    Excellent restaurant! We had a great breakfast with many options, but dinner was outstanding! We met Chef Bruno who whipped up the best ceviche we’ve ever had! This chef is a rock star! All the other dishes were also amazing! The service which is just as important as the food was great as well. Xavier. Joao and the manager Luis who we had a great conversation with were super attentive and helped make it a wonderful experience. We will be returning a few more time before we depart. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    We enjoyed this restaurant on the last night of our stay. The octopus ceviche is absolutely wonderful and our daughter really enjoyed the potato wedges. My husband got the fish of the day which was mahi mahi (so tasty!) and I LOVED the smoked trout salad. We had a great three person table overlooking the pool and ocean

    We went for dinner service during tapas week and the food was excellent. I had the paella, my husband had the pork chop and our daughter had the pasta. We all loved everything. The server was incredibly attentive. We went at night so we didn’t get the view but loved the open air concept.
