“This spot has a lot going for it, particularly its prime beachfront location, though I wonder about reports of service lapses. The promise of Floribbean cuisine and stylish event spaces certainly sounds appealing, but I'd want reassurance that the basics are consistently covered. Still, the idea of unwinding by that infinity pool, drink in hand, has its undeniable allure.”
