Description:

Explore the wild jungle without leaving the resort area. This restaurant in the Plaza by the Sea Shopping Center offers you the opportunity to live in the heart of this natural refuge for a couple of hours. You will coexist with the animals (albeit, only animatronics) and taste the delicious vegetables and meats prepared with the special exotic recipes. In particular, try out the salads and the desserts. You can get a beautiful souvenir at their gift shop, but expect high prices. This is also a good place for children.

Fun for the whole family and a great way to learn about marine life.

There are a variety of exhibits about marine life, and several of them allow you to touch the animals- such as sea stars and turtles- in their tanks. You can also hop into the water with some dolphins and swim with them as they play. If you are really daring, take a turn feeding a shark from within a transparent tank- it's a close as you can get! Also, you can enjoy the bird sanctuary and pet the colorful macaws that will perch on your shoulders as you walk through. At the end of the day, enjoy the aquarium's restaurants or take a trip through the posh Hotel Zone to enjoy the sun and surf.
