I'm a local and went here for the first time for a business dinner. I have been dreaming of going back ever since.

We began with a cocktail, the Blackberry Pineapple Smash. Sipping on and savoring one of these had us floating blissfully through the entire meal. Not overly sweet but not too bitter either, and served frosty cold, almost frozen, but not.

We had several amazing appetizers, including the octopus which was grilled and served...

We had an awesome experience dining at La Bella Vita each day we stayed at the resort. Neither of us had a meal we didn’t enjoy! We had food delivered to our room and also dined in the restaurant. The staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommend the bucatini alla pesto and the pizza! For dessert, the chocolate budino and crème brûlée were repeats for us!

Beautiful views and service was attentive. Food for price was a massive disappointment. Brussel sprouts app was dry and not especially memorable and pizza was not very good at all. Well undercooked and not especially tasty. Enjoy the views they are exceptional and maybe order a drink but pass on the overpriced food
