Staycation
AMAZING! They must have spent an outrageous amount on the architecture and design since it REALLY looks and feels like you just stepped into Cuba!
Gorgeous soaring ceilings with old-world brass and glass chandelier in the center, 20 feet across, take you into another world, one of grace and charm.
It's HUGE! Not only can you get an incredible meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner (even, a pastry shop!) , but you can choose to be inside in what looks like a Cuban hotel, but there's outside seating on 3 sides with giant umbrellas to shelter you from the sun.
Choose from the outdoor or indoor bar and make sure to get a fresh coconut with a lime twist to quench your thirst and make your time even more delightful.

Food scene
Drinks galore! Like a Chai tea latte customized with coconut milk and boba? Done! But, there must be hundreds of customized combinations from their extensive menu, so spend a few minutes exploring your options. They're ALL good.
This is my go-to for great food and ocean views, especially because of the large outdoor covered patio and great service.
All sorts of salads, sandwiches, but also soups and more. I really recommend my favorite breakfast: poached eggs on their yummy bread with prosciutto and arugula. Tastes amazing and will keep you going for hours of sightseeing.
Only 2 blocks from the ocean, but most travelers miss this gem since it's in a quaint house, belying the expansive interior and exterior and quality food... but the locals know!
