Rating8.0
Rating8.1Adults OnlySixteen food and beverage venues in total. Five specialty à la carte restaurants handle dinner — no reservations required for standard-category rooms, just show up. The Black & White steakhouse is popular; arrive before 7 PM to avoid a wait. Don Roberto buffet gets higher guest satisfaction scores than most of the à la carte options — worth prioritizing for at least a few dinners. Lounge 24 is the smart option for late-night food and drinks without getting dressed. El Romero poolside grill handles lunch with a respectable BBQ spread including paella.

Fusion
Fusion à la carte dinner, opens around 6 PM. Adults-only 18+. Smart casual dress — men need long trousers. The menu changes periodically; the kitchen executes the global fusion concept better than the name suggests.
Steakhouse
The resort's steakhouse — consistently the most popular dinner option. Arrive before 7 PM on busy nights to avoid a long wait. Prime rib is the reliable order. Formal dinner attire required.
Signature dishes: Steak options, Prime Rib
Italian
Italian à la carte with buffet starters and desserts. Classic pasta dishes and meat preparations. No surprises — reliable Italian execution. Formal dress required.
Japanese
Japanese à la carte restaurant. Note: no teppanyaki show tables here — it's a standard service restaurant. Ramen and gyoza are the most consistent dishes. Formal dress required.
Signature dishes: Ramen, Gyoza
Mexican
Also known as Tio Pepe. Mexican à la carte with buffet starters and desserts. Good option if you want regional flavors. The most casual atmosphere of the five specialty restaurants.
International
Main buffet for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The breakfast quality is notably good — live cooking stations with full American and continental options. Thursday evenings historically feature lobster tails, though availability varies. Themed buffets three times weekly. Indoor with terrace seating.
Signature dishes: Lobster tails (Thursday evenings - as of 2017)
Poolside Buffet & Grill
Poolside buffet and grill open for lunch. The paella and BBQ meats are the standout items — better than what you'd expect from a poolside station. Outdoor setting makes it a natural lunch choice if you're already at the pool.
Signature dishes: Grilled meats, Paella, Extensive poolside BBQ dishes
Pâtisserie & Snacks
Pâtisserie and ice cream parlor open during the day. Good for an afternoon treat between meals. Pastries and frozen desserts are the draw.
Signature dishes: Pastries, Ice creams
Snacks and Beverages
Self-serve food and drinks, 24 hours. The most practically useful venue if you arrive late, leave for excursions early, or come back from the Pacha disco after dinner service ends. Casual indoor setting.
Lobby Bar
Lobby bar in the resort's signature art-deco interior. Good for pre-dinner cocktails before the specialty restaurants open. Local and imported premium spirits.
Plaza Bar
Outdoor plaza bar — casual drinks during the day and evening. Good airflow and natural light make it a pleasant alternative to the indoor lobby bar.
Lounge Bar
Lounge bar open evenings, smart casual dress code. The most refined bar setting on the property for cocktails before or after dinner.
Poolside Bar
Poolside bar operating during pool hours. Standard cocktail and beer selection. Convenient for not leaving the pool area.
Swim-up Bar
Swim-up bar in the main pool. Cold drinks without getting out of the water. Expect a crowd from noon to 3 PM.
International
24-hour room service with international menu. The late-night menu is more limited than the full restaurant options — good for a snack rather than a full meal.
Specialty Romantic Dinner
Extra charge. Beachfront private dinner for couples, reservation required. Good for anniversaries or a birthday night. Pre-book through the activities desk — available nights are limited.
