- Book Causa early: it's the most popular restaurant for foodies—and many guests return twice, so get your first reservation early in your stay.
- Use the Marina for date night: start at Cocomar Bar for sunset cocktails, then dinner at SBG or La Casita for a romantic waterfront evening.
- Keep one beach day simple: spend a full day at Minitas Beach Club & Restaurant so you never leave the sand.
- Balance indulgence with wellness: use Squeeze Juice Bar and Spa Café on days between big dinners to reset.

If you're staying 4–5 nights, hit Causa once, La Piazzetta once, a Marina night (SBG or La Casita), a beach day at Minitas, and repeat your favorite. If you're staying 7+ nights, you'll have time for everything—plus second visits to the standouts.
