Practical tips for dining and timing
Breakfast at the resort is cooked to order and not included in the room rate; published guidance lists breakfast service and typical additional charges—confirm pricing with the restaurant or front desk. The Water Club/resort fee does not cover à la carte meals.
Because ALBA Spiaggia is seasonal and popular on weekends, make reservations in advance via Resy where possible. Yachtys and pool service are more casual but can be seasonal and weather-dependent.
- To change or cancel dining reservations or discuss dietary needs, email myc.dining@montaukyachtclub.com.
- If you’re staying in a Room, Suite, Room (Water View) or other room types, check arrival time (check-in 4:00 PM) before planning dinner reservations the first night; check-out is 11:00 AM.
- Pool and beach access rules: pool lounge resets after 15 minutes; beach open daily 9:00 AM–8:30 PM and life vest rules apply for water use—check current policies at the front desk.
| Need | What to check or request |
|---|---|
| Dinner reservations | Book ALBA Spiaggia via Resy; weekend demand is higher |
| Breakfast plan | Breakfast is à la carte for an extra fee; check ALBA hours |
| Poolside food | The Pool Bar and Yachtys offer casual service; hours vary seasonally |
