Three restaurants and a choice of bars mean you can go from buffet spreads to beachfront bites and sky‑high cocktails without leaving the hotel.

SeaView Kitchen Buffet Restaurant
The main buffet serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with a mix of international favourites and Spanish dishes, plus show‑cooking stations at lunch and dinner. Open roughly 12 Feb–15 Nov. Expect plenty of choice for families and vegetarian options.

BThai À La Carte Restaurant
A stylish Thai venue open for dinner (usually 20 Feb–10 Nov, depending on occupancy). Tuck into fragrant curries, stir-fries and noodles. Reservations required; smart dress requested.

Bonita Beach Restaurant
A casual à la carte on the sand serving Spanish and Mediterranean dishes at lunch (seasonal). Ideal for a laid‑back paella or fresh seafood with your toes almost in the sand.

Bars
• Bonita Pool Bar & Pool Bar – daytime drinks by the water (seasonal opening).
• Lobby Bar – open late for pre‑dinner aperitifs or a nightcap.
