    Who doesn’t love a delicious custom made burger? At Vidanta they kick it up a notch with very efficient and polite staff and an upscale atmosphere. The indoor / outdoor dining is great. And you walk home along an expansive beach.

    We had a reservation at 7 PM the sunset at 7:30. Not only was the staff attentive and extremely friendly, but we got to see God‘s handiwork as the sun set . The drinks were custom-made at our table. The food was very good.. We each had a little something different from steaks to catch of the day to octopus. I would definitely recommend it. It’s definitely on the more expensive side of the resorts at Vidanta , but it’s definitely worth it.

    By far the best service I've ever received, coming from someone who has worked in the hospitality industry for over 15 years. I took my 2.5-year-old baby (yes, terrible twos!), and not only did they ensure the ambiance was suitable, they also ensured she was pampered by proactively tailoring her needs, like bringing her food before anything else, proactively bringing her easy-to-use chopsticks, and putting her drink in a plastic cup with a lid and straw. The food was superb; we celebrated Mother's Day, and my wife loves Japanese food. I'm not a big fan, but omg, everything was delicious. We're definitely coming back once my baby girl is 3 years old to use the kids' area.
