- Book specialty restaurants early: Vista Ballenas, Canto del Mar, and Sakke fill up fast—especially at sunset times.
- Match dinner to your evening plan: if you want a big night out, start with Suspiro Bar. If you want calm and romantic, choose Canto del Mar.
- Go earlier for the smoothest experience: earlier dinner times feel more relaxed and make it easier to enjoy the evening afterward.
