It was a magical experience. The ambience, service, view and food was excellent. The penne vegetarian dish I had was one of the tastiest vegetarian dishes I’ve ever tasted! I will plan another trip back to PV again mainly to experience La Capella again Thank you for a magical night with my family V Thomas

High season hours (starting October 15th) will be 11:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 3:00 PM, with closing time at 5:00 PM.

To make a reservation, the system requires a non-refundable prepayment of $120 pesos per person for round-trip boat transportation. This amount is not refundable in case of cancellations or no-shows. If you hike in or arrive by your own boat, this payment will serve as a deposit and will be deducted from your bill on the day of your visit.

By making a reservation, you acknowledge and accept our reservation policies. Please visit our website for more information.

Please note; our weather and waves can change on a moment's notice. We may have to cancel the water taxi and close the restaurant if the waves are too high. This only happens occasionally but if we do you will receive a text on the phone number you leave with open table.

Wow wow wow. The service here is absolutely outstanding. From the moment you enter you feel welcome. Our server was outstanding and friendly and the two for one Margaritas were excellent. The fish and chips were the best we ever had anywhere. Very light batter and the chips were delicious. The calamari were very tasty also This is a must place to dine at in PV
