We were there on the Caribe side this summer. I would not recommend the Japanese restaurant. However, the French and Italian restaurants were awesome...terrific food and service!!!!!!!
I also recommend the spa!! ....very reasonable in price and very relaxing!!! We are going down this Sat (Oct 9). I spoke with the Dir. of Guest Services yesterday afternoon. She said several of the ala carte restaurants are not open. However, you could get whatever food you wanted in any of the restaurants you wanted...just have to ask.
