Practical tips: reservations, dress code and timing
Reservations are recommended for Serẽa, Veranda, and Nobu, especially on weekend evenings or during holiday periods. Serẽa accepts reservations through OpenTable and has a separate large-party inquiry form.
Dress codes across the resort range from Resort Casual for Veranda and Serẽa to flip-flop–friendly casual at Sun Deck and ENO. When in doubt, the general guidance is comfortable seaside attire for daytime and smart casual for dinner at the refined restaurants.
- Ask the concierge about same-day availability and current hours; hours can change seasonally.
- Large parties often require advance inquiry or buyout arrangements — Serẽa provides a form for groups of 12+.
- If you have dietary requests or allergies, contact the restaurant ahead of time so the kitchen can prepare.

| Reserve an oceanfront table | Book ahead (OpenTable or phone); ask concierge for help |
| Dress appropriately | Resort Casual for most; flip-flops OK at casual spots |
| Pool access | Bring your room key; Beach Village pools restricted to that enclave’s guests |
