With five dining destinations throughout the property, Moon Palace Jamaica Grande will feature gourmet Asian, traditional Italian and modern Caribbean cuisine. The property will also feature a variety of snack and food options, via an upscale gourmet food corridor. Part farmer's market, part cafe, the gourmet corridor will offer patrons a taste of global cuisines.
