We ate here a few times during our holiday and loved the location, right on the beach. There's not much of a selection of vegetarian food on the island and these guys do well to accommodate. Friendly staff and Chris and Akisi, the owners are lovely. More

This restaurant is perfect for the waterfront views, excellent cuisine and service. We called ahead for reservations and we were so fortunate to secure a waterfront table. When we arrived, the restaurant was packed and we could see why. We had such a romantic dinner while watching the sunset. This restaurant is a must during your visit! More

(Msg. to bartenders of Raro - they are not the same !!)That was a winner straight away for me ! Sitting on the beautiful beachside... More

Hard to get to at night unless you have a car. We would have liked to go during a music night but didn't want to drive on our motorbike. Too far in the dark and after drinks. We went for lunch and were the only ones there. The waitress was very informative and sat with us and chatted. A very... More

For a fantastic evening this is a place to visit. Staff are very friendly and the meals are great. Make sure that you get there in time to watch the sun set, and if its entertainment evening then prepare yourself for a late one. Always had an enjoyable evening. More
