Restaurant Romantica is fabulous. The food is so fresh and well prepared that no one ever gets disappointed. I loved getting up, walking maybe 20 steps to my morning coffee, fresh mango, papaya, pineapple and egg breakfast while I gazed at the beginning of yet another day of perfect weather and glorious vistas. The menu is unique in that it is more than just local fare, it is actually more international and varied than you can imagine. There is a full bar here, as well as one on the beach at Beach Bar Hawaii. During the holidays such as Carnival, many visitors come to enjoy the great atmosphere and service. It is likely that there will be 10 to 20 yachts anchored near by during these times, and they do come ashore adding even more character and characters to your visit.

When you choose your room from the website, you will note that all are air-conditioned with full baths. Some rooms have views, which almost doesn’t matter since most of your time will be outdoors anyway. All are more than comfortable, clean and will meet all of your needs.

If exploring is desired, you can rent a scooter or a golf cart to get around the island. There are 13 sandy beaches to choose from, even one nude beach, Playa Sueca. It is pretty hot walking, so carry water either way. If you want to snorkel or scuba dive or just go boating to neighboring islands, this too is possible. The Villa Romantica has a glass bottom boat and can furnish you with different site seeing trips. Families enjoy the sun and sea but can also play a round of miniature golf, play chess on Charly’s big chessboard or go for a round of table tennis.

One of the best ways to end an article is to see what other people have to say. Please note that the quotes below are from people long after we discovered and were so pleasantly taken back by Villa Romantica.
