Enjoy gourmet dishes in the resort's elegant Restaurant, lunch at The Grill, or dine in total privacy on your own terrace, courtesy of 24-hour Room Service.
The Restaurant
The opulent dining room offers dramatic, open-air dining with panoramic beach and ocean views that add to the enjoyment of the delicious meals, whether a heady dish of authentic osso bucco or a grilled ahi tuna with plant salad and Creole sandy ground sauce.
World-class cuisine combines fresh, lively island flavors with classical French techniques. The wine cellar boasts one of the most extensive collections in the Caribbean.
The Champagne Bar
La Samanna's Bar provides a cozy spot for cocktails before or after dinner. Plush upholstery is set-off by a multi-hued Indian Wedding Tent that hangs from the ceiling providing exotic ceiling art. While long time bartender Orlando Philgene mixes up his signature drink, the Baie Longue Blue and provide rum tastings for the aficionado of Caribbean spirits.
Wine Cellar
The wine is a delicate matter, rich, almost solemn. You drink it slowly and moderately. During this moment you realize the importance of the glass.
A crystal glass colorless with no ornament would be preferred. T he glass should allow you to admire the wine's color and clearness. While the wine is being served you should be able to admire its color, that is its "robe," its smell and its odor, that is its "nez."
Wine and alcohol are conjugated in space, they are born, the first more than the second one, from one Soil, one Region.
The Beach Bar
Located on the beach, this al-fresco lunch bar allows guests to keep their feet in the sand while enjoying snacks, salads and cocktails as well as providing beach beverage/lunch service to the beach chaises. The Beach Bar also features Lobster Barbeques on Monday nights.
