  • Use Platinum Restaurant strategically: it's perfect for breakfast and on days you're doing long beach sessions or off-property excursions.
  • Match dinner to your evening plan: if you want a big social night, choose Fusion 360 or El Delirio. If you want romance, choose Il Palazzo.
  • Don't skip Jamrock: it's the most "we're in Jamaica" experience on property and a must-do for jerk chicken fans.
