    Excellent service. And even though the restaurant is under construction, they did a wonderful job of creating a space that is warm, welcoming, and relaxing. Service was also excellent. Anthony was so attentive and encouraged us to slow down and enjoy our evening.

    The restaurant was relocated to another spot in the resort due to renovation but we still had an amazing experience. Food was superb. Service was excellent. Ambiance was still wonderful even though it was relocated. I will definitely be back next time I’m in Aruba.

    They had moved the ruinas del Mar to where the palm restaurant. They are redoing the floors at the original site. The aviance is not the same, where you usually sitting around a pond of koi fish. The service is still outstanding and the food was very good also.

    The LINGUINI FRUTTI DI MARE was Boston North End Italian worthy. Service was excellent. Other Entrees good but the standout was the Linguini. I would definitely come again.
