It was my first time time dining at The Radiance Cafe. It was a breath of fresh, air literally. Located on the 3rd floor adjacent the Yaamava Pools, it provided a dining experience that is away from the gaming floor. Food was great! I ordered The Radiance Burger & Baja Fish Tacos. The service was impeccable. My server was Anabel and she provided excellent service. Anabel was attentive and provided service that led to a great first impression of The Radiance. The tacos were super flavorful, but the chipotle aioli & pickled onions really highlighted the tacos. The chipotle aioli provided the perfect mild spice and creamy element expected with fried fish tacos. The pickled red onions were spicy/sweet & refreshed the palette with every bite. Solid fish tacos! Thanks Anabel for making my first time visiting The Radiance Cafe a great one!!! read more

The set up is inviting from indoor or patio dining and a great view of the pool and cabanas. We ordered Baja Fish Tacos made with Mahi Mahi, topped with cabbage, pickled red onion. The fish was breaded, lightly fried, moist and flavorful. My friend had a California Club Sandwich on Chibata bread with an order of seasoned french fries. Generous portions were served with each meal, we seriously could have shared one between two people. The staff were very polite and accommodating, shout out to our server Jazmine who checked on us frequently and quick to bring out extra ice water on a hot day. Jereme was the first one to assist us by adjusting the canopy cover to give us more shade, he stopped by a couple of times to see how we were doing and he was not even our server, just providing extra customer service. The Radiance Cafe is open 7 days a week from 9AM to 5PM, enter from the 3rd floor elevators. I MUST mention that guests can become very hungry and thirsty from swimming. It is great to have an outdoor bar to the right and a cafe on the left. However, the cut-off time is right before the prime dinner hour and we were not aware of the early closure. We saw some friends who wanted to have dinner in their cabana, but it was 4:55 PM and the kitchen was closed. Perhaps, the closing time can be adjusted, especially during Daylight Savings Time. Thank you for your consideration. Overall, this is a great place for a staycation, with a Spa nearby and two Jacuzzi hot tubs with lounge chairs and Wi-Fi service. Sincerely, Rosemary read more

What a BEAUTIFUL day & Best of all Greeted with a Beautiful SMILE by Host Jayden. She TOP it with telling me that my family & I favorite waitress was in this Morning Ms Anette She came to greet us with her beautiful friendly SMILE! Taken our orders. Everything we asked for she relay to Chef Betty & Su Chef Jose. On All our California Grilled Chicken Club Sandwiches. LOVED how when opened this season Radiances Menus Improved A LOT Like A "Higher Diamond Level". Shout out to Chef Betty & Su Chef Jose more variety of dishes & all delicious too! And open suggestion or changes for Ex: Bread on sandwiches, Ciabata, Brioche or Sourdough. Since I'm diabetic my doctor highly recommend for diet HEALTHY choice for bread is Sourdough. And Veggies a lot better fresh. On side cause when we received fresh Veggies on sandwiches, veggies all wilted when received. Today we asked Anette if she can asked Chef's to served all veggies on the side. OK! When we put together ALOT better. And most important of all Grilled Chicken cooked so Juicy & TENDER!) Not like before on the Menu just Turkey sandwiches was shredded turn out so dry. My family and I have been enjoying these Grilled Chicken Club Sourdough Sandwiches with all the fresh Veggies on the side. Slice avocado not mashed and the Aoli so creamy compared to before. Cause when we put all the fresh veggies together, turn out SOOO PERFECTLY, YUMMY and DELICIOUS!) Sorry did not get to meet Chef Betty to THANX her personally, she so busy. At least able to meet her Su Chef Jose. Appreciate ALL of you who prepared our Brunch Meal. And Juan the Supervisor this Morning Brunch ran restaurant with EASE!) Thank you again Juan, Anette, Jayden, Chef Betty, Su Chef Jose and All the food runner Britney & all her other colleagues. Highly Recommend. Exceptional Teamwork!) read more

