Apart from the restaurants on the Resort, which include an authentic Japanese restaurant, the area around San Roque offers a diverse mix of restaurants, cafes and beach bars (‘chiringuitos’) from Argentinian grills to Indian take-aways. There is something for every taste! There is also a small commercial centre at the entrance to the resort where there is a café.
There is sometimes evening entertainment at the resort and during the Summer months special events such as outdoor concerts featuring flamenco dancing and singing are held. The Casino, about 5 minutes from the Resort, regularly holds special events during the Summer months and has a very good restaurant.
