  • Use Shorebird for breakfast: the buffet is the easiest way to fuel up before beach time or excursions.
  • Go casual for lunch: Sugarfin and Edge Bar are your best poolside/beachfront lunch options.
  • Save time with Frenchman's Roast: grab coffee and pastries here on busy excursion mornings.
  • Mix dining venues throughout your stay: rotate between fine dining (Luna Mar), casual beachfront (Sugarfin), and quick poolside bites (Edge Bar).
Planning rule that works:
If you're staying 3–4 nights, book Luna Mar once for a special dinner, use Shorebird for breakfast daily, and rotate Sugarfin/Edge Bar for casual lunches. If you're staying 5+ nights, add a second Luna Mar reservation or explore more of Sugarfin's dinner menu.
