Food and Drink

The food at the resort was really, really good. They had seven restaurants on the premises. One was a buffet which was pretty good and the others were a la cart. They were all really good. There was a French one, an Italian, an Asian, a Mexican, a sushi bar, and the Seaside grill that just had general food. They all had really good presentation with their food and made it look really cool when they served it. The Mexican one and the Seaside grill were both open air and on the ocean. Our favorite overall was the Seaside grill, it was right on the ocean. The Italian and French one were kind of upscale restaurants and we had to dress nice to go there and they had like 4 or 5 courses. We could eat at any restaurant we wanted, as many times as we wanted, and as much as we wanted. Sometimes we would go to one for an appetizer, another for our meal, and another for dessert. We could get guacamole at just about every restaurant and Margo loves the stuff so she had it just about every time we ate. We ate tons everyday we were there, it has been hard being back and not eating so much. They also had room service that was included so you could have them bring food to your room anytime of the day and there was a mini fridge in the room with soda, water and beer which was included and they restocked it everyday.
Along with the restaurants there were also 7 bars where you could get any drink (beer, mixed drinks, shots, wine, water, tea, soda) you wanted which was also all included with our stay. We tried all kinds of new drinks while we were there. Margo's favorite mixed drink was the miami vice and mine was the almond toast drink which had almond liqueur and coffee liqueur (although I drank Corona more often since I could have it anytime even in the room). They also had people walking around the beach during the day so while we were lounging on the beach we could order drinks and they would bring them to us. They also brought around fresh fruit during the day if you wanted any while lounging. They also set up a little tent by the pools everyday and grilled chicken and hot dogs and hamburgers and had chips and salsa, fruit and drinks if you wanted a snack. Here are some pics of the food, I am not sure which restaurants these were taken at.

This was at the Seaside Grill, we ate there the most often, that is the ocean in the background.


Here is an appetizer I had, it is a slap of fried mozzarella on a bed of sausage and mushrooms, it was amazing.


This is one of Margo's main course, it is stuffed chicken breast on a bed of mixed veggies with mashed potatoes.


This is a dessert, it was a chocolate tart type thing with ice cream on top, mmm.


This was during Mexican night were they had a Mexican show and a big buffet set up of traditional Mexican food. Yes, that is (or was) a whole pig.
