Authentic Jamaican and Caribbean
The resort's signature restaurant: authentic Jamaican and Caribbean à la carte, dinner only, four sittings nightly (6:15, 7:00, 8:00, 8:45pm). Closed Mondays and Thursdays. Smart casual to elegant dress code. This is the dinner worth planning your evening around — book on arrival day, not arrival night. Guest reviews consistently rank this as the best meal on property.
Signature dishes: Gourmet Jamaican dishes
Asian fusion
Asian fusion, à la carte, dinner only (6pm–9:15pm, closed Thursdays). No reservation required — walk-in. Elegant interior with wall art. The most distinctive non-Jamaican option on the menu. Worth visiting on a night Otaheite is closed.
Signature dishes: Asian delights
Tropical and International buffet
The main all-day venue: buffet breakfast (from 5:30am), lunch, and dinner in an open-air setting. Themed nights and à la carte dinner options add variety. Made-to-order omelets at breakfast are a consistent positive. Closed Thursdays for dinner (beach party). No reservation for most periods.
Signature dishes: Fresh fruits, Baked bread, Pastries, Made-to-order omelets, Salads, Fresh seafood
Casual fare (day) / Grilled specialties and Mediterranean (night)

Same location, different setup. Also serves after-hours bites 10:30pm–5am — useful after beach parties or late entertainment. No reservation for either format.

Healthy options, fresh juices, smoothies, salads, light snacks
One of the better healthy options at any Couples property. Fresh juices, smoothies, salads, and standout items like Jamaican Sushi (smoked marlin, ackee, cream cheese), the Couples Chop Salad, and sweet potato chips with roasted artichoke dip. Typically runs 10am–5pm. A useful alternative to the main buffet when you want something lighter.

Continental breakfast, special in-room dining menu
Continental breakfast pre-ordered to your room (6:30–10am). Suite guests can also order from a special in-room dining menu (order one day in advance). If you're in a Garden or Beachfront Suite, this is a notable perk — breakfast on your balcony with a hammock view.
