Rating8.1Adults OnlyFive restaurants and five bars operate under 24-hour all-inclusive, covering everything from an Asian specialty buffet to a poolside grill. Three dinner venues require reservations — book via the RIU app on arrival day. The main buffet Atlantico is the reliable fallback for all three meal periods, while Pepe's Food handles casual daytime hunger between swims.
