Sunday evening was the crab races and fire dancers and on our last evening before heading home. Our server was Alex on our last night and he was so polite and friendly. We really enjoyed our conversations with him and the... More

We ate here every day for a week as this restaurant sponsored a local freediving competition in the West Bay area called, The Caribbean Cup. The service is what stuck out. I forget our server's name but he wears a straight billed baseball cap, earrings and has some tattoos on his arms. If you spot him, ask for him. HIs... More

So we're walking on the beach and see this 2 rib plates for $20 on a Saturday night. Seems a little low priced and a tiny bit iffy. The rustic environment and live music does suck one in. So we rolled the dice. Wow! MUCH better than anticipated and for $20 for two people to have dinner was perhaps the... More

We had a great time on Sunday night watching the fire dancers and the crab races. If you can, get out there and support the crab races. The funds go to a charity that provides formula to mothers with HIV so that they don't transmit the virus to their newborn babies. It's worthwhile and will only cost you a couple... More

They have something going on here every night of the week. From fire-dancers, crab races, live music to movies on the water. This is a great place to come and party.

The Thirstly Turtle was a great little spot to have lunch and a drink in the evening. They have great lunch specials that won't cost you much. The happy hour there was also great!

Great, simple food and lots of it! Especially enjoyed the coconut shrimp, grilled catch of the day (sea bass) and the entertainment.

A fun environment on west bay, the pizza is surprisingly good for island fare... the drinks are pretty good as well, and they have some entertainment that varies here and there (sometimes good, sometimes "meh"). Really some of the better pina coladas I've had though too. Owners and staff extremely friendly, and there is a TV at the bar as... More
