About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Romantic
  • Great for scenic views
Located seaside at Harbour Village Beach Club, La Balandra Bar & Restaurant gives guests the feeling of sailing on the Caribbean Sea.

La Balandra delights guests with breathtaking views and fresh, imaginative cuisine using in-season ingredients delivered right to the restaurant's dock.

Dinner guests have the opportunity to experience over-the-water "aquarium seats" towards the bow of the ship, where LCD lights penetrate through the water to reveal sea creatures swimming by. Dining is available on the beach with advanced reservation, subject to availability, please contact the hotel if interested. An additional set-up charge applies, depending upon party size.

For guests staying outside of the resort, please plan to arrive no more than 15 minutes prior to your reservation. Please make a reservation by phone for parties larger than 6. Harbour Village is a private beach club. Dining at the restaurant does not include the use of our beach or facilities. Thank you.

    A very nice place with a good staff. But the food isn’t worth the money (this time). The restaurant has a very nice view.

    Un restaurant avec un joli emplacement. La carte rien d'exceptionnelle, mais les prix un peu surfait pour les plats proposés.

    We had a group of 8, and after we paid the bill and were walking out they tried to shake us down for a 20% surcharge. (We had already given a 20% tip even though the service was very slow.) The food and location were great, but the attitude of the manager (he couldn’t seem to decide whether the surcharge applied to groups of 8 or more, or for groups of greater than 8) left a bad taste.

    Breakfast was delicious and so enjoyable in the lovely setting by the sea. The surrounding gardens are breathtaking. The security and privacy offered by the congenial staff makes one feel cozy and relaxed. From the moment we entered the grounds of Harbour Village, we had a sense of relaxation and enjoyment that continued through the day. In other words, what a lovely way to start the day!

    We are glad you chose to start your day with us and are so glad you enjoyed the experience. Thank you for your review. We hope to host you on a return visit.
