Rating8.1Adults OnlyTwenty dining and bar options by count, though the effective restaurant selection for dinner is five specialty restaurants and the main buffet. Book specialty restaurants on arrival — Agave (Mexican), Duomo (Italian), Sakura (Japanese), and La Botana Steakhouse are the primary options. The buffet Don Emiliano handles the volume load. Pepe's Food Grill and Tiki Taco are daytime casual options. Three of the bars operate in or around the pool — Mezcal, Tequila, and Zapata.
