Rating8.0
Rating8.1Adults OnlyFour specialty dinner restaurants plus the main buffet, all first-come, first-served — no reservations needed, but during peak season the specialty restaurants fill by 7 p.m. Dinner dress code at specialty restaurants requires long trousers for men and no sleeveless shirts (enforced). The buffet is casual for breakfast and lunch, smart-casual for dinner. A 24-hour sports bar serves snacks around the clock, and in-room minibars and liquor dispensers are restocked daily.

Gourmet/Fusion
The resort's most ambitious dinner option — gourmet fusion format with à la carte ordering rather than a buffet. No reservations; the line starts forming around 6:30 p.m. If elevated plating and smaller portions appeal to you after days of buffet eating, this is the right stop. Dinner only, smart-casual dress required.
Steakhouse
Poolside grill by day, plated à la carte steakhouse at dinner. Meat-focused menu with various cuts. The outdoor-but-covered setting is more relaxed than Kulinarium. No reservations; dress code applies (long trousers for men). A solid option if you want protein-forward dining without the formality of Kulinarium.
Signature dishes: Meat dishes
Italian
Italian dinner restaurant using an à la carte format for mains and a buffet for starters and desserts — a practical hybrid that works better than it sounds. Indoor, dinner only. No reported standout signature dish, but pasta and the dessert station draw positive comments. Same dress code applies.
Asian
Asian buffet with sushi and sashimi alongside hot dishes. Fully self-serve rather than table service. The sushi quality gets mixed reviews — acceptable for an all-inclusive, not a substitute for a dedicated sushi restaurant. Indoor. Dress code applies.
Signature dishes: Sushi, Sashimi
International Buffet (with local influences)
Main buffet serving all three meals. Breakfast has live cooking stations and is widely praised for variety. Themed dinner nights (Mexican, seafood, etc.) cycle through the week. For lunch, the buffet competes with the poolside grill — either works for a quick midday meal.
Signature dishes: Local cuisine (meat, fish, indigenous influences)
Grill
Casual poolside lunch spot — burgers, grilled items, light fare. The overlap with Las Brasas Steakhouse (same kitchen, different format) means the daytime grill is more about convenience than culinary interest. Good option for guests who don't want to leave the pool deck.
Bar menu
The lobby bar, open 24 hours. Known for cocktails — the mojitos and martinis are the go-to orders. Indoor and air-conditioned. Smart casual in the evenings; more relaxed during the day. Works as a pre-dinner cocktail stop.
Signature dishes: Martinis, Mojitos
Bar menu, Snacks
24-hour indoor bar with screens, billiards, and a snack menu. Serves coffee and muffins early morning. The most useful venue for late-night bites after the restaurants close. Air-conditioned.
Signature dishes: Coffee, Muffins
Bar menu
Evening-only indoor lounge bar. Quieter alternative to the Sports Bar if you want a drink without the noise of screens and billiards. Smart casual.
Bar menu
Outdoor/partially covered bar with sea views. Transitions from daytime drinks to hosting evening shows and entertainment. The most social outdoor evening venue on the property.
Bar menu
Poolside and swim-up bar open during pool hours. The swim-up section is in the adults-only pool. Piña coladas are the most-ordered drink. Daytime only.
Signature dishes: Piña Colada
Bar menu
Swim-up bar set inside one of the main pools (18+ only). Convenient for guests who don't want to leave the water. Daytime only, during pool operating hours.
Snacks
Snack stations at multiple points around the property — primarily at the Sports Bar. Useful for late arrivals or early departures. Not a full menu, but enough for a late-night bite.
Beverages, Snacks
One of this property's standout perks: each room has a liquor dispenser (typically stocked with tequila and rum) plus a minibar with water, soda, and beer. Restocked daily, though some guests report needing to request a refill. Useful for pre-dinner drinks on the balcony.
Signature dishes: Water, Soda, Beer, Liquor (e.g., Tequila)
