    Fuimos a celebrar el cumpleaños de mi padre, lo indicamos en la reservación y lo mencionamos al llegar , aún así quedamos esperando almenos una felicitación. La comida nada espectacular, sabor normal y dos de los platos se nos sirvieron tibios por no decir fríos! Sobrevalorado No lo recomiendo

    Great experience on property at El Mangroove. A variety of menu options including unique starters, entrees, desserts and cocktails. Can do either seafood or red meat or vegan if desired. We had the oysters, which were fresh and lovely plus a sashimi dish then ahi tuna and short rib dish. Nothing disappointed. Our service was timely and attestation. The chocolate souffle w French press coffee was the best way to cap it off.

    Variedad de comida. Buena atención del camarero . Muy retrasados en llevar las entradas y el plato de fondo hasta una hora tuvimos que esperar luego de ordenar. Los platos llegan calientes pero intuyo que hay poco personal para la preparación.

    The wait staff did a tremendous job helping celebrate two birthdays for our family and attentive throughout. For a resort restaurant, they hit the mark!

    Plan to wait a very long time for your food. Service was poor. Took 2 hours from time of reservation to get our food. Had to ask for water and server never came out to update us on the order or apologize for the wait. I had to get up to go find him. Shared our experience with front desk Manager the next morning and he was pretty apathetic. Food was very average for the price. Would not recommend to friends.
