The cracked grouper was 4 stars but everything else was lacking. The sides were not as good as the sides at the Chat and Chill. I'd still recommend visiting for a few beers after a visit to Tropic of Cancer Beach. If you are hungry a plate of food was enough for my wife and I to share.

From my family's experience at Santanna's, it's hard to believe it's rated #1 on Tripadvisor. In general, all of my family members are not picky eaters, so for them to be displeased about a restaurant is unusual. The location for Santanna's is at the far end of the island, and there is nothing else around it. The place is basically... More

We were looking forward to Santana after reading the rave reviews here. It was definitely OK, but not great. Too much oil in the lobster and Grouper that we got. Even the rice was swimming in oil. The cabbage slaw was good. The Marconi and cheese was among the best in the island but it even had a lot of... More

A true Exuma experience! We planned our dinner's carefully to include the top restaurants on this beautiful island. Dee warmly greeted us was we arrived and quickly gave us our choice of four entrees. Each Entree was fried with an onion relish on top. All sides were the same. The food was not bad just not what we expected for... More

This is a MUST do, when in the Exumas. Dee, Mama & Edgar are what I so wish more people were like. They live & work in paradise and bring so much happiness to everyone they come across. Highly recommend.!

My husband and I went to Exuma in April and stayed with friends on their boat for 10 days. Our friends told us how unbelievably perfect the food is at Santanna's so of course it was on our list of must go places. On the day we planned to go the wind was too much for us to take our... More

Very nice out of the way location on Little Exuma. Near the Tropic of Cancer beach. The food is amazing, great drinks and super views and water. Small bakery right beside the restaurant with incredible rum cake.

It's quite a drive down to this place but it's well worth it. The food was the best we ate on the island. I had the lobster, my wife had shrimp and the kids had the chicken. The entree comes with rice and corn and sweet onions - mmmm good! It's on the beach although it's a little rocky but... More

We took a jaunt to Little Exuma and knew that we wanted to check out Santanna's. The place is a cute beach food joint with a fun atmosphere and good service. We enjoyed the shrimp, fish and chicken platters as well as hospitable service. The staff even hands you a photo album to browse their 'famous' clientele!
