What's not to love about this beach? It has an iconic bar in an iconic location. We went there for a party and it definitely lived up to our expectations. The food was served buffet-style and was incredibly well-prepared. The drinks during sunset were perfect, and we got to watch the sun go down. Overall, it was absolutely fabulous!

My son and I had a great time at this beautiful beach, which conveniently has a charming bar nearby. We spent a good portion of the day indulging in refreshing drinks, delicious food, and swimming in the water. Additionally, there is a small shop and supermarket right on the beach where you can find fresh fruits.

We had an amazing time at this beach. We arrived on a yacht and anchored right in front of the restaurant, allowing us to have both lunch and dinner there. The restaurant offers a wide range of healthy options in small portions, along with excellent cocktails. The Whispering Angel wine is a bit pricey at $80. The atmosphere is perfect, with something happening every night. When we arrived on a Friday, there was a DJ playing music from 9:30pm until late. Everyone was dancing barefoot, creating a lively atmosphere. You never know who you might run into, so keep an eye out for familiar faces. The service is relaxed yet attentive. Overall, this beach experience was a highlight of our trip!

The beach has a fantastic atmosphere and feels like your own private spot. The drinks are a bit pricey but they are definitely potent. It's also interesting to see the bartender hand peel fruits right in front of you for the drinks. The dinner service is quite good. However, the tuna I ordered was a little drier than I would have preferred. But the French fries and appetizers more than made up for it.
