User reviews

"The beach was a lovely and inviting spot that was clearly well-maintained. The spacious terrace boasted stunning views of the ocean, and the servers were friendly and attentive. However, while the appetizer was enjoyable, it would have been helpful to know that it had a significant amount of spice. Unfortunately, the first courses were rather bland and overcooked."

"The beach is located in a wonderful spot by the sea, and they serve some really good pizza."
