Breakfast is served at Muse, the hotel’s Italian restaurant (another nod to Barbieri), where a terrace overlooks the ocean, while in the evening the catch of the day is served alongside vongole pasta with fresh mussels and fat Sicilian red prawns. There are three main restaurants, plus a poolside bar. The main bar, Kokoye, can fix you up with anything from an off-menu French 75 to a signature ‘mar-tea-ni’, made with gin and tea infusions. This fun and rather lovely space, with its palm-printed walls and green plush banquettes, is frequented, like the restaurants, by locals and visitors alike. On the lower level is Moutya, offering Creole-style dining where you can sip spicy Island iced tea and nibble on homemade beachside plantain chips before ordering charcuterie or a special occasion lobster.
