Smart Dining Tips (How to Plan Your Meals)

  • Rotate your "vibes": do one seafood night (Las Olas), one authentic Mexican night (Casa de Rosa), and one comfort-food night (Viaggio or Brasas Grill).
  • Use Ventanas strategically: it's perfect for breakfast every day and on nights when the family can't agree on a cuisine.
  • Match dinner to your evening plan: if you want a relaxed night, choose Viaggio or Azul. If you want to celebrate, choose Las Olas or Brasas Grill.
  • Keep casual meals casual: The Dog House and Café Mexico are your "stay in the action" value plays for poolside days.
  • Don't skip sunset at At Sunset Bar: even if you don't drink much, the views are worth the visit around 6-7pm.
  • Sun Club guests: take full advantage of the Sun Club Lounge for premium drinks and snacks throughout your stay.
Planning rule that works:
If you're staying 3 nights, pick 2 specialty dinners + 1 buffet night. If you're staying 5–7 nights, rotate all the specialty restaurants and repeat your family's favorite once.
