My fiance and I had a great time here. Our host Eddie was very attentive and informative. This was our first time visiting Puerto and he answered all of our questions in English. We will definitely stop by before leaving.

Friendly place , staff speaks English, ordered the pizza which was great loaded with fresh ingredients... I will be going back for grilled lobster or bring my choice of meat that they will grill for you... On the beach, feet in the sand

Feels like I’m transported back to Output in Brooklyn (RIP) except there’s sand on the dance floor and I can’t quite cut shapes as well The sound system felt decent, the DJs were on point and the crowd was nice. Drinks are pricy but that’s expected. Feels like a nice club to go to when in the area. Wish they had a better dance floor but otherwise no complaints. I appreciated them not charging an entrance fee.
