    Food was ok! Drinks were very good! Photos are better than actual. We enjoyed the food at Andaz much more, especially CHAO Pescao. And without the long drive.

    The live music was super fun for our kids and the food was delicious. Great ambiance as the sun went down and they lit tiki torches and outdoor lights. We were surprised it wasn’t busy!

    The food was okay overall but after staying at the Four Seasons and dining there, this was a definite downgrade with the food quality.

    It's a beautiful location. It's difficult to get to, but it's worth the narrow, winding roads. The food was delicious, and the service was impeccable.

    The food was excellent. It was not crowded at all. Compliments to the chef. The Christmas decorations looked like they came from Walmart. Restaurant is much more elegant without them. A Caribbean vibe overall

    Bad energy from the moment we arrived. Overpriced everything, a weird cheesy cruise ship atmosphere/live music, and confused staff. Brought me the wrong entree, then the right one (prawn salad) had chewy prawns and a big pile of underdressed greens covering all the substance - a few slices of avocado, mango, onions, hearts of palm… for $20. Service was odd. No one seemed sure of what they were doing. Bugs biting, too. The dining tables seem to replace pool loungers from the day, as pool is right there and I kept expecting staff to fall in (might have made the experience more fun lol). There was a band playing soft rock (Sweet Caroline, Piano Man, other songs best left for karaoke), and the weirdest thing was that the tv mounted next to the stage had a Yule log (fireplace)!!!! $200 later (4 drinks, one appetizer, 2 entrees), We couldn’t wait to get out of there. The shuttle drivers laughed in obvious sympathy as we scrambled onto the vehicle to get back to the Andaz…. And as we were about to leave, the couple the shuttle had just dropped off rushed back to it to leave. Yikes!!!! Definitely stick with the restaurants on premises at the Four Seasons or Andaz—so much better and even less expensive. Wish I had read into the reviews first and hope this helps spare you.

    Food and service were good, but constrained by limited “barbecue night” menu, which we didn’t anticipate. Music too loud - conversation-stopper
