    Loved the view of the ocean with the largest sand bar I have ever seen. The ceviche with passion fruit was very tasty. Also tried the fish filet with tostones so good.

    For days that you can't muster the 2-hour drive to Buenaventura, this venue sits at a beach just 30 minutes from the city center. What it lacks in beach quality, it makes up for in proximity. They have private cabanas directly on the beach if you want to step away from the loud music at no extra cost. Their fish fillet in garlic sauce is excellent, and chocolate cake is pretty good for those with a sweet tooth. I would highly recommend their passion fruit juice as well. Overall, it's 80% of the Playa Santa Clara experience without the torturous journey there and back. Highly recommended!

    Wonderful spot to relax, enjoy the views and have excellent fresh fried fish! Note: Sunday afternoons are very busy which translates into music at high volume and exceptionally slow service. Much better at off peak days/times.

    Very nice place directly at the beach. I enjoyed the music and the drinks. My burger was ok. It was solid but nothing special. Would give it 4/5. All together I still give 5 stars and will come again.

    Great food and cold drinks. Setting right on the beach with direct view of beach and ocean. If you can schedule your time, go during high tide but low tide is interesting. Be sure to take walk on beach. Music can be a little loud for my taste. Fun place to play games and have cold drinks with your friends.

    We’ve spent here Sunday afternoon. Extremely loud music, therefore people are just literally screaming around the table. We ordered grilled fish, it came very big one, will be sufficient for 2 person :) Nice place, relatively quick service, relaxing Ambiente overall. Service don’t speak English but are open and friendly.

    It's a nice to hang out with friends having the beach as a nice view. But this does not change the fact that I'm not satisfied overall, The customer it's not good enough, food is relatively good, the sound tends to be too loud, you can't have a conversation with a normal tone of voice, practically you need to yell to your partner if you want to speak with him. In beverages, we came with a party of four people, each one odered something different to taste it, we Ordered 2 Pineapple juice (natural, was really good), amapola (really bad, not taste as a amapola at all) and coca cola. The place in terms of food is really overpriced vs the taste of the food. Cebiche was really good, fresh fish. Conclusion, not satisfied at all! But it is a really nice place to hang out, relax and having a good time with family and friends. Other than that, the review tells everything.

    It's a nice short getaway from the city and really amazing food! Our food was served in less than 5 minutes and the ambiance was wonderful.

    LOVED the food! My favorite Panama food experience...the fried fish and especially the homemade pepper sauce!!!!! Then the Octopus ceviche so surprisingly good...especially with the homemade sauce. The owner was warm and helpful especially as our Spanish was very limited.

    Went with some friends and co-workers after church today. The food was delicious. I had the salmon and it was excellent. The waitress was extremely attentive to our table. The view, depending where you are sitting, is absolutely wonderful. The music was a little loud, but that is not uncommon from some places I have been to, even in the states. Like a lot of places here, if you go, it is more of a sit and relax with each other atmosphere. Don't be in a rush. It is a good place to go to for sure, I would go again.

    Heard about this restaurant from the staff at Dreams Playa Bonita resort down the street. Food is delicious, staff was friendly, drinks were good enough not much kick to them so I'd pass next time. My only complaint was it took forever to get the check but I would recommend this spot and go back again next time I'm in the area.

  • 4/5 Matthew L. 2 months ago on Google • 123 reviews New
    TL;DR - decent Food was pretty good.  Octopus was overdone, but fried fillet and croquettes were tasty and well cooked. Service was attentive, and even shared personal wifi when the in-house system malfunctioned. We were in the area for 2 weeks, went 4 times, and didn't have bad meal.  Would definitely go again.

    Waterfront, music and decor good, clean bathrooms. Whole deep fried fish: AWFUL not seasoned not even salted $15 Over fried (not burn though). Shrimp ceviche $9 was good. Fruit beverage $4.50. Only bottled water available.

    Visiting Panama with my travel group. We had a beach day and found this place. When we arrived the the tide was low so there wasn't much to do. So I ordered beer and drinks and food to pass the time. The food is authentic Panamanian dishes. Tide came in about an hour later and the beach was full of folks. Nice made bungalow to relax in.

    A really nice place to spend a Sunday at the beach without going too far away from the city. The food is good and the prices are ok. My favourite dish was the Ceviche de mercado con cilantro. They have a friendly staff. However, they can improve their service a little.

    (Translated by Google) The situation is beautiful but there are people smoking marijuana with children playing on the swings. They make good money because they invest in security. Marijuana doesn't bother me but disrespect for children. (Original) El situo es hermoso pero hay gente fumando mariguana con niños jugando en los columpios. Hacen buen dinero pues inviertan en seguridad. No me molesta la mariguana sino el irrespeto a los niños.

    It’s a short, scenic ride from Panama City and the place is just beautiful. Food was delicious and plenteous. We had much fun here notwithstanding how hot and humid it was (Mid-August in Panama is just unbelievably hot and uncomfortable, and I’m from a hot place myself)

  • 5/5 Sergio R. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place with great view but only have a few dishes

  • 3/5 Nadia C. 4 years ago on Google
    We order the whole fish and it was really good as the clamshell but the fish fillet they served cold and then they microwave to heat it and we returned that it is unacceptable. Beers not cold and service was terrible, ambiance very noisy but fun with a great DJ and the view is beautiful, completely outdoor place with a small playground for children to be entertained. Maybe goimg on a not crowded day. I wen on a Sunday and every restaurant around was full. Tables to close to each other.

  • 4/5 Chris 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place, interesting seating options, good view, good DJ, One or two great menu items, the rest are just okay, prices are a bit high for what you get, but you're paying for the beach front location i guess.

  • 4/5 Karen M. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is always fun because you get to eat fish by the sea without having to travel too far. The grilled fish was AMAZING. Will definitely come back for it, but it is only served on the weekend. I don't reccomend the grilled salmon though. I don't understand the need to have music so loud that you cannot hear the people at your own table. But I guess this is a trend, since it is not the only place where I've had to deal with loud music.
