"El sitio es muy bonito, la comida es rica, pero los platos de mar no los recomiendo, fueron porciones pequeñas comparadas con el precio, el arroz marinero fue el último plato en servirse. El ambiente es muy agradable, pero no tienen la logística para atender un grupo grande de personas, sirvieron la comida en intervalos muy largos de tiempo, la espera entre el primero y el último plato fue de una hora y media, lo que molestó mucho ya que era hora del almuerzo y muchos ya tenían hambre. Debieron informar que se demoran en la entrega de los platos o preguntar con anticipación que platos de iban a consumir para que no hubiera sido tan larga la espera."
