It proved to be an arduous task to procure a takeaway coffee and a refreshing Smoothie while at the beach. The initial day posed no difficulties, however, on the second day, I was redirected to the outdoor bar. Despite my efforts, I was sent back inside due to a shortage of cups and then back outside again. To my dismay, I was informed that there were no Smoothies available outside.

The beer was enjoyable and the view was stunning. The customer service was exceptional. Overall, I would rate it a 4 out of 5, but unfortunately, they do not accept Visa cards for payment.
