Emotions Juan Dolio by Hodelpa transforms the all-inclusive dining experience into a gastronomic adventure along the Dominican Republic's stunning coastline. 

With seven restaurants and multiple bars spread throughout the property, guests discover diverse culinary options that cater to every palate and occasion, all while enjoying the resort's beachfront setting just 17 miles from Las Americas Airport.

The resort's all-inclusive package covers most dining venues, allowing guests to explore different flavors without watching their wallets. 

Two main buffet restaurants anchor the dining program: Ergo's, positioned directly on the beach with air-conditioned comfort, and Tropico, offering similar buffet-style service for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Both serve meals from 6 am through 10 pm and maintain a casual resort dress code.

For those seeking more intimate dining experiences, the resort offers several specialty restaurants that require reservations.

Oregano, Amici and Lolita each accommodate 75 guests nightly from 7 pm to 10 pm in air-conditioned, smoke-free environments with casual resort attire. These venues provide alternatives to the buffet experience while remaining included in the all-inclusive package.

Beverage enthusiasts will appreciate Milwaukee, the resort's craft beer concept bar that celebrates brewing traditions with local beer included and international selections available at minimal cost. The bar operates daily from 3 pm to midnight, creating an ideal gathering spot for evening socializing. 

Coffee lovers can visit One, the resort's complimentary coffee shop featuring international coffee selections from 10 am to 11 pm daily.

The gastronomic journey does not end there. Three additional specialty restaurants offer unique flavors and intimate dining experiences with a minor surcharge. 

Bigaro offers an upscale beachfront dinner experience with resort elegant dress code requirements, serving 40 guests nightly in an outdoor setting where smoking is permitted. 

Oak provides a sophisticated wine and cheese pairing experience from 3 pm to midnight daily. 

Additionally, Pitahaya operates as a market offering organic snacks, fruits and products for on-site consumption or to take back to your room. It’s open from 10 am to 10 pm.
