Five on-site restaurants offer Italian, Japanese, Mexican, and steakhouse cuisines, plus a main buffet for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Breakfast includes champagne, fresh fruit, and made-to-order omelets. The resort also has a bar at the main building and a swim-up bar by the pool.

Entertainment and Nightlife

Evening entertainment includes live music, themed dinner nights, and a nightly show. The resort also runs a nightclub with a DJ and hosts a weekly White Party. Daily activities such as aqua aerobics, beach volleyball, and bingo keep guests engaged.
