Rating8.1Adults OnlyTen venues in total, but the two specialty restaurants (La Dolce Vita Italian and María Sardina Andalusian) fill quickly — make reservations on the day of arrival. The main buffet Ajoblanco handles most meals including themed nights twice weekly. The poolside Pepe's Food runs during pool hours and needs no reservation. All drinks 24 hours.
