A great place to get a coffee and do people watching at the same time, free wifi is also a bonus. The food is also of good quality and value as well. Try the smoothies her as they are great value as well.

We whiled away our last hour or so in Vila relaxing here. We checked our emails with the free wifi, enjoyed the view, lovely smoothies and good food, wish we had discovered it earlier.

We went down on Sunday night and enjoyed happy hour drinks and a pizza while taking in the beautiful sunset. Free Wifi was available too. When the sun went down,... More

With not many eating places open on Sunday for lunch we found this one and even had a discount voucher off the plane for meal. We ate outside and had burgers and there was quite a good choice of food.
