About The Cliff

The Cliff is a beachfront venue built down the rock in tiers, so almost every table looks over the Caribbean Sea, and the sound of the water washing ashore is part of the meal. You choose between the full à la carte and a sushi menu, and the restaurant says its upper-level private dining room has one of the best sea views on the island. The restaurant publishes its dress code and useful information on its own site, so check before you go.
