For those needing to come up with budgets for travel, will any meals for attendees be included in the bid itself? The writeup says it is an option, but there are no details or specifics.
It wasn't clear to me if we were planning to cover lunch or breakfast or not, but the proposal the resort put together for us has an attendees-on-their-own concession stand set up in the mornings from 7 am - 10 am + a daily lunch buffet.
OK. The main question is if Flock is going to cover the costs of said meals, or if people need to account for that out-of-pocket. That's probably a question for the Flock committee and OSAS.
LUNCH OPTIONS
The budget-wise option is a boxed lunch which is $12.95/pp + 15% service charge, 5% admin fee + 6.25% MA meal tax == $16.35/pp. This includes a choice ham, roast turkey, tuna salad, chicken caesar wrap, or vegetarian wrap (hummus/cucumber/sprouts/tabouleh) and I can make sure the veg option is also vegan.
Plated lunches range from $18.87 - $22.66 depending on the dish (most are $18.87) (all taxes / service fees included)
Buffet lunches are the most expensive option, from $22.66 - $26.44 depending on the option selected.
There's also restaurants in walking distance.
BREAKFAST OPTIONS
The breakfast options are (all taxes / service fees included):
Continental Breakfast $11.30/pp Mini Resort Breakfast (continental + fruit + eggs) $12.56/pp Breakfast Buffet (mini resort + bacon + sausage) $16.34/pp
Out of curiosity, how do these costs compare to the restaurants close by?
