Essensia at The Palms Hotel & Spa

I had breakfast here today. It was horrible. The food here falls under the category of "plastic food". You know, the "cancun stupid tourist" standard. They have the nerve to serve a 20 dollars egg plate that is not even egg, it was one of those spongy instant egg they serve at large buffets that tastes like nothing and have the most horrid texture. The server was fantastic, I have nothing to say about him. However, expecting actual eggs for a 20 dollars plate shouldn't be something out of this world. And I say that without even mentioning the stone-line chorizo it was served with. My husband's all American breakfast was also horrible. I can't understand how they were able to ruin even the sausage and the bacon. Absolutely tasteless. Don't waste your money here. I'll have breakfast somewhere else tomorrow.

We came here for a short vacation and had a wonderful time. The food at the restaurant was fantastic and compared to other restaurants in the area it was very reasonable. What made it special though were the staff members. I don't want to name them on a public review, but will be contacting management to give them praise. We were at the hotel for only 4 nights and ate there 3 times and breakfast each morning.

Food was very good. I had a skirt steak. Not the best cut but they made it work.

I ordered 4 course meal and it sucked. The beet salad had a spoiled smell. The lamb shank I ordered they served from refrigerator perhaps did not even warm it enough. This experience was terrible. Servers are good.

Fantastic breakfast buffet (omelette, Belgian waffles, and fruit selection was our favorite). Dinner menu had a limited selection of entrees with meat, but the Caesar salad, gnocchi, and seared Pompano was great.

I had an amazing Sunday brunch here, the food was great, Vanessa, Argentina, service was amazing! Definitely worth with this food and service

Had breakfast two different days and loved it. I skipped the buffet, but it looked amazing. The hash brown bowl and smoked salmon/bagel platter were great. The latter was actually a beautiful arrangement. Service was great. My only suggestion to them would be to better control the birds in the outside seating.

Food was great! Would have loved more sea food options
