Mario Olivio FloresMarch 9, 2012Be careful where you sit. The area directly in front of the bar get super windy at night. Cuidado a donde te sentas, hay mucho viento en fUpvoteDownvote
- AmazingNicaragua.comNovember 30, 2010I recommend eat octopus or lobster, they have a good service and good sea view!UpvoteDownvote
Miloslav DivišJanuary 23, 2018Insanely overpriced, plus you would be overcharged with extra VAT and tip and as a bonus very bad exchange rate. Would not be so hard to just show fair prices. Avoid!UpvoteDownvote- Great food especially the seafood!!!
