Culinarilly, the resort offers a diverse selection, with two buffet restaurants with live-cooking stations, seven à-la-carte venues with influences from Italy, India, Asia, and Spain, a steakhouse, and two upscale gourmet options providing varied moments of enjoyment. At noon, an open Jerk Grill station complements the offering in the outdoor area. Ten elegantly positioned bars, including several swim-up varieties, a trendy cocktail lounge, and a sports meeting point open throughout the day, are spread across the entire complex.

Seasonal information

During a stay between April and December, there may be an increased occurrence of seagrass and algae due to wind, temperature, and currents. In particular, there is often an increased emergence of brown algae in the Caribbean during this time. This can impact the beach and the sea. The hotel management and local authorities are, of course, making every effort to clean affected beach sections in cooperation with the municipal administrations. However, the use of appropriate equipment is necessary for this, which causes a slight background noise.
