You will most definitely not go home from your holiday at Lifestyles Hacienda Resort hungry! There is a restaurant to meet every taste, and they are all yours for the choosing (including one that you are allowed into only by being the guest of a vacation club member!) There are several ala carte restaurants to choose from, as well as the international buffet.
Indochine - this open air Asian-Fusion restaurant is located near the Tropical buildings, and overlooks the ocean.
Bellini - this is an Italian restaurant, located near the Crown Residence Suites section of the resort. From here you can see both ocean and majestic mountains! This ala carte restaurant is also open for lunches, with no reservations required (the cheese pizza and all the pastas are perfect for kids' lunches!)
Trapiche - this hilltop Mexican restaurant is located near the Villa Reception area, right next door to the supermercado (general store.)
Blue Lagoon - also overlooking the ocean and located near the Tropical buildings, this open air restaurant specialized in steak and seafood. Exensive remodeling in 2009 added a fully glassed in VIP only area, perfect to view the sea and stars in air conditioned comfort.
VIP Gourmet - this restaurant is exclusively for Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club members, as well as for guests of members staying as VIP's. You may choose indoor or outdoor seating. Here you will find a dress code that requires males to wear long pants and a shirt with a collar (we found khakis and polo shirts acceptable). Females are to wear dresses, skirts, or long dress slacks with a blouse or sweater. (we also found nice capri length pants to be acceptable.) Make sure you pack the appropriate attire to get in, since guests who don't meet the dress code may be turned away.
For each of the above ala carte restaurants, dinner reservations are required. Guests may make their dinner reservations by noon for that evening's meal, but it is a good idea to make them a day in advance to be sure you get the restaurant you want on the night you want. Many guests actually go ahead and reserve their choices for the entire week right away at the beginning of their holiday.
Casablanca - an open air restaurant, this casual buffet serving international cuisine is open for all 3 meals. Guests can dine here without reservations, and can come and go as they please during service times. The Casablanca often has "theme nights" where the menu is based on cuisine from a certain part of the world, etc. Guests can always find something they like here, from the pastas to the chef carved meats to the soft serve ice cream!
