AMAZING beach club and restaurant in Cupecoy on Mullet Bay. Upscale, you do have to pay for comfy beach lounges but its all worth it. The food is more reasonable than some of the SXM beach clubs to it evened out! Will return next winter. Make a res in advance for beach chairs and for the restaurant.

Love the view of the marina from this rooftop restaurant. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. We had the snails and the lobster linguine special for the evening. Portions were large and entrees very delicious. Loved everything. It did take a very long time though to wave someone over to pay our bill and then he forgot about us and we had to ask again. Otherwise highly recommend this restaurant for dining in Marigot.
