“ I love nomads! I stayed in room 5 and the architect was beautiful.The food and stay both have amazing service. I will definitely be back for more and recommend all my friends here. Surf camp is the best! ”
“ This place is pretty good, its a local restaurant and because of that you will get a different take on many of the foods that one has already had in the past. Like the torta, instead of your normal bolio bread, you get a ciabatta bread instead. Now is that a good thing, well its a hit and miss sometimes and this time its a bit of a miss. But that shouldnt turn you away from areas like these because some of the others things in the menu which they do a different take in comes out delicious. So I recommend this area because I love the open mindedness of it and cant go wrong with a well priced steak that turned out to be very good. So do yourself a favor and go here for a nice lunch near the beach. ”
“ Hey, I was here in 2020 when you guys got fined that fat stack for staying open during the plandemic. What an experience. Me and 3 ladies waited in line for 15 minutes then went in and got some food and drinks and tipped well. always appreciate the battle against government. We had a good time. Food, service, drinks,. Always a pleasure. ”
