Indoor and outdoor-patio dining, plus a popular Sunday Brunch! Outdoors, right up against the smashing ocean view, there are 10 palapa tables that seat up to 4 people each. On the other side of the patio there are 10 more palapa-covered tables, also with an ocean view (but not as dramatic) that are capable of seating larger parties. The beautiful covered path that leads to the sandy beach below can be reached by walking down to the hotel rooms at the north end of the restaurant.
 
Vendor shacks line up on the north end of the road (right side) heading into the village. If you've been to Mexico before, you probably won't see anything new here. Still, it is fun to pick up items for the folks stuck back home, and prices are reasonable.

There are also small shops scattered throughout the village. Negotiating is definitely expected, but it helps to be reasonable with your ultimate price. There are also two pharmacies in town, two small markets, and a liquor store.
