We took a friend there last night (27/03/23) as a send off surprise for her as she will leave the island today. We booked a table in the morning for 6.30pm. When we arrived we were ignored, as usual, by the staff as we stood...and waited to be asked what we wanted. After about 10 mins someone actually asked us why we were there. We said we had a table booked for 3 people for 6.30 and yet he couldn't find the booking, after some awkward waiting he decided to show us to a table and dumped 1 menu and a drinks menu on the unmade up table. He returned 10 mins later to ask if we wanted to order drinks. They arrived quite quickly (5 mins or so) and he then disappeared. After 1 hour my wife went hunting a server and told them no one had taken our food order, he said they were very busy and he would get to us ASAP. There were 6 other tables occupied and also one table with about 12 people on it, not very busy at all. He came reluctantly to take our order about 10 mins later and everything we ordered was "not available tonight" anyway we all chose from the ever decreacing menu and sat and waited for another 30 mins before we finally had something to eat. The curry our friend was served had rice even though she had asked for fries instead so it was taken away again and didn't return for a further 10 mins. To be fair the food was tasty. He then cleared the table and we asked could we see the desert menu at which he said they only had Bread and Butter pudding, after seeing the look on our faces he then said they also had a chocolate dessert that I took that to be a chocolate fondant. Our friend ordered that, she was informed it would take 15 mins to prepare but decided it would be worth the wait, but, guess what? Yep that right, they didn't have any so it was bread and butter pudding all round The whole experience was disappointing and I will think long and hard before putting myself through such an incompetent and unfreindly trail as last night. Ana's has always had indifferent service but last nights was at another level. My advice to everyone would be don't go there. There are many restuarants on this beautiful island, try anyone of them.More

Almost didn't book this place for dinner after we asked a bar woman if we could book a table...she said yes and then just walked off to dry some glasses. She was a misery when we had a drink earlier in the day there too....(She eas the only one in a black shirt 23rd March 23 @ 6pm ish if management is interested) The other staff were great though and we had a tasty couple of burger with good margaritas and wine. It's in a good location on the beach and has a relaxed vibe.More

We ate twice at Ana's on the beach. The dinner on the first night was excellent. Flavorful dish, although food too a long time to be served - expect Caribbean time here. We knew this ahead of time so didn't expect quick service. However, the...second night we ate here, the food was rather bland (chicken curry and red snapper). We were seated before 6:30pm and was there until 9:30pm.More

Loved the view & location. The food isn't served with any sides except over toasted dry toast. We had to ask for butter & jelly. The food was also not served hot & we were 2 of 3 people there for breakfast. The service was...also very slow & no one was there.More

Food was OK but service was dreadful. 20 mins to get anyone's attention. The place was woefully understaffed - the 2 young girls tried their best but management is the issue.

Hello My name is Bren . I visited this business on Thursday 23 February for dinner . and I had a horrible time we was severed by a female who told my mom her name was Reneta which was also at the top of our...check. While waiting for a hour she finally came back to the table where my family and I sat . She took our orders and got us drinks . While we was sitting I proceed asking her if various things on the menu was available. Everything I showed her she said it was unavailable bare in mind I’m a harsh eater I don’t eat any and anything with that being said . My daughter was the one who choosed something for Her and I . We waited max 2 and a half hour just TO EAT and get drinks we just got off the boat and haven’t ate in a long while . While we held our composure and waited .. my mom called back the waitress (Reneta) to ask if we could get 2Coffee and 3 Latte cause we’re big fans of coffee ! While asking: her reply was “Miss you guys are asking for to much I can’t deal with so many orders at the same time fast forward we told her it was okay cause we felt so left out and very very shame . We are trying to invest in the business and this is the type of treatment we got??? Thats crazy! That wasn’t right . After we all ate got everything n was ready to leave so we asked for our Check . She brought it and we gave her $200usd dollars . The bill came up to $182 We was already planning to tip her for the bad customer service we still had a pure heart . We waited for her to come back and she didn’t after she got the check back and the cash . My daughter went up to the front desk next to the bar where we saw it was a cash register my daughter asked if the billed was payed for the female at the cash register replied “Yes mam” so we asked so “where’s our receipt and change? “ the female said it was already given back to your waiter . We said okay and went back to seat . Further more later we glimpsed her when she was serving a meal so I went to her and asked her what’s up with the bill? She said it’s was already cleared so I asked where was the change and a copy that the bill was payed she reached into her waist apron and gave me my receipt and no money . I asked her where was the change she told me that “The change was took by the business to tip workers at the end . I was like huh???? I’ve never heard such thing bare in mind the receipt already has on “Service charge “I went back to the front desk where I got the information from the cashier and asked if I could see a manager her reply was “None is in at this moment mam” I got so angry and left with my family we couldn’t even get wifi for free had to pay 10$ for wifi we felt like we got stolen from .More

They gave us a cocktail menu when we arrived ‘cocktails first then food they said’ 30 minutes later we managed to order our cocktails and were still waiting for the food menu. This place is gorgeous. Great location and lovely restaurant BUT the service is...shocking, slow, rude and inattentive. When we finally ordered food it took forever to arrive. My vegetable curry was watery with some sad courgette and carrot swimming in a tasteless sauce. My husbands chicken curry came as a chicken burger but after nearly an hour wait we really couldn’t be bothered to argue. It was dry and tasteless. So avoid. At all costs. Style over substance.More

Booked a table for four after a few hours resting on the sunbeds and the staff were forever walking around asking if we needed refreshments. The food we ordered consisted of homemade pasta/tagliatelle and it was lovely. Arrived hot and there was no rushing. Even...holiday makers from Sandals next door found themselves eating here. Thoroughly enjoyable.More

It was crowded mid afternoon but a light shower of rain led people to head for home or cruise ship. Consequently we took a vacant table overlooking the beach. Normal prices USD 30 for meal. Wine very very expensive. Great location.