The servers here are always great. I've had Anna Genesis and Dana. All great without exception. Food is large portions and usually hot fresh and tasty. Last visit eggs that I'd requested be scrambled were not good. Overcooked and brown spots. Not sure how they made it out of the kitchen without anyone noticing and saying to themselves.. hmmm that doesn't look right. Mistakes happened and they graciously corrected it. I am reading this before I would've read it lol however I've been there many times and this is the first time I've had an issue. read more

You need a reservation! We didn't know that, but luckily the husb was able to make one within 15 minutes of when we got there. It was the hottest day of the week, so we opted to sit inside. This restaurant is next to the pool. It is on the 3rd floor, close to the spa and fitness area. We had yummy food. It all started with a complimentary berry bread that was placed in a pan. I had the same yummy coffee that I had at another cafe at Yamava. I had the radiance burger hold the tomato and jalapeno aioli with fries, it was my only choice for a side. Both were good. I got a lot of fries, I shared them with the husb. The husb got an avocado toast with salmon, cheese and lettuce on a toasted bread. He liked it as well. The employees were friendly and courteous. We will be back. read more

Radiance Cafe looks great and the food presentation is solid, but the experience was frustrating and didn't make sense. I asked for a simple veggie omelette and was told they "don't stock vegetables." That would be fine except it's clearly not true. The dishes coming out (including ours) had pico de gallo, onions, peppers, mushrooms, avocado, etc. You can literally see the vegetables on top of the omelette and throughout the menu. So the ingredients are there... they're just not willing (or allowed) to put them inside an omelette? From a customer perspective, that's confusing. From a health/dietary standpoint, it means there are basically no true vegetarian entrée options, despite having all the components. It feels like a management policy issue rather than a kitchen limitation, and it puts the staff in an awkward position trying to explain it. The food itself was decent, but the lack of flexibility and consistency is a big miss. If you're vegetarian or looking for lighter, customizable options, this probably isn't the place. read more

First week of summer opening was perfect with the Baja fish tacos. I can't believe the amount of batter minus the Fish that is now served. I told the manager Luis about it and he tried to have it remade to go take one. It looks like the chef was pissed and threw everything in a box. I requested to have my tacos served for me to pack up. Take 2. Standards are dropping everywhere at this establishment and it is disheartening. Thanks but no thanks. Nothing is free here! read more

It's good and the view is really nice. Big open door looking out to the pool. 4stars because I went when Jenny Martínez was there and service was a little slow even though they weren't as busy anymore by the time we got there (a little late). The workers were very nice and accommodating, the food is good but not great. The drinks were too strong but not a good too strong, the tortilla from my husbands burrito tasted very store bought not authentic for a burrito at all, changes the flavor of the whole burrito! Tasted weird, but that's just me with a palate for Mexican food. I honestly went to meet Jenny Martínez and would go back to try some other stuff out :) read more

DJ booth was initially a bit loud but I think they lowered the volume or perhaps I have sustained more hearing loss. The place is clean but be mindful that it's next to the pool/lounge area so a bug or 2 might be circling inside the restaurant. Staff was attentive, patient, and friendly. We did not wait long for food to come out. It was delicious! This is my first choice for dining at Yaamava! It is much more affordable than Serrano Cafe in my opinion. I will return to try other entrees. read more

Good food, generous servings, cheerful ambience, and very efficient staff. The venue was unusually busy at 3pm on a Tuesday afternoon which was not a problem for Server Elena and her partner who had our orders with special instructions served in no time flat. My son and I were quite impressed as we observed Hostess Cheyenne and even the Manager, Latasha who both pitched in by bussing tables themselves to accommodate the crowd of customers pouring in. Great Job and Thank you... Love this place! read more

