This restaurant is located on a pier overlooking the water. They have small dishes to share, some of them are Caribbean dishes like Jonny Cake, Keshi Yena etc. great to try, since portions are small. They do also have main dishes. Sometimes service can be slow but just order another killer beer-ita :) A Margarita with a beer upside down into it.

This is one of the TOP spots to see when in Aruba. Only accessible via 4x4, on a tour or by hiking there.
Hiking- start in the park and ask at the visitors center what the best hike route is. Do go early as it will be probably a multiple hour hike and it gets hot, or scout it out beforehand.
