Are here with our team from Fort Wayne Indiana. We did a family style plating of the starters! I would highly recommend the Octopus Carpaccio for a starter! The fish sticks were plain and un seasoned so I would skip these. I had the cream soup and it was delicious, I also did the 2.5 lbs lobster sautéd in garlic butter, that is a MUST HAVE! My fiancé got the chicken Cesar salad and it was also delicious. Our waiter, Dario, was AMAZINGz make sure to ask for him.

I really enjoyed the food and had a great service. The menu offers a fare amount of choices including seafood and meat. There is a $50 cover per adult that is applied to your bill, which is also fare to me considering that we stay at the beach with the possibility of getting a Bali bed, lounge chairs with umbrellas or dining table with a tente like roof. Beach towels included, showers and of course full bathrooms, which are kept very clean. We had the DJ experience today which was a plus. And every plate was tasty. I didn’t like the Apperol Spritz I got but everything else was great and delicious, generous portions. The beach was clean and our help, Fabian, was kind, helpful and friendly. He went on and beyond to help and let us to have a wonderful day!

Jelly fish was excellent all because of Brian (Mexico) he was a wonderful waiter and super fun! The restaurant itself already was such a wonderful vibe with a beautiful turquoise view of the ocean. The food was also so delicious. We ordered the shrimp with rice and the chicken with tostones. Many drinks were had and great vibes everywhere. ❤️
