    Great views of the sunset and after dark. The poke was spectacular, the other food decent, the dessert disappointing. But the view is certainly worth it! Occasionally you can see rays after dark.

    The fish choice is great, great ocean views and fun to people watch - the yoga class was on when we were there. No show for the Rays unfortunately but nice to see the boats out.

    Manta Rays in the bay out back. ‪What restaurant can you witness real wild wild life on a real regular basis? I give this place all the stars for manta rays that aren't in a tank‬

    Nice experience. Resort restaurants can blend together, but this one stands out. Three vegan/vegetarian offerings on the menu. Get a reservation if you want to sit by the edge and see the rays.

    View is great, sunsets are awesome! Make a reservation and be sure to request a waterfront table. The food was hit and miss for us. Service was good. No rays when we were there. Bummed!! :(

    If you want to see the Manta Rays, you can stand out on the balcony adjacent to the restaurant. Snorkel tour boats congregate at 7. Viewing is better after they leave around 8pm.

    We dined at the hotel's main restaurant, Rays on the Bay, where we savored delicious seafood, wine, and panoramic ocean views while warm breezes wafted past our table. Read more

    Service is pretty quick. I'm a Starwood platinum member and these guys are certainly up to par compared to My other visits to other SPG properties. Rib Eye steak was surprisingly legit.

    Make a reservation on OpenTable and ask for waterfront table. When the boats leave around 8:30 you'll see the mantas chowing down with you.

    Grab a beer and get comfy. The manta ray watching at night is like nothing you've ever seen. Amazing!

    Be sure to reserve by phone - they get filled up and don't honor OpenTable reservations!

    Extremely slow service. We literally had to get our own plate and serve ourselves. Lost order. Hotel sold out and yet only 1 restaurant open? Will never come back again.

    After waiting for 30 minutes I was sad too learn that with 6 entrees it was more of a bar by the sea then a dining experience.

    Si bien la comida no estuvo mal es caro para lo que ofrece. Tuvimos que pedir que completen el plato de pasta que habíamos pedido porque faltaban ingredientes. Buena vista al mar.
