Going there later this year. Welcome any advice on restaurants on the property.
I've not been there since they built the newest set of buildings (so this would've been pre-COVID). Ventus had been built.
I forget the name of the restaurant, but it's the seafood/fish one by the marina area. We liked the food there.
There's an Italian (?) once that's up by the new Ventus buildings that was our favorite.
I don't think the French one was open when we were there (it was like June, so "low season")
They had 2 areas for breakfast, a smaller one by Ventus and the main one I think it was called Alihambra? Anyway, the smaller one was nicer in the sense of not a lot of people, but the food selection was a lot smaller. The main one has a very large buffet, but it's almost always very crowded. Pros and Cons to each.
I think they got rid of the Mexican restaurant as well, since with Ventus, there's that "market" place with like 8-10 different eateries (think a food court in a mall). Food was OK (not bad, not great). You will have trouble finding seating depending on when you go (one night there was a line for about 30 minutes for seating). I vaguely recall the tacos were good there. I *think* that's the only spot open for lunch though. Again, this was pre-covid and before they built the ventus 'ha buildings, so I'm not sure if things have changed.
I'd like to go back there, but only if we can be assured to be put in the new buildings, not the "old" ones (we got stuck in the "new" Marina building which is now Ventus but not the new Ventus and the walls are paper thin). Oh, and the AC was on an occupancy sensor, so if you go when it's hot, you'll have to rig up something that moves around all night, otherwise it shuts off after 15 minutes and you wake up in a pool of sweat because the room is 86 degrees.
