The food and amenities were great and walking up and down the boardwalk. As women traveling without male companions this felt like a safe choice. The service was great at the beach bar and restaurant but the service was lacking at front desk, during reservations, and the inside bar. Overall we'd stay again. This area of SXM is pretty low key at night. Great for shopping ,eating, and beach time.

The pro: Two of our meals were great. The drinks were delicious…read more Cons: Totally outweigh the pros. Unfortunately! The third meal - steak was undercooked. Took what seemed extra time to cook the same steak longer. Then comes to dessert- again 2/3 were great but the third person ordered a coffee and this came when we were done with the two other dessert dishes. Took very long. One person in the party forgot their phone. She went back and was treated so rudely. The person rolled her eyes and was very very reluctant to give back her phone. The unpleasant experience of this at a fine dining establishment between meal, dessert and treatment upon returning- really really disappointed!!!!! Sadly- we were excited to even try again but with staff grunting and rolling eyes. Nope! Not worth our $300 plus bill.

It's also perfect for larger groups, especially after a long day at the beach.

We are so…read moreglad we found it but bummed it wasn't until the end of the trip, otherwise, we would have gone every single day. One of the owners Max was there both nights we went and we were impressed by his attentiveness, kindness and the pride he took in the bar and drinks he was serving. He was so passionate that it was contagious; seriously - if someone was giving out tattoos I probably would have gotten a Ratafia tattoo on the spot and signed up to be a groupie. The most impressive thing Max pulled of was the fact that he made a gin drink (Clover Club) that my husband actually liked even though he's sworn off gin since a night of drinking and getting sick off of it in high school! I couldn't believe it. He took the time to explain the ingredients in the drinks, why they work and was even making the fresh ingredients for the drinks while we were there (raspberry syrup, chickpea water, etc.). We also had a charcuterie board one of the nights and it was fresh and great compliment to the drinks. Max even shared a sample of Ratafia with us and the story of why they chose to name their bar after it. Oh and we especially loved being able to catch the sunset from the patios so don't miss that if you go!

Visited 6th and 9th August 2024…read more My companion and I decided to visit Darkwood Beach for a beach day. It's convenient since Darkwood Beach Bar & Restaurant serves food and drinks, which means we did not have to worry about packing lunch. The only problem is that it's a bit spendy $$$, so be mindful of that. As soon as we arrived, we ordered our meals. I ordered the Darkwood classic burger, which was topped with bacon, cheese, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, plantains, and pickles.. I asked them to hold the pickles on mine. All burgers are served with a side of fries. I wanted to substitute regular fries for sweet potato fries, but they were out of sweet potato fries. My companion had the local lobster entrée, which came with two sides. He chose sautéed potatoes and plantains. Both meals were delicious. The burger was massive - I resorted to eating the meat only and left the bun because it was so much food. It was well seasoned and reminded me of a smash burger the way it fell apart with every bite. The lobster was done in buttery garlic sauce, and it was perfect. Eating it was like an orgasm in your mouth. Yummy! The potatoes were amazing too, and the plantains were fried golden brown. For drinks, we just opted for local passion fruit, which were $ 5 USD / $13EC each. My friend joined us later, and she had the local lobster as well as wings. The wings were well fried and tasted delicious, too. If you want to use the umbrellas ($10USD/$26EC each) and beach chairs ($5USD/$13EC each), you also pay at the bar. And there is a 10% service charge added to your total bill. Once we finished ordering our food, they informed us that it would be about 20 minutes to prepare. We swam until then. When the food was ready, the servers brought it out to our chairs, where we were located. The day was beautiful, except for a few scattered showers, but the beach pristine with white sands and turquoise waters. I would highly recommend Darkwood Beach even if you do not eat/drink at Darkwood Beach Bar & Restaurant. As previously stated, the beach is pristine, and the water is not too deep, so it is ideal for small children or novice swimmers.

They are cute but I have a fear it would bite me so no pictures with one. I enjoyed the atmosphere and everything else here. If I wasn't so full, I would have ordered some fresh fish.

We stopped to eat with maybe an hour and a quarter before the shuttle was to arrive. It was island time... the food arrived unevenly between 10-15 before the shuttle. We didn't have time to finish and had to take most of the meal to go. It was advertised as fresh mahi but either it was overcooked in a rush or wasn't fresh. But that's not to say it was bad, just average. The waitress seemed annoyed with us overall. The music was really loud, even when we were sitting behind them. And since we were visiting on a Sunday, there are no split checks. So unless you're paying cash, someone picks it up the whole bill. For what it's worth, We did like the vibe of the place. And the views were pretty terrific.
