tables, making for a memorable experience, especially during dinner. The steak and certain appetizers like conch fritters have received specific compliments for their quality.

However, the dining options at the resort are somewhat limited, especially during the low season with key restaurants like Ciao Hound often closed or unavailable for dinner. This results in a reliance on fewer venues such as the Tiki Bar, which can lead to long waits for patrons. Price points for food and drinks can be high, adding to some guests' frustrations about the overall value.

While some dishes, particularly from the raw bar, have failed to impress, many visitors still find the food overall to be decent or good with some meals described as amazing.
