“delicious food build your own burrito with every vegie or meat from menu“

“clean, neat, modern,and an excellent place to stay and meet people, Staff is pleasant professional and a lot of fun to talk to. They have a Cafe right on premise that serves breakfast lunch and dinner. You can walk out to the beach plus they have an out door heated pool. it's handicap excessable there are two floors that you can view the water coming in and the sun rises and sun sets. You could also walk to various attractions and rent a scooter. I give it 200 % place to go“

“Make sure you ask for Priscilla she’s an amazing person and has a very good customer service!!“

“Wonderful experience, our server was so nice and took good care of us. We got to hear a fun band which added to our enjoyment.“

“Food was good (fried shrimp and key lime pie), service by Nallely was great (thank you!), music was all Buffett and all good, but atmosphere was a little tense for a while due to some dad constantly yelling at his kids (I know it's a hard job, but still.. it's Margaritaville for gods' sakes ;).“

“While looking for gluten free places to eat while on the island we tried the Grapevine Cafe. They have great food and a lot gluten free options. Would definitely recommend.“

“Just came back from a week there, weather was perfect, beach was perfect, rooms were clean, cold ac, wonderful!!!“

“Best Pina Colada on the island and George is a great bartender and waiter!“

“Jenna was very helpful from the reservation to checking in and checkout. We had a wonderful experience on a busy Memorial Day weekend but we felt as if we had plenty of privacy and seclusion from the island’s hustle and bustle. The hot tub was very hot and inviting! The pool was clean and refreshing with live music and entertainment from 3pm-2am! The Pina Coladas were delicious as well. They left a little thoughtful surprise to us in our room! Champagne and a love note! Very romantic experience and will definitely be back for more. Love the adults only aspect.“

“Fast Service, Great Food, and Awesome Entertainment. We had so much fun!!! We will definitely visit more frequently!!! **********“

“Cheese curds and fried pickles appetizers with blackened redfish we caught in the bay. The food was delicious and the staff was great.“

“I've stopped in here the last few times I've been to SPI and always enjoyed the karaoke and atmosphere. I go there to drink, so the food I have no idea, but I can definitely vouch for the beer!“

“The bartenders, Kevin, Brandon and Carson were absolutely amazing! The live music they had was our group’s favorite, so much so we spent 3 days of our vacation hanging out at here! The view for the New Year’s fireworks was the best by far!“

“Great service and great food. Roberto and Juan were awesome servers and bartenders. I highly recommend them“

“SO YUMMY!! got corn in a cup, horchata and a chicken quesadilla and everything was amazing! very friendly staff too!! thank you for the great food! 🤗“

“Very pleasant experience there. They just opened up their kitchen again last week, and had a few great vegan options! Kinda and courteous staff! Treated us very well, and food was SPICY!

Dietary restrictions: Good option for those on a plant based or vegetarian diet. Their kitchen will expand over time. Food is spicy!“

“Shawn took excellent care of our family when we came for dinner today. She went the extra mile to make our night truly memorable and provided excellent recommendations on what else to do while we are on the island. The food was also great.“

“Came down for husband's Company's annual fishing tournament. Chris and his crew hosted the Captain's Party at Coconut Jacks and let me tell you...They killed it!!! Chris hired a great band, his chef turned out delicious burgers and homemade fries that I could have just eaten as a meal themselves and his bartenders (Fran & Anabel) were seasoned and kept up with the demand. If you are looking for a place to have a private event this is a great option! On the water with great views and a staff that is going to make sure you are well taken care of! Chris let us know that the owner will be upgrading and remodeling very soon to bring an even better experience to SPI! Cannot wait to go back!“

“Our group of 6 had a really great experience there today! Jared provided fantastic table service, very friendly and attentive. And the food was amazing.“
