Our experience was exceptional! Beautiful table front row on the beach. Champagne and sunset were the start of a beautiful evening. We had the ravioli and lobster bisque soup as the starter. Grouper and salmon with vegetables for main course. Our dessert was a key lime Martini and White Russian. Server was extremely efficient and friendly. Friday and Sunday they have an awesome Duo who play beautiful dinner music, highly recommended

Wonderful restaurant, quiet and romantic. They had an excellent singing duo that added to the beautiful atmosphere. I have been to many restaurants in Aruba and Pure Ocean is my favorite! Oscar was our server and was wonderful… we will be returning!

Food was excellent. Lobster tails were superb. Steaks were cooked to perfection. It was a beautiful night and we were not hurried as we enjoyed our dinner. The staff were polite and attentive to our needs. They should be commended.

Sunset dining so book accordingly. We had a 6 o'clock and relaxed with a cocktail as the sun starting to set. Go some GREAT pics of sunset in the background. You might want to ask for Lydia who is simple a joy and a GREAT server. (Not to mention a lovely person.) Wonderful table setting in the sand so enjoy gourmet dining with your toes in the sand. Very romantic but not so much for the kiddies. The dinner was excellent, and service could not have been better. I'm here every year without fail. You will not be disappointed!

We had a wonderful meal in a beautiful location. We celebrated our 40th anniversary and our waiter Oscar made it extra special! From the Prosecco before dinner to the chocolate cake for dessert. Our table at the edge of the beach added to the amazing sunset. Thank you

We were there for 2 hours. There were only 2 of us. We waited for 30 minutes after sitting to order our appetizer and another 20 for the appetizer. We waited about 35 min for our entree. We were done eating for 20 min when they came back to table. Checking out took forever and 2 couples who sat before us were already cashed out and left. It was a beautiful view however the location wasn’t the greatest.

Best restaurant for watching the sunset! Our waiter Oscar was the best! This was our last elegant dinner before heading home, and it got the mark! Wife had Grilled Mahi-Mahi and I had the shrimp risotto. Wife’s dinner was best. If you’re looking for that elegant dinner spot, reserve it!

Celebrated a birthday here, they provided free dessert which we weren’t expecting. Hostess was friendly from the start, our waiter Eduardo was super friendly and service was beyond expectations. Food was amazing, views were breathtaking. Definitely a must try spot in Aruba!

Very small portions for the price. The waiter tried to pull a fast one on us. He did not provide us with an itemized receipt and when we asked him all he said we needed to do was add the tip. When I required him to bring me an itemized bill there was a 15% tip on the bill. I added another 3.5% for a total of 18.5%. The waiter became irate and confronted me why I did not give him a sufficient tip. I told him for average food and average service that 18.5% was adequate. He then argued with me and raised his voice in the middle of the restaurant and he pitched a fit that I discovered his disrespectful way of trying to get a double tip. This is my 26th trip to Aruba and I will never go back here.

I am not sure if they were understaffed or just unorganized, but we arrived for our reservation and it was clear that the restaurant was struggling to keep up. We waited 30 minutes for our table and decided to leave. We overheard another customer complain they waited for an hour and never even had an opportunity to place their drink menu. Once we heard that, we realized this dinner service was doomed, so we left.

Have been coming to Aruba for the last 8 years and eating in all sorts of places but tonight’s meal was the bottom of the barrel. Three hours to eat a two course meal, main plates delivered twice and both times wrong. Was not able to get management to resolve their issues at the time, but F&B Manager responded professionally and completely resolved our issues next day.
