Rating8.0
Rating7.9
Rating8.1With 11 restaurants and 14 bars, this is one of the most dining-rich resorts in Punta Cana. Eight of the restaurants are à la carte and require reservations — secure these on arrival day at the reservations desk, as the most popular (Mikado, Gaucho, La Palapa) fill within the first few hours. The three buffets are the fallback for any night you can't get a table. Bar quality is generally decent for an all-inclusive; the 24-hour Sports Bar is useful for late-night hunger and the lobby bar serves passable cocktails.

Spanish-themed à la carte with tapas, jamón, and paella. The paella takes 20 minutes and is worth it. Dinner only, smart casual.

American / International
Pan-Asian with sushi, wok dishes, and Thai-inspired plates. A step below Mikado in terms of theater but easier to get a reservation. Dinner only.

Main buffet serving all three meals. High-volume operation — the selection is broad but quality peaks at breakfast. Avoid peak dinner rush (7-8:30 PM) if possible.
Signature dishes: Wide selection of international dishes, Vegetarian options

French
Argentinian steakhouse serving grilled meats and chimichurri. The ribeye and the mollejas (sweetbreads) are the standout orders. Dinner only, smart casual required, reservations essential — this books up faster than any other restaurant on property.
Italian
Teppanyaki and sushi in a theatrical open-kitchen format. The teppanyaki show is the draw; sushi is decent but not exceptional. Seats limited per session so book the moment you check in. Dinner only.
Spanish
Beachside seafood restaurant. The setting — open-air with the Caribbean in view — is the main event. Grilled fish and lobster tail are the reliable choices. Lunch and dinner, no reservation needed for lunch but dinner books fast.
Signature dishes: Spanish tapas
Japanese
Dominican and Caribbean cuisine. If you want to eat something specific to the island rather than international buffet fare, this is where to go. Mofongo and fresh ceviche are the items worth ordering.
Signature dishes: Teppanyaki, Modern Asian fusion cuisine
Mexican
Italian à la carte. Solid wood-fired pizza and handmade pasta. Not the most creative menu, but consistently well-executed. Smart casual, dinner only, reservations needed.
Signature dishes: Traditional Mexican dishes
