If you like, you can add a reasonably priced cooked breakfast to your package, although there are many cafés and shops nearby where you can buy food and supplies. Green Canyon offers cheap scooter rental directly from the resort, and there are also several tourist attractions within walking distance (e.g., the Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks near Lamai Beach).
