What a fantastic experience at Akasha. The service is excellent. Cocktails are wonderful. And the food is 10/10. Had the catch of the day. Empanadas are a must have. Stone crab claws. And all reasonably priced. Highly recommended

Akasha is a true hidden gem in San Pedro. After taking a free 5 min boat ride over to Aruna Resort, Akasha is a fantastic over water bar and restaurant experience. Chef Carlos is serving up the best food in San Pedro. The staff were friendly and attentive with top shelf cocktails at a reasonable price. Our crew loved the catch of the day. Burger. Fish and chips. The smoked old fashioned was delicious. Highly recommended.
Akasha RestaurantResponded on 28 December 2024
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your visit, from the boat ride to the friendly service, top-notch cocktails, and delicious dishes. Your recommendation means so much to us, and we look forward to welcoming you and your crew back!
