Rating8.1Rating7.0Rating8.2Between the Ziva and Zilara sides combined, adult guests have access to over a dozen restaurants. On the Ziva side alone: the main buffet (ChoiceZ), Italian (Di RoZa), Asian fusion (FuZion), beachfront Caribbean (Blue Grill at CalypZo), and the jerk shack (Barefoot JerkZ). Di RoZa and FuZion require reservations — go to the reservations desk immediately at check-in, not after you've seen your room. Both fill for prime dinner slots within the first hour of guests arriving. Union Jack'Z is the go-to for late-night food and does double duty as the nightclub after 10pm.
