Rating8.7Adults OnlyRating8.0Adults OnlyRating9.1Adults OnlySix specialty restaurants plus a buffet, coffee shop, and 24-hour room service. Of the specialty venues, only Chef's Plate requires reservations (and an upcharge unless you're in a Luxury Suite or above — confirm at check-in). Asiana's teppanyaki tables also book up; get your name on the list within a few hours of arrival. The other four restaurants operate on a walk-in basis, though Pelicanos fills quickly at dinner during peak season. All restaurants are adults-only.

Gourmet Mexican (with French influences)
Gourmet Mexican with French technique — think elevated mole and refined preparations of regional ingredients rather than tableside guacamole. The kitchen is capable of genuinely impressive food, though consistency varies. Dinner only, 6-11 PM. No reservation required; arrive early in peak season to avoid a wait. Smart-casual dress.
Signature dishes: Gourmet Mexican cuisine
Contemporary, Gourmet Asian (Teppanyaki, Sushi/Sashimi)
Two concepts in one building: a teppanyaki grill on the lower level with theatrical knife-work and tableside cooking, and a sushi and sashimi bar upstairs. The teppanyaki is the draw — both for the show and the quality of the proteins coming off the griddle. Reserve a teppanyaki table on arrival day; the sushi bar is walk-in. Open for lunch and dinner. Casual at lunch, smart-casual at dinner.
Signature dishes: Teppanyaki dishes, Sushi, Sashimi
Caribbean Seafood
Caribbean seafood in an open-air setting directly adjacent to the infinity pool. Best seats face the water; request one when you arrive. The fish preparations are fresh and straightforward — grilled, ceviche, classic preparations rather than anything experimental. Serves all three meals, which makes it the go-to for a quick, quality breakfast with a view. No reservation needed, but dinner tables disappear fast.
Signature dishes: Freshly caught Caribbean seafood
Authentic Cantina-style Mexican, Yucatecan Regional Cuisine, Caribbean Seafood
Yucatecan regional cuisine with the strongest tequila and mezcal selection on property. The kitchen leans into local flavors — cochinita pibil, fresh seafood in regional preparations — rather than generic Mexican-American fare. Dinner only, 6-10:30 PM. Walk-in, casual dress. The cocktails using local agave spirits are worth ordering alongside food.
Signature dishes: Fresh Caribbean seafood, Local Mexican fare, Signature tequila/mezcal cocktails, Mexican hors d'oeuvres
International Buffet
The main buffet, open for all three meals. Breakfast is the strongest showing — eggs to order, pastries, fruit. Lunch is reliable. Dinner draws mixed reviews: the live cooking stations (pasta, grilled meats) are the better bet; the pre-plated sections can feel tired by mid-week. Ocean views from indoor seating. No reservation, no dress code beyond casual.
Signature dishes: House-made guacamole, Fresh ceviche and salad bar, Pasta show cooking station, Grilled meats, Uniquely cooked fish
Coffee, Pastries, Ice Cream, Desserts, Deli
The coffee shop: espresso drinks, pastries, ice cream, and desserts from 6 AM to 11 PM. Useful for an early breakfast before restaurants open, or an afternoon coffee break. The chocolate-covered strawberries appear in guest reviews often enough to be worth trying. No reservation, fully included.
Signature dishes: Premium espresso and cappuccino drinks, Delectable pastries, Desserts, Ice creams, Chocolate-covered strawberries
Bar menu (Beer, Fine Wine, Premium Spirits and Cocktails)
The main indoor bar, open 2 PM to midnight, with views toward the Caribbean and infinity pool. Fine wines and mixed cocktails are the focus. Quieter than the beach bar and better for an end-of-evening drink. Walk-in, resort casual.
Signature dishes: Expertly crafted cocktails, Fine wines, Premium spirits
Bar menu (Frozen Cocktails, Alcoholic and Non-alcoholic Beverages)
In-pool bar at the beachfront infinity pool, open 8 AM to 6 PM. Frozen cocktails and cold drinks without leaving the water. Seats fill by mid-morning on busy days — arrive before 9 AM if you want a spot. Swimwear attire.
Signature dishes: Frozen cocktails
Bar menu (Authentic Mexican Tequilas, Delicious Drinks)
Beachfront bar with swing seats directly on the sand, open 2 PM to midnight. The best place on property to drink something agave-based while watching the sun go down. Casual, no reservation.
Signature dishes: Selection of authentic Mexican tequilas
Bar menu (Variety of Beverages, Snacks)
Indoor sports bar with billiards tables and screens for live games, open 11 AM to 1 AM. The latest-closing bar on property. Good for guests who want to watch a match or play pool without making it a nightclub situation. Casual, no reservation.
Bar menu (Premium Snacks, International Drinks)
The only food-and-drink option open around the clock. Snacks, premium spirits, table games, and TVs. Useful for late arrivals or early departures when the restaurants are closed. Included for all guests.
Signature dishes: Hors d'oeuvres, Premium snacks, International drinks
In-suite dining with a variety of options
24-hour in-suite dining with an a la carte menu. Delivery to your suite at any hour, included in the all-inclusive rate. Reliable for late-night eating when restaurants have closed.
Haute Cuisine, International, Gourmet
Seven-course tasting menu prepared daily by the executive chef in a 14-seat dining room. This is the resort's most serious culinary effort — intimate, reservation-required, and complimentary only for Oceanfront Luxury Suite and Presidential Suite guests. Everyone else pays an upcharge. The menu changes daily and focuses on seasonal ingredients; it's the kind of meal you plan your evening around. Two sittings: 6 PM and 9 PM. Smart-casual or formal attire required.
Signature dishes: Daily unique seven-course gourmet menu
