Jota
At the heart of Royal Isabela’s culinary philosophy is Jota, our signature restaurant where farm-to-table isn’t a trend, it’s a way of life. Helmed by award-winning Chef Jeremie Cruz, Jota draws daily inspiration from on-site organic gardens, local farmers, and nearby fisheries to craft dishes that reflect the island’s abundance and soul.
Dine beneath the stars or under soft morning light on the open-air terrace, where the sound of the ocean and the scent of fresh herbs make every meal feel both rooted and elevated.
