Everyone that ate the seafood mofongo got incredibly sick that night and we had a wedding the next day to attend so it was bad. I would not return here.

After reading all of these rave reviews, I’m thinking we must’ve had an unusual experience. The food was not very flavorful (we got mofongo and arroz con pollo) and service was very slow. We were there after dark so we didn’t get to enjoy the view. The interior design of the restaurant is very nice. In my opinion, if you are looking for local Puerto Rican dishes and don’t mind skipping the ambiance, there are better options just outside the resort.
