Latin American / Northeast Brazilian regional cuisine
The property's Northeast Brazilian regional restaurant — the most locally distinctive dining option on the menu. A la carte dinner with smart casual dress code. Reservations required at check-in. Access condition: 7+ night stay or Marriott Bonvoy member. The authentic regional preparations here are harder to find at other resort restaurants in the brand portfolio.

Asian / Oriental
Asian and Oriental a la carte dinner with a sushi bar and fresh fish preparations. Resort elegant dress code. Reservations required at check-in. Access condition: 7+ night stay or Marriott Bonvoy member. Worth prioritizing if you qualify — the sushi program is the most technically demanding kitchen offering on the property.

Mediterranean / Seafood / Noble Cuts
Beachfront Mediterranean and seafood restaurant offering a special tasting menu format. The most accessible of the three a la carte restaurants: 4+ nights qualifies. Smart casual dress. Reservations required. The beachfront setting and the tasting menu structure make this the most memorable dinner option — plan it for mid-trip when you've settled in.

International
Main buffet restaurant covering breakfast (7–10 AM), lunch (12–3 PM), and dinner (7–10 PM). International spread with live cooking stations and Brazilian regional dishes including made-to-order tapiocas. The fresh tapioca station at breakfast is a highlight specific to this property. No reservations, casual dress.
Signature dishes: Freshly baked pastries, Local dishes, Made-to-order Tapiocas
Eclectic
Live cooking station format across all meal periods. Chefs prepare dishes in front of guests — more interactive than a standard buffet. Useful when Marketplace is busy or when you want something freshly made to order. Casual, no reservations.
Signature dishes: Freshly prepared culinary choices
Street food
Open noon to 7 PM for gourmet burgers, tacos, pizzas, and vegan options. Outdoor grab-and-go format. A useful midday option between beach and pool time, and the vegan selection is more substantive here than at most equivalent properties.
Signature dishes: Artisanal burgers, Gourmet fries, Tacos, Pizzas, Vegan options
Beverages / Cocktails
Lobby bar with an extensive cocktail menu including a gin-focused program, classic cocktails, caipirinhas, and tropical fruit drinks. Live evening performances rotate through the week. The caipirinha program in particular is worth sampling — the bar team works with local cachaças rather than standard pours.
Signature dishes: Variety of gins, Classic cocktails, Tropical fruit-infused drinks, Caipirinha
International beverages/cocktails
Beachfront bar open 9 AM to 7 PM with cocktails, caipirinhas, gins, and tropical drinks. The most direct beach service option — order from your lounger or at the bar. Casual, no dress restrictions.
Signature dishes: Refreshing cocktails, Caipirinha, Gins, Tropical fruit-infused drinks
International beverages/cocktails
Beachfront lounge bar with signature cocktails and sea views. Day and evening hours. A step up in ambiance from the Relax Bar — better for evening pre-dinner drinks than midday beach service.
Signature dishes: Signature drinks crafted by expert mixologists
Beverages/cocktails
Swim-up pool bar for beverages without leaving the water. Swimwear appropriate. Standard cocktail and non-alcoholic menu.
Coffee House / Snacks and pastries
Open 3–7 PM and 11 PM–5 AM. The late-night coverage here is genuinely useful — the only food service available between dinner service ending and breakfast. Coffee, pastries, and snacks.
Signature dishes: Delectable snacks and pastries, Fresh coffee
Brazilian Street Food / Snacks
Roaming cart from 10 AM to 10 PM serving Brazilian caldinhos — traditional broths and soups. A distinctly local offering not found at comparable international resort brands. Worth trying once for the cultural specificity.
Signature dishes: Caldinhos (Brazilian broths/soups)
Grab-and-go / Snacks
Daytime snack station (10 AM–10 PM) with grab-and-go items, plus a lobby freezer available 10 PM–7 AM for late-night basics.
International
Available 7 AM to 11 PM. Delivery fee applies. A la carte menu from the resort kitchen. Less useful than at properties with 24-hour coverage — plan ahead if you want late-night in-room dining beyond the Westin Café's walk-up menu.
