Rating8.0
Rating8.1Adults OnlySeventeen dining and drinking options. Book Sir Richard (the gourmet specialty), Mammee Bay Steakhouse, and Piacenza on arrival day — all three fill quickly. The jerk chicken at Pepe's Food hut is specifically recommended in guest reviews as the must-try lunch item. The Pacha disco is on-site. Room service availability is limited — not 24 hours.
