   I hesitated when I booked this, but we were here for New Years and I couldn’t find a reservation. They were practically the only restaurant that had availability. The reviews were not good and our house manager said not to go. We went anyway and I can say it was delicious! The restaurant was on the beach, staff were delightful, and the trumpet player was fantastic!! We are so glad we went! I guess they upped their game! Please go while you’re here! It’s not in a great part of town, but so what!

   Absolutely loved Bugaloo's! The location was beautiful and just perfect for our multigenerational family. The service was wonderful and the owner was charming, informative and made our time there so welcome! We enjoyed all of our dishes and drinks and singing along to the saxophonist playing that evening.

   Food was awesome! Had conch ceviche, conch sampler player, avocado and conch, and grouper. The dessert was key lime pie and rum cake. We will definitely be back.

   The atmosphere is fantastical island vibe, and that’s the main draw, but something’s not quite kosher here. I’ve been coming to T+C for about 15 years, and it’s usually the hotel restaurants that add the mandatory tip/service fee of 15% to account for foreigners who aren’t accustomed. To note: I’ll always tip 20, 25– or an even greater percent— for good-great service. I noticed they added 15% here today, so I started calculating back from 22%— when Julene relayed that the “service fee” was not, in fact, the tip- that that was collected “for the owner and the bar”. So, am I expected to tip their 15% AND my 20-22%? A 35-37% tip? Sorry, but won’t be back + others should know. Too bad, I liked this place.

   What a gem! The staff is outstanding. The best coconut shrimp I've ever had! Wish we had time to eat there twice!

   We never dined at Bugaloo’s due to a police incident. We taxied from our resort and upon arriving the restaurant was closed by the police. It cost us $80 for four of us and then another $80 for the taxi to take us to another restaurant. An extremely disappointing experience.

   We had a very nice dinner at Bugaloos. Good drinks, tasty food, just was very surprised no one else was there, we had the restaurant to ourselves!

   Took the wife for her birthday and had an amazing time. Alexander was a great host, they were getting ready to close and our taxis was running behind. They stayed with us 15 mins after the restaurant closed until our taxis came. Recommend this place! Great people, great food and great vibes!!
