Rating8.1Nine dining and bar outlets are covered under the all-inclusive rate. The two à la carte restaurants — The Italian and D'Oriental — are the clear highlights but require reservations; capacity is limited and fills quickly. The main buffet handles breakfast, lunch, and dinner and is the default for most meals. Dress code for à la carte is smart casual. Room service is available only to Premium Level guests.

Italian
The strongest dinner option on property. Pasta and sauces are the reliable choice; the steaks are a reported surprise standout. Indoor seating with sunset views over the gulf makes this the go-to for a romantic evening. Reservations required and fill fast — secure your table at check-in. Open dinner only, 6:30–9:00 PM. Smart casual dress.
Signature dishes: Classic Italian cuisine, Excellent steaks
Japanese and Asian fusion
Japanese and Asian fusion with a teppanyaki show-cooking table as the centerpiece. Private tatami rooms available for more intimate meals. The teppanyaki experience is the most distinctive dining moment on the property — request it specifically. Open dinner only, 6:30–9:00 PM, reservation required. Smart casual.
Signature dishes: Teppanyaki dishes, Asian fusion creations
International Buffet
The main dining hall serves all three meals with rotating international themes at dinner. Food quality draws mixed reviews — it covers the bases but lacks standout dishes. Not air-conditioned, which becomes uncomfortable during hot afternoons. Open breakfast 7:00–10:30 AM, lunch 12:30–3:00 PM, dinner 6:30–9:30 PM. No reservation needed.
Signature dishes: Fresh island fare, Nightly themed dinners
International (Light lunch and snacks)
Poolside lunch stop for grilled items and lighter fare. Good for days when you don't want to break from the pool to walk to the buffet. Casual, open during midday pool hours. No reservation needed.
Snacks and Drinks
Outdoor light-bite stop with drinks from 10:00 AM–5:00 PM. Useful for filling gaps between meals. Simple options — don't expect much beyond packaged snacks and easy drinks.
Signature dishes: Selection of international snacks
Cocktails and Drinks
The main social gathering point, especially useful for a pre-dinner drink while waiting for restaurant seating. Cocktails and full bar selection with gulf views. Open from morning through late evening.
Drinks
Swim-up access bar serving the main pool. Covers the standard all-inclusive bar menu — cocktails, beer, soft drinks. Open during pool hours.
Drinks
Evening-only venue for dancing and late-night drinks. Energy level varies by season and occupancy — can feel sparse during low periods. Worth trying once if you want nightlife without leaving the property.
International (variety from resort)
Available to Premium Level guests only during limited hours. Not a standard inclusion — factor this in when evaluating whether the Premium Level upgrade suits your style.
