Following the tremendous success of last year’s debut, Chef Rocco returns to the Caribbean’s top beachfront resort to once again blend his signature cuisine with the vibrant local flavours of Nevis.

During the festive three-day residency, Chef Rocco will collaborate with the Resort’s Executive Chef Daniel Hurtado and his culinary team to craft an immersive gastronomic journey, showcasing the island’s rich bounty.
