View →Rating8.0Adults OnlyRating8.7Rating8.0Adults OnlyRating8.7Eleven restaurants and ten bars are covered under the all-inclusive rate. Seven of the restaurants are à la carte specialty venues requiring reservations — book these on your first morning, not the evening you want to go. El Alcázar handles the buffet meals and is the fallback for most guests; it's functional but not a highlight. Dress code for à la carte is casual-elegant: no shorts, flip-flops, or sleeveless shirts for men. Room service is available to Royal Level guests.

Traditional Mexican
Mexican à la carte with enchiladas, tacos, and traditional preparations in a refined setting. The most flavorful of the specialty restaurants if you enjoy bold seasoning. Reservation required. Dinner only.
Signature dishes: Enchiladas, Tacos
Italian
Italian à la carte — pasta, risotto, and standard Italian mains in a more formal dining environment. Reliable if not groundbreaking. Reservation required. Dinner only.
Fish and Seafood
Beachfront seafood restaurant with ocean views — ceviche and tuna tartar are the standout dishes. The best location of any restaurant on property. Reservation required; the view tables go first.
Signature dishes: Seafood soups, Ceviche, Tuna tartar, Fish entrees, Steak entrees
Steakhouse / Grilled Meat and Fish
The steakhouse, serving grilled meats and fish in a rustic-elegant setting. The meat portions are substantial. Best for guests who want something more filling than the lighter à la carte options. Reservation required.

Japanese and Chinese / Asian-inspired
Japanese and Chinese fusion — sushi, seafood, and Asian mains. The teppanyaki cooking option is the most interactive experience on property. Reservation required.
Signature dishes: Vegetarian selections, Seafood dishes, Pork dishes, Duck dishes, Sushi (appetizers)
International
Exclusive to Royal Level guests. Serves all three meals with à la carte international menu. Consistently higher quality and service than the main outlets — a key reason to evaluate the Royal Level upgrade.
Signature dishes: Salmon and cream cheese omelette, Bloody Marys (breakfast)
International Buffet
The main buffet for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Custom omelets at breakfast are reliable; the dinner rotation draws mixed reviews for repetition and blandness over a multi-day stay. Not air-conditioned — a consideration during hot afternoons. No reservation needed.
Signature dishes: Made-to-order omelets, Fresh fruits, Pancakes, Crepe station, Smoothies
International Buffet
International buffet on the sand for casual lunch with ocean views. Better location than El Alcázar; similar food quality. Good option for staying close to the water at midday. No reservation needed.

Signature dishes: Mexican tacos, Fusion of flavors

The pizza here gets consistently better reviews than the pizza at the buffet — worth a visit specifically. Guests frequently single it out as a surprise highlight. Casual, no reservation needed.
