"Excellent restaurant with great service . They happily accommodated our big group and served the delicious food for all at the same time.
Paella was outstanding!"
Patricia Collins
"Nice man met us at the menu outside and explained the menu. Bit suspect as not had that before in the resort. Patas Bravas starter covered in aioli, asked for it without, came back with the marginally less aioli, sent back then returned with just potatoes and a bottle of hot sauce! 😂 rest of meals ok apart from inedible‘homemade’ canalloni. Awful."
Ben Riding
"The owner of the home we rented told us that this is one of the restaurants where the locals dine. It was delicious!! The food was so good! This place is rather empty compared to some of its neighboring restaurants but I’m not quite sure why because it was much better! Delicious fresh seafood! We went several times."
