Hey Johnny!!! Thank you for your wonderful review! We are so happy you stumbled upon us by accident and that your experience was GREAT! That is what we always aim for! Captain Garrick and Chef says hello, and is waiting for you and your group to visit again so he can cook you another Aruban meal or next time we can try and catch a fish and prepare this live for you and your group to eat. Best regards from captain Garrick and Chef! Hope you guys come back to Aruba soon.
