While mom and dad are indulging in beachside Caribbean cocktails, teens can chill by the pool tables, hang out by the football pitch, take advantage of the free Wi-Fi in the lobby, or experience R&R right alongside their parents.

Or, enjoy the ambiance and piano tunes at the Avenue Bar or socialize at the trendy Red Lounge bar with more bumping DJ tracks.
After a fun-filled day in the sun, refuel with cuisine from The Market Place international buffet with outdoor terrace or opt for one of the specialty restaurants. The open-style O’Grille restaurant is where you’ll find Jamaica’s famous jerk chicken and other Caribbean favourites while enjoying views of the sea and pool during lunch hours. For dinner, choose from 876 Prime steakhouse, Rasta Pasta serving Italian specialties like pizza, pasta, wine, and soup, or enjoy show cooking and a blend of Japanese, Cantonese, and Peruvian cuisines at Nikkei. There is also 24-hour room service for those romantic breakfasts or late night snacks.
At night, live music and shows entertain guests of Melia Braco Village while romantic sunsets and strolls along the beach make people wonder why they would ever leave.
