The Whole Red Snapper, cooked to flaky perfection and bathed in melted butter and garlic, is a standout favorite, delivering a richness that delights the palate.

    Had my birthday dinner at this lovely restaurant on the beach in Centro Bucerias. Staff were friendly and attentive. I ordered the lobster and shrimp combo. I chose to have the Lobster grilled and the shrimp wrapped in bacon and covered in cheese. Served with rice, veggies and garlic butter. It was done to perfection for dessert had the Mexican coffee. Also sunset was amazing!

    This place is amazing! Victor welcomed us with a warm greeting and a great seat close to the beach. The coconut shrimp were gigantic and had an equally huge taste. All of the food was excellent along with the service from all of the staff in the restaurant. We're really glad to have eaten here and happy to give it a 5 star rating.

    I had a fantastic lunch at Dugarel’s. I sat on the terrace overlooking the beach with an entire view of the bay. I started with the stuffed avocado with shrimp and then the whole red snapper with melted butter and garlic. Everything was fresh and delicious. Also, the service was friendly, and the food came out quickly. I will be back.

    Great place to eat on the beach. When we came 3 years ago and ordered the 2 person combo it was great. Shrimp, rock lobster, fish, and more. When we ordered it this time we got shrimp and more shrimp. Not that it was bad, but lack of variety made the 800 peso cost not worth it. Drinks were good and recommend ending with a Spanish coffee as it is quite the show as they make it table side.

    One of our first places to eat in 2005 when we first bought at Villa La Estancia Resort. Can walk the beach to find it. Amazing seafood. We recommend it to all our villa guests. Recommend by BradAndJoeyRentals
