We really liked dining in the sand at the Barefoot Restaurant. We had great food and a wonderful sunset with the sailboats docked in front of us. We were also bothered by the locals that were using the "beach club" next door. Their kids ran up and down the beach, playing in the water right in front of our table,... More

Just had dinner here - can not understand why this place has received such good reviews. The menu does not accurately describe the dishes; the not-so-fresh fish entree was served on a bed of watery, previously frozen vegetables (carrots & cauliflower!) instead of the promised pasta. Even the iced tea was watered down! Clearly this place exists because of its... More

My husband and I decided that for our dinner on the beach we would try Barefoot and skip Passions this year. It was a good choice. The service was 100% on - I think our waitress name was Michelle. We had the tomato soup which is a must try and had fish for our entree. It was our Anniversary and... More

We loved Barefoot. the food was excellent, the location is superb, and there is a very nice atmosphere -- the lighting is cool, and they play lovely music during dinner. The service was great and they were very friendly. Don't be dissuaded by people complaining it's near the airport -- we had our sunset dinner for over two hours and... More

We enjoyed the most romantic anniversary dinner at this lovely restaurant. Everything from the menu to wine selection was superb. Not only was the location amazing, the entire staff went out of their way to make our evening enjoyable. This is one experience that should not be missed!

This place is top notch all the way and became our favorite restaurant during our week visit to Aruba in May 2012.. We really had such a wonderful dinner and our waitress Liz couldn't do enough for us. The atmosphere here was very airy and oh soo relaxing. I had the Lobster Bisque for my appetizer (yummy) and I the... More

We had a beautiful dinner May 10 2012. They cheerfully accomodated a special request for an appetiser. The Escargot in white cream garlic sauce was the best I have ever had. My Rack of Lamb was delicious as was the Grouper and Seafood Medly our group had. The house Cab was a very nice California. The sunset was our dessert.
