Cabana Bar & Restaurant Described as Outstanding. Stop by any day of the week

Cabana Bar & Restaurant Described as Outstanding. Stop by any day of the week

SINT MAARTEN (SIMPSON BAY) - Lee from Michigan U.S.A. described Cabana Bar & Restaurant located at Hilton Vacation Club Royal Palm Resort near the Simpson Bay Bridge in his Tripadvisor review as outstanding.

"If you visit St. Maarten, I would highly recommend stopping by the Cabana Beach Bar and Restaurant in the Hilton Royal Palms on Simpson Bay.

"The food was beyond good. Everyone in my family ordered something different and all of the entrees were visual pleasing and the taste was beyond good. Everything tasted fresh and was delivered to the table hot.

"The view from the restaurant looking out over Simpson Bay was also spectacular.

"Don't let the fact that this restaurant is in a hotel make you think the food cannot be good because this place definitely disproves that fact. Please give them a try you will be pleasantly surprised."

Make sure to check out Cabana Bar & Restaurant which offers American, Caribbean and Barbeque dishes. They are open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day.
