Occidental Specialty Restaurants: what would you like to dine tonight?

Food choices abound at the all-inclusive resorts of Occidental Vacation Club. What and where you eat it can be a different choice every day, from an international buffet in a casual setting, or a family lunch or snack by the pool. But what about those special occasions... anniversary or birthday? Occidental Specialty Restaurants are part of your all inclusive service. The decision is yours.

Craving Italian? Several Occidental Resorts can satisfy that desire. At the Grand Pagagayo, Costa Rica, The Italian, with its sunset views, is the perfect setting for expertly prepared Italian favorites. L'Olio at the Grand Aruba features a variety of popular, Italian specialties, and boasts a wine selection from around the world. Tantalizing Beef Carpaccio and Lasagna Florentine lure repeat dinners again and again to Via Veneto at the Grand Punta Cana.

 And Asian?  D'Oriental is a serene, Japanese/Asian fusion restaurant found at several of the resorts. Chefs there prepare an exquisite selection of seafood, pork, duck, and vegetarian specialties.  Zen at the Grand Aruba features a sushi bar and private dining "Tatami style." Get your Zen on!

Not enough choices? Seafood, Steak House, Caribbean and Mexican restaurants are found at many of the resorts. But perhaps the "Piece de resistance" is Las Ventanas, Royal Hideaway Playacar's signature gourmet restaurant in Rivera Maya, Mexico. Read what diner, alienpilot of Texas, posted on TripAdvisor.

La Hacienda, Grand Xcaret

"We just had the experience of our lives at Royal Hideaway. The "Chef's Table" in Las Ventana's restaurant is IN the kitchen behind glass windows, ceiling to floor. Max of 6 people. Live video feed closeups of the preparations on a flat screen in your dining area. The chef and assistant chef present these creations to you and describe them. Wine pairings are available. Absolutely, the high point of our vacation. If you are a "foodie" you will go crazy! Do it!"
