Rating8.1Adults OnlyEleven venues total, with 24-hour service. The three specialty à la carte restaurants (Kaori, La Forchetta, Sauté) require reservations and formal dress — long trousers for men. Book them on arrival day; they tend to fill by evening. The main buffet, Riti Panna & Ceylon, is the workhorse of the dining program with Sri Lankan curries, seafood, and international dishes. After Hours Bar provides 24-hour snacks including a dedicated sandwich corner.
