Nine international a la carte restaurants, a buffet and a beach grill sit on the plan. The names run Agave, The Kitchen Table, Oregano, Basmati, Spice, Chez Isabelle, Las Olas, The Lobster House, The Grill and Magna, the menus moving between Mexican, rustic Italian, Mediterranean and Far Eastern cooking. Eleven bars include Martini, Stars, Blue, Aroma and a cigar lounge.

Seven swimming pools total 55,500 square feet, five of them heated in winter, with four outdoor hot-water jacuzzis. Miilé Spa has a hydrotherapy circuit, two spa suites and 15 indoor treatment rooms.
