Rating8.0
Rating8.0The resort has four food venues and six bars. Two restaurants — La Estancia (Argentine steakhouse) and Taco Arte Beach Lounge (Mexican) — require dinner reservations and are worth securing at check-in. La Hacienda is the main open buffet for all three meals. La Crêperie handles snacks poolside throughout the day. The buffet food draws mixed reviews; the specialty restaurants are generally considered worth the slight extra effort of booking.

Argentinian steakhouse
Argentine steakhouse, dinner only. À la carte with oceanfront terrace seating. The New York strip and Bife de Chorizo are the standout orders — both char-grilled and available in larger cuts than the buffet proteins. Reservation required; book on arrival day at the front desk or concierge. Smart-casual dress expected: collared shirts for men, no flip-flops.
Signature dishes: New York steak, Bife de Chorizo, Roast and char-grilled meats
Authentic Mexican
Mexican restaurant with beachfront seating. Breakfast and lunch run buffet-style; dinner switches to family-style à la carte. The hand-crafted tacos, ceviche, and octopus preparations get the most positive mentions in guest reviews. Reservations needed for dinner. Casual daytime dress; resort casual for evenings.
Signature dishes: Hand-crafted tacos, Fresh guacamole, Ceviche, Poblano mole, Fish of the day
International buffet
Main international buffet, open for all three meals. Rotating themed nights change the dinner spread — Mexican, seafood, Asian. Live cooking stations and a dedicated gelato station. A Baby Corner section and an adults-only dining area reduce family-vs-quiet-meal friction. No reservation needed. Buffet food quality is average by day four; plan to use the specialty restaurants to break it up.
Signature dishes: Local seafood specialties, Crunchy tostadas, Unlimited gelato
Sweet and savory snacks, crepes
All-day snack spot by the pool and beach. Nutella crepes, sandwiches, wraps, hot dogs, and fruit. Casual swimwear-friendly. Not a meal replacement but useful for keeping kids fed between pool sessions without returning to the main buffet.
Signature dishes: Nutella crepes, Buttery popcorn, Sandwiches, Hot dogs, Salads, Focaccia, Wraps, Fruit
Bar menu, pre-dinner appetizers
