The restaurant El Canguay is the heart of the hotel, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner and remaining open for cocktails and other beverages until late at night.

This is a casual, barefoot setting with a warm welcome and friendly service. The menu is extensive, although seafood is naturally a specialty - don't miss the excellent ceviches or the tasty giant shrimp.

It's possible to walk or take one of the golf-cart "cabs" into town to eat at other restaurants too.

Breakfast features a buffet of fruit, juices, rolls, toast and yoghurt, with eggs and other hot dishes cooked to order at your request.
