  • Use The Market strategically: it's perfect early in the trip and on days you're doing golf, beach time, or off-property excursions.
  • Match dinner to your evening plan: if you want a celebration, choose Manila or LaFrida. If you want easy and relaxed, choose Zao Shen or The Market.
  • Keep casual meals casual: The After is your "stay in the action" value play—especially on golf days.