1st visit on Sunday 7/20/25 - we ordered the following entrees. Wife: Short Rib Hash - 5 out of 5 rating - excellent portions and tasted delicious Me: NY Steak & Eggs 5 out of 5 - cooked to my request and delicious. Server was nice and ambiance is great, overlooking the pool area 2nd visit on Sunday 7/27/25 we ordered the following entrees. Wife: Short Rib Hash- 2 out of 5 rating - this time it was full of potatoes and very little short rib. It looked like a potato plate. Not great at all ! We informed our server about this issue and hopefully it gets corrected for the price you pay. Me: Radiance Burger - 2 out of 5 rating - lacks in flavor. The smashed avocado didn't help either. It needs some type of sauce or dressing to liven up your taste buds. We had this happen before at another restaurant. The chef was lacking some main ingredients and substituted more of the supporting ingredients. If you are lacking on some ingredients, just be honest and say this item is not available today because we ran out of the main ingredient. Don't short change your customers. The word will get around and it will be bad for your business. No one likes to be cheated. We plan on going back in the near future to see if any feedback provided has been taken into considerations and shows improvements. read more

Late post from a trip at the end of August. Opted to sit outside because indoors seemed rather quiet (like eating in a cafeteria or lobby). Turned out to be a few feet closer to the pool bar where the servers had to pick up the (bottomless) mimosas. Servers did their best to keep us filled, but we did notice a delay at times. Tacos were very filling and tasty. Seafood cocktail was very tomato juice based. Added extra citrus to help "freshen" the taste. Big chunks of avocado were great. Self service dessert bar inside was okay, but it seemed like mini desserts from the buffet. Maybe mini pastries would have been better? Gal at the table next to us vomited and the sound of chunks hitting the floor killed the vibe. Not necessarily the restaurant's fault, but a check in would have been nice (especially with how close they were to us and the clean up needed). Maybe some ambient music would have helped. Note: players club earned comps cannot be used for alcohol. read more

Radiance!!! I want you to be open all day and night all year long just so I can have that tasty seafood cocktail!!! Try it!! But tell them easy on the onion and order extra limes and avocado! It's the perfect lunch served alongside the refreshing summer strawberry and orange salad, garnished with a delicious goat cheese accompaniment. It's summer in a bowl!! By far, Radiance serves the best salad I have ever eaten! And poolside BRRUUNNNNCCHHHHH!?!? Yaasss Queen!! $20 endless mimosas?? I'm THERE!! And my servers Anette and Isiah and Gensys are just amazing. Managers Dan, Megan and Mia are all so warm and friendly and keep the pace running beautifully. So if you are in the mood for a luxurious lingering lunch or brunch served by the sparkling poolside , make sure to book your reservations and tell them Ms. Ross sent you!! read more

Delicious poolside brunch dining. Love eating al fresco when the weather permits and you can dry yourself from the pool and walk a few feet to this place. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. The food is great and offers something for everyone. From salads, tacos, burgers, yogurt, sandwiches, to breakfast items such as churro pancakes and chilaquiles. Your table overlooks the sprawling pool deck and it makes for a yummy and fun experience. There's also unlimited drink packages available and a complimentary dessert bar with mini treats. Since the space itself isn't very large reservations are highly recommended, especially Fri-Sun and holidays. Located on the third floor of Yaamava Resort. read more

I have been at Radiance Cafe several times, and each time is worse than before. Food is great but their customer service needs major improvement. You wait forever for them to take your orders and then wait again forever to get your food. You have 10 servers standing around when customers are trying to wave them over for help. One time, I had placed my order, waited 45 minutes, and then only to wave my waitress over to find that she never put in my order. Friendly staff but just highly inefficient and unskilled. read more

I stumbled upon here when my mom and I was looking for some lunch without the long wait in line. Boy did we find the right place! This cafe is perfect if you want to catch the sun outdoor and some shade indoors! I love how relaxing it is sitting while you dine. It's the only place that has outside dining in Yaamava. I ordered the house cheeseburger with Caesar salad and my mom ordered the double Gastro burger. The food came out within 15 mins, exceptional! Now the taste test - the burger is of good since and it barely fit my mouth! The burgers were soft, juicy, full of flavor, and just the right amount of salt! The bartender and servers do a wonderful job in making sure my water was full. As an added bonus, they have strawberries mojito mocktails available at $0! They are going thru some renovation right now but I can't wait til in reopens again I'm March 2023! I read more
