There are six specialty restaurants on the resort. Each offers a particular cuisine. The decor and wait staff attire reflect that culture, as do the drinks and food.
Booking specialty dinners
You will receive your dinner vouchers when you check in. You must book your specialty dinners in person at guest services located in each lobby. I highly recommend you book them the moment you check in to ensure you get all the restaurants you want at a time that is convenient for you. Take a moment to check the schedule of buffet theme night to make sure you don't miss your favourite.

- Women wear casual dress with dressy sandals.
- For children over the age of ten, the dress code is the same as for adults.
Some people have been able to get away with less but be aware that the dress code is enforced and you risk being turned away if you show up for your reservation wearing shorts, open toed shoes (men), flip flops, non collared shirts, ripped or torn jeans, bathing suits etc.

If you're celebrating a birthday, anniversary or any other event, let the guest services know when you're making the reservation or let the waiter know when you sit down for your meal. They will do something special for you at no extra charge.
