In addition, the resort offers six restaurants and bars, including the Peacock Terrace, Maison Des Epices, the Creole-Latin fusion restaurant; La Perle Mediterranean restaurant; Lalin bar; and Torti, the pool and beach bar. Moulin is set to open later this year. It will operate as a cooking school during the day and transform into a restaurant at night.
