About

The lobster is outstanding, the lobster spaghetti is incredible, and the grilled fish is perfectly cooked—book ahead for best results. Emmanuel and his team run it with care, fresh water showers are available, and the pineapple juice is divine, just plan for a 1.5 hour wait.

    We had lunch here as a group of 13 — 6 adults and 7 children — and everything was absolutely delicious. The lobster was outstanding, the lobster spaghetti was incredible, and the grilled fish was perfectly cooked. Truly, every dish was excellent. You can safely leave your backpacks here, take a short walk by the sea, and then enjoy a wonderful lunch with Alex and his team. Highly recommended!
