Didn’t get sick which is most important. But food wasn’t very good, and they didn’t give you much to warrant the high prices. The views were beautiful, but you could constantly smell the porta potty’s unfortunately

Incredible dinner on our last night. Welcomed with a glass of champagne and sat directly on the beach during sunset. Our waitress was knowledgeable about what contained gluten, along with it being labeled on the menu. I wanted the red snapper and our waitress explicitly told the chef not to bread it. Came out with no gluten and it was incredible. Just ask and they will accommodate if possible. Highly recommend!

If you have celiac disease, AVOID THIS PLACE. My server was clueless about what was and was not gluten free. I asked twice about the creme brûlée which she stated was gluten free. It did not show on the menu, so I asked her to please check back with the kitchen. She returned and informed me that it is indeed not gluten free. This could have ruined my entire trip. I would never go here again for this reason. The view is not worth the illness.

The sunset was absolutely amazing and the location is key but unfortunately I got glutened. The waiter was aware I have celiac and I ordered something the said gf on the menu. I confirmed it was gf when it came out and the waiter shook his head yes. I think there was a language barrier. It came smothered in a gravy and I think that is what did it, I felt sick all night. If you go here get something simple and grilled that is hard to mess up gf. The view gave it the 2 stars.

My daughter was glutened here. Pretty sure it was the French fries- we were told they would be made separately and safely for her, but she was sick the next day.

Went for lunch and was told they don’t have gluten free options or bread. It might be a different situation for dinner?

The waitress brought my daughter’s steak and seemed wrong. I asked her she confirmed it was GF. I asked to speak to chef. He had no idea it was GF. He remade it. Obviously close call. But strongly concerned. Will never be back. Flying fishbone and Barefoot much better.

Beautiful setting. Many GF options. The blackened grouper was outstanding. As an appetizer I had the cold seafood medley-amazingly fresh. Staff was knowledgeable. I would definitely return.

This place is amazing. The GF entrees are clearly marked and you can't beat dinner on the beach, toes in the sand, watching the sunset over the water. We went there for my husband's birthday - I have celiac, he doesn't.... such a great experience!

Very nice pave to eat. It is right on the beach. You have your toes ob the sand so wear sandals. they had a very extensive list of gluten free options. They had gluten free bread to serve before the meal.

Our waitress was very knowledge.

Make sure to call in advance and make reservations. It is expensive and I will go there again.

Fantastic! Gf menu and gf bread. They are very aware and the tables are in the sand 10 feet from ocean. Best gf experience in Aruba !! Had salad, shrimp and steak and mashed pot.
