Rating8.2Adults OnlyRating8.3Adults OnlyThirteen venues total across six restaurants and six bars/lounges. No reservations required at the à la carte restaurants — just show up at dinner. The à la carte restaurants (Oceana, Portofino, Bluewater Grill, and Gohan) consistently outperform the main World Café buffet, which is adequate for breakfast but loses steam by dinner. For lunch, the Barefoot Grill poolside bistro is the most practical option. Coffee after breakfast can be surprisingly hard to find — Coco Café closes at 6pm.

Seafood
Seafood à la carte with ocean views, indoor and outdoor seating. Dinner only. The freshest fish on the property — grilled whole fish and seafood platters are the most frequently praised dishes. Casual elegance dress code.
Signature dishes: Exquisite seafood, Fresh specialties from the sea to the grill
Italian
Italian à la carte, dinner only, indoor. Pasta and Italian mains in an elegant dining room setting. Vegetarian options available. Guest reviews call it reliable rather than exceptional — solid execution of familiar dishes.
Signature dishes: Italy's best cuisine
Steakhouse
Steakhouse focusing on grilled meats. Two seating options: indoor under a distinctive flower-decorated ceiling, or the outdoor poolside terrace. The terrace is worth requesting on warm evenings. Dinner only.
Signature dishes: Best grilled meats on the island, Decadent grilled meats
Asian
Japanese and Asian à la carte with a sushi bar facing the Atlantic Ocean. The views from the sushi bar counter are the best dining view on the property. Dinner only (closes at 10pm, earlier than other venues). Casual dress.
Signature dishes: Genuine Asian cuisine, Succulent Asian dishes, Tasty sushi
International Buffet
Main buffet for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The breakfast is the strongest meal — live cooking stations, fresh eggs, pastries, and a terrace with pool views in summer. Dinner quality at the buffet is where reviews diverge; if you're staying more than 4 nights, rely on the à la carte restaurants for dinner and use World Café primarily for breakfast.
Light Lunch
Poolside bistro open 10:30am–6:30pm for light lunch and snacks. The most casual daytime dining option. Good for a quick meal without changing out of poolwear. Healthy options and vegetarian items available.
Signature dishes: Light lunches, Fresh specialties, Healthy options, Vegetarian options
Coffee
Coffee bar open 10am–6pm. Gourmet coffees, smoothies, pastries, savory baguettes. The gap in the coffee program: after 6pm, coffee service is limited. If you need late evening coffee, use the room service option or the lobby bar.
Signature dishes: Coffees, Smoothies, Juices, Sweets, Slushes, Savory baguettes, Pastries
Lounge Bar
Elegant indoor bar with live music from 6pm–12:30am. The most civilized evening venue on the property — good cocktails and a calmer atmosphere than the outdoor bars. Casual elegance.
Signature dishes: Superb signature cocktails, Decadent handcrafted cocktails
Cocktails
Outdoor evening bar with ocean views, open 7pm–12:30am. Poolside and lobby positions available. The liveliest evening bar for guests who want ambient social energy rather than a quiet lounge.
Signature dishes: Wide range of cocktails
Cocktails
Outdoor beachfront bar, 6pm–11pm. Direct access to the volcanic sand beach. Best position on the property for evening drinks with sea air. Cocktails, smoothies, and juices.
Signature dishes: Exquisite cocktails, Refreshing smoothies, Juices
Sports Bar Drinks
Indoor sports bar, open until 1am. Multiple large screens. Appeals to guests who want to watch live matches during their stay. Not a major draw for most couples.
Premium Alcoholic Drinks
Preferred Club exclusive, 10am–6:30pm. Continental breakfast, afternoon snacks, and premium drinks at a poolside lounge. One of the main practical reasons to upgrade to Preferred Club.
Signature dishes: Premium alcoholic drinks, Selection of snacks and drinks
Varied international cuisine
24 hours, included in the all-inclusive program. No delivery fee (unlike Secrets La Romana). À la carte menu delivered to your room. Most useful for early breakfast before the buffet opens or late-night after entertainment.
