Food & drink
StrongSolid, if not spectacular, with a strong Seabreeze buffet and standout à la carte at Portofino and Sails & Tales. Reservations disappear fast and Nicole's upcharge divides opinion.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Seabreeze buffet variety praised
- Portofino Italian a consistent favorite
- Omelette station a morning highlight
- Beach BBQ nights are fun
Heads up
- À la carte reservations book out two days ahead
- Nicole's $50 upcharge not always worth it
- Buffet often closed for lunch
- Slow service at Sails & Tales

- Beach and pool infrastructure delivers
Heads up

What past guests say
“Good food, restaurants not always open every day, very large grounds and because of the heat you rely on the golf carts for transport, most of the bars/restaurants are indoors so could do with more outdoor space to eat, it no longer has a tennis court, even though they are still advertising it 🤷♂️ nice beach and staff very friendly.”

★★★★☆
“The best all inclusive we have experienced. Newly redecorated, spacious rooms, consistently good food, great staff! The two small beaches have enough shade, warm shallow water, and awesome bartenders. Beautiful landscaping, spread over 30 acres, so no quiet and private. Their own water system and veg gardens!”
★★★★★
“Best staycation. A yearly getaway.”
