Se siente la pesca fresca, la chica y todos te sonríen al llegar/atenderte (primer lugar en Huatulco que siento esa calidez). Área de oportunidad en el tiempo en que te preparan los alimentos así que ven con paciencia. Todo excelente, precios razonables y muy buen sabor en sus platillos

La calidad de los platillos es excelente y su precio vale la pena ya que es algo accesible a comparación de otros lugares cercanos. Los cocteles de camarón muy sabrosos y los drinks muy bien preparados! La atención muy buena por parte del personal.
