Five restaurants: one steakhouse, one Italian, one Asian buffet, one Mexican (beachfront), and the main international buffet. All specialty restaurants except the main buffet require reservations and formal dinner dress. Book via the resort app on the morning of your intended visit — the Black Cow steakhouse fills fastest. The beach club serves both a casual lunch and converts to a Mexican restaurant at dinner.
