Went to Shima for dinner to celebrate a friend's bday. The food and drinks were great and the service was excellent. Great location and the ambience was good for a spot to celebrate. Higher end restaurant, but would recommend for a special evening.

Such a great experience overall. I stayed for 3 nights and everything was amazing. The food, the room, the service… top notch. Despite not being a beachfront property, they take you on a 5 minute ride (free of charge) to an incredible private beach. Highly recommend.
