I enjoyed this place a few times, once for a great meal with friends (great nachos and fresh fish) and other times for drinks and free entertainment. I definitely recommend a visit here.
There were good vibes here and it’s across from the water on the main path.

Everything I had here was enjoyable (except for the omelette). The pizza was amazing, so was the breakfast Sandwich on coconut bread, and the fresh smoothies.
The best part was the CHEESECAKE. It is so much better here because of the humidity levels. It’s an absolute must.
The staff were friendly and it was nice to sit on the sand in the sun if we wanted. There were wooden chairs and hammocks to enjoy. The chef (owner?) was very kind.
It was nice that they had filtered tap water too. And you didn’t have to go to the restaurant to use it. It was on the side after the stairs to go up.
I highly recommend this restaurant. (They also have wifi)

Maybe it was because we just got off a boat and were in desperate need of nutrition and refreshments... but this unassuming beachside cafe served the most amazing, tender, juicy lobster on a coconut roll I have ever tasted! It was so good we went back again just to be sure. And it was not a fluke, that cook knows how to cook a lobster perfectly! It's almost poached, al dente, not rubbery and dry. So so good! Highly recommend this place!

You can choose from our healthy options (numerous vegetarian options available) or throw caution to the wind and pamper yourself with our savory sauces and maybe a roasted Coconut cookies.

We offer some of the best food, service and value on the island in a remote beach setting. Avoid the tourist crowds and drop in.

This is a beautiful spot and was perfect for our family. Our bungalows were very comfortable, the staff were all extremely friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. We have stayed at several eco-resort and found this one exceptional.

Color View serves excellent seafood and very good pizzas. Their lobster with garlic is so good - served with coconut rice a small salad and a different side each night (fried taro, pumpkin, mashed potatoes, fries, plantain) all for around US$6. For breakfast try their lobster scrambled egg with coconut gallo pinto, coconut bread toasted, fruit and coffee ($3).
The staff are friendly and welcoming. We often ate here twice a day over a couple of weeks. When we introduced people to the restaurant they would come back again.
Great view over the bay, especially of sunset

Simple cabins but in the perfect location over looking the water. The cabins caught a fantastic breeze. Outside shower was an experience - better than i expected. Screens on the windows a bonus (I've stayed elsewhere on the island with no such luxury). Great balcony to relax on a hammock in.
The bar at the logged could have been better stocked and a decent happy hour would be nice.
I'd stay here again

So so good! We had the lobster curry.and garlic lobster and both were amazing, served with rice, plantains and a cabbage salad. Everything was delicious and you seriously can't beat the price. Only recommendation would be to eat there early (before 5pm) or later in the evening. We managed to go during some kind of peak mosquito time close to 6pm and we were seriously attacked as we ate. Bridgett was wonderful providing mosquito coils but we did eat quickly and got out of there.

You need to make a reservation - just ask for Darinia around the village, or visit her house and make a reservation. Its a little hard to find - basically walk north on the west side of the island and go towards the Las palmeras...MoreElina and Gustav! Thank you very much for your review. You put the exactly directions of my house :-) thank you for that.
