Buffet Breakfast Sunday is another Claribeaux highlight. Every Sunday, feast on all your breakfast favourites (as often as you desire) from the lavish line up for just $45 per person (bottomless barista coffee and loose-leaf tea included).

A string of awards and accolades stand as testimony of the dynamic Claribeaux evolution including

n Best Value for Money
