Dining Guide for Margaritaville Island Reserve Resort Cap Cana

Ten restaurants across the full property, shared between Hammock and Wave guests. The JWB Steakhouse and LandShark Brewery are the two restaurants with the strongest consistent praise in reviews. The Boathouse buffet handles breakfast. Reservation discipline matters here — JWB books out fast and the Entertainment Village restaurants fill during peak evenings.
