Rating8.1Six restaurants and seven bars cover the full day here, all included in the standard rate. The pattern is straightforward: use the buffet for breakfast and casual lunches, and rotate through the à la carte options for dinners. Book all à la carte restaurants at check-in — Petit Bistro and El Coral fill first. Formal dress (collared shirt, no flip-flops) is enforced at most dinner venues. The 24-hour snack bar is genuinely useful for late arrivals or post-show hunger.

Gourmet International, Caribbean Fusion
The resort's top dinner choice — gourmet international with Caribbean-influenced plates prepared by the head chef. Dinner only, 6:30–10 PM, elegant dress required. Reservations are mandatory; this fills faster than any other restaurant, so book at check-in on day one.
Signature dishes: Gastronomic delights by the chef, International dishes fused with Caribbean flavors
Italian
Italian à la carte, dinner only. Classic pasta and meat dishes in a formal setting. Reservation required; formal dress. Straightforward execution, not innovative — better for guests who want reliability over experimentation.
Signature dishes: Italian favorites
Seafood
Seafood-focused à la carte in the main lobby building. Open for dinner 6:30–10 PM. Reservation required, formal attire. Worth booking if fresh fish is your priority — the grilled preparations are generally better received than sauced dishes.
Signature dishes: Fresh seafood
Caribbean
Caribbean cuisine à la carte, dinner only. Authentic island preparations — a good option for guests who want local flavor rather than international standards. Reservation required, formal dress.
Signature dishes: Caribbean cuisine
International, Seafood Focus
Located poolside with ocean views — the best setting of any restaurant here. Dinner à la carte (ceviche, prawns, grilled fish) open to all guests; breakfast and lunch buffet reserved for Premium guests. Dinner reservations required; semi-formal (no flip-flops). The view at sunset makes it the most requested table.
Signature dishes: Ceviche, Prawns, Grilled fish
International
Exclusive to Premium-tier guests. À la carte across all three meal periods — lobster is listed as the signature. If you're in a Premium room, use this over the general buffet for breakfast; the service is unhurried and the food quality is higher.
Signature dishes: Lobster
International and Creole
The main buffet — breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Live cooking stations and themed nights add variety, but repeat guests note the rotation becomes predictable mid-week. Useful for quick breakfasts before an early beach day. No reservation needed.
Signature dishes: Wide variety of cold and hot dishes, Themed nights selections
International
Casual à la carte lunch spot in the lobby area. No reservation required, noon to 3 PM. A good alternative to the buffet when the main dining room is crowded at midday.
Light Fare, Snacks
Beachfront buffet running salads, hot dishes, and fruit through the lunch hours. Come in swimwear — there's no dress requirement. Convenient for guests who don't want to leave the beach to eat.
Signature dishes: Varied selection of salads, Fresh fruit, Hot dishes
Bar menu (International and Local Beverages, Coffees)
The main social hub — open 7 AM to midnight, serves coffee through cocktails, and has live piano in the evenings. Worth stopping in after dinner if you don't want the louder theater bar.
Bar menu (Beverages)
Swim-up bar at the main pool. Cocktails and house spirits included in the all-inclusive. Gets busy mid-afternoon.
Signature dishes: Refreshing cocktails
Bar menu (Beverages, Spirits)
Evening bar with premium spirits and Cuban cigars. Smart casual. Cuba is the right place for cigars — this is worth a visit if that's your interest, even if just for one evening.
Coffee shop menu (Savory beans, Snacks, Desserts, Coffees)
Coffee shop open through the day. Good option for a quick espresso mid-morning without walking back to the main bar. Also serves pastries and light snacks.
Signature dishes: Variety of coffees, Snacks, Desserts
Bar menu (International and Local Beverages)
Grab a drink before or after the evening entertainment. Open around show times — convenient location next to the main theater.
Light snacks (Burgers, Sandwiches)
24/7 burgers and sandwiches. Not refined, but genuinely useful for late-night hunger after the shows or an early pre-beach snack before the buffet opens.
Signature dishes: Burgers, Sandwiches
Bar menu (Higher quality/premium alcoholic beverages)
Premium guests only. Open 11 AM–10:30 PM with higher-grade spirits than the standard bars. Private pool terrace access. If you're paying for Premium, use this bar over the main swim-up for evening drinks.
Signature dishes: Higher quality alcohol
Meals and snacks
Available 24/7 for all guests (Premium guests 7 AM–11 PM with dedicated service). Useful for honeymoon or anniversary guests who prefer in-room dining — continental breakfast can be arranged.
