Salty Swamis
Cafe
πŸ‘ Really nice place to eat and chill close to the beach. Great choice of food, fresh and innovative. They have many tasty vegan options. The green surrounding is soothing but the fact that people smoke every where is a big down point for me. Obviously not the Salty Swamis fault, but allowing smokers i...

No.1 Roti Restaurant
Restaurant
😐 Ordered: 1 roti with ham and double cheese; 1 roti with shrimp and avocado; 1 roti with banana, chocolate and ice cream. Instead of ham, there was bacon (which is slightly cheaper). When we asked if it was ham, they answered yes. But for us it’s clearly bacon. Double cheese barely pulled on a singl...

First of all the level of mosquitos was enormous. However, acceptable as this is Mother Nature. What in contrary is unaccep...
