Jade is a dinner-only a la carte restaurant, specializing in Asian cuisine, while a steakhouse and authentic Mexican cooking round out the dinner-only a la carte options.

Shows are staged in the evening, and the nightclub stays open until the early morning hours.

Recreation: There are many ways to have an active vacation here, ranging from tennis on 2 lighted, hard-surface courts, to scuba diving lessons in the pool, volleyball, kayaking, windsurfing, body boarding, catamaran sailing, and snorkeling. Relaxation is fundamental on the poolside lounge chairs, and a swim-up bar adds some fun to the art of doing nothing. The Renova Spa features a full menu of indulging treatments, massages, and beauty services. An 18-hole golf course is located within the complex, and a playground, kids' pool, and a mini-club the kids entertained.
