Italian and International gourmet
Italian à la carte under a palapa structure among the gardens and pools — one of the more atmospheric settings on the resort. The frutti di mare and wood-fired pizzas are the consistent guest recommendations. Dinner only 6:30-9:30 PM. Reservations required, minimum stay applies. Smart casual.
Signature dishes: Frutti di mare, Traditionally oven-baked pizzas
Mexican
The property's signature dining experience: a cliff-perch palapa restaurant with panoramic views over Manzanillo Bay. Traditional Mexican à la carte — the antojitos, lobster, and flank steak crepes are the standout dishes. The setting is the reason this restaurant gets booked first. Reservations required. Smart casual, dinner only 6:30-9:30 PM.
Signature dishes: Traditional Mexican antojitos, Lobster, Flank steak crepes

Snacks, Casual beach fare
On the beach, Mon-Sat noon to 6 PM, Sun 1-6 PM. Burgers, hot dogs, ceviche, and tacos — the most casual on-property eating option. The ceviche is genuinely good. No reservations, outdoor, casual.
