    The ambience is spectacular. You are high up and feel that you are overlooking and immersed in a jungle. The tree near our table housed a few iguanas who chased each other above us on the rooftop. They were quite entertaining. The food was excellent, and the server was very gracious. Although we stayed on the island, if we were on a cruise ship, I think this would be a fabulous excursion.
