Restaurant
We make sure that every bit of your stay is memorable and enjoyable. Food plays a big role and that’s why we have carefully created a menu that caters to every taste.
There are two locations for our restaurant: The main restaurant is located on the 2nd floor just above the dive center where our daily breakfast buffet is served. Different breakfast styles are served for each day of the week, namely German, Spanish, American, French, Chinese, Filipino, and Swiss. Each style has its own set of main courses and own variety of juices, fruits, and bread.
Guests are welcome to enjoy their lunch and dinner at the revitalizing beach front where there are several tables and chairs set up under native roof cottages. On clear skies, diners can enjoy a romantic evening under a starry starry night, which is best relished with a glass of wine.
The Menu offers a wide range of dishes for a variety of Asian and European inspired cuisines. Daily and weekly specials are the carefully selected and prepared by our Chef. There is also a conveniently located pool bar by the beach that features a wide range of tropical drinks, fresh fruit juices and shakes, cocktails, liquors, and of course local beer.
No matter where you prefer to take your meal or drinks, our team is more than happy to take your order and serve it while you can relax and enjoy your stay.
