Stumbled upon this fantastic Italian gem! The bolognese pasta was perfectly al dente with a rich, hearty sauce, while the funghi pizza had an amazing blend of fresh mushrooms and crispy crust. Christiano provided exceptional service, making us feel welcomed throughout our visit. The restaurant’s charming atmosphere is enhanced by thoughtful details like complimentary mosquito repellent for outdoor dining comfort. The elegant decor creates the perfect setting for an authentic Italian dining experience. Will definitely return for more delicious meals!

Cielomar Restaurant and our Rooftop Bar and lounge that doesn’t just set the scene. It is the scene.
Enjoy artisan cocktails and small plates while hearing the crash of the waves at your side. Yes,

Expansive ocean views on the side are complemented by vibrant, fiery sunsets on another, creating a destination alongside a bountiful food and beverage offering highlighted by fresh seafood, flame-grilled fare, and a wood-fired pizza oven.
