Rating8.1Adults OnlyLimited specialty restaurant options — the main buffet Panama and two specialty options (Cohiba and Buda's). The real dining variety comes from access to the neighboring Riu properties and Caribbean Street. Room service and 24-hour snack service fill the gaps. The food quality issues mentioned in reviews are most pronounced at the main buffet.

Italian or Steakhouse (alternating nights)
The main buffet restaurant. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The most-criticized aspect of this property — food described as bland and lacking Dominican flavor in multiple reviews. Themed nights cycle through the week but don't significantly change the quality assessment. The fallback option.
International Buffet
Specialty restaurant — Cuban-themed given the name. Reservation likely required. A step up from the main buffet in terms of presentation.
Signature dishes: Themed buffets (three times a week)
International
Available as part of the all-inclusive. A practical alternative when the main restaurant experience isn't satisfying.
Snacks, Light Bites
Round-the-clock snack options. The most useful late-night resource given the limited specialty restaurant selection.
Bar Service, Light Snacks
Asian-themed specialty restaurant. Likely reservation required. One of the more popular alternatives to the main buffet.
Signature dishes: Refreshing drinks
Bar Service
Bar — likely the main poolside or entertainment area bar. Bolero music is Cuba/Caribbean — thematic fit with the resort's Caribbean identity.
Signature dishes: Refreshing drinks
