Rating8.0Rating8.0Rating8.0Adults Only17 venues including 7 à la carte restaurants. The à la carte dinner reservation system is the main operational friction — go to the reservations desk immediately after check-in and book all your dinners for the week. Mangú by Leandro Díaz (Dominican cuisine) and Lemon Fish are the most popular and fill fastest. The Origen Gastro Hall buffet is above-average for the destination. Vacation club solicitation frequently operates through the excursions desk — be aware when booking dining assistance.
