- Dress appropriately: smart casual attire is recommended—collared shirts for men, no swimwear or beachwear
- Use the Steak House for celebrations: if you're celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or special event, this is your best option
- Ask about other dining venues: check with resort staff about additional buffet options or casual dining spots during your stay
