Our favorite spot for lunch! Right on the beach and the prices were very comparable to non-beachside restaurants. Great fish ceviche and awesome guacamole. They also make a very good Micheladas. Unfortunately the staff was only so so when we were there.

We have visited here before on past trips. I had fish fillet and my partner had one of their daily specials. Both of our meals were overly salted to the point of not being edible.

Just could not warm up to this place despite the inviting setting. The ceviche, fajitas, and lobster quesadilla were ok but nothing special. The food at our hotel was far superior and more reasonably priced.

It's a beach restaurant, but they have a great chef, I think is a heritage from the italian owner. The prices are average. The view is excellent, and the service is very good. Try the maracuya cocktail

Get the lobster tacos--so delicious. It's sort of a funky little dining room, too. And there are nice chairs on the beach if you want to have a cocktail at sunset.
