The resort’s myriad of restaurants, bars and snack spots mean you’ll find something for everyone. Fill your plate at Le Buffet, serving a decadent international spread for breakfast, lunch and dinner. This open-plan eatery is a hub of gastronomy at the resort. Taste the traditional Mexican flavours at the taverna-style La Hacienda Restaurant or Paco's Tacos. Dine on a menu blending Mediterranean and Italian flavours at Los Olivos or for a lineup of a la carte Asian-style dishes and made-to-order sushi, head to D’oriental. Hot off the grill you’ll find prime cuts and hearty bites at Sonora Grill. Choose from a fresh selection of marinated and cooked seafood at El Pescador – dine on the open-air terrace where a backdrop of ocean vistas awaits. If you’re craving a slice of classic Italian fare, La Piazza’s wood-fired pizzas are sure to hit the spot.

There’s also plenty of bars serving traditional tipples, alongside chilled wines and bottled beer. Stay cool in the pool with drinks from the convenient swim-up bar. An additional pool bar, Flamencos, can be found moments from your lounger – so there’s no trek for top ups.
