Sea Breeze Restaurant & Bar

Sea Breeze is one of those restaurants in Aruba that wins you over the moment you sit down. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy, with a relaxed beachfront vibe that feels effortless rather than staged. What truly sets it apart, though, is the view—watching the sun set over the water from your table is nothing short of phenomenal. It’s the kind of setting that makes a good meal feel even better. The menu leans heavily into seafood, and they do it well. Dishes are fresh, well‑prepared, and thoughtfully seasoned, offering plenty of variety without overwhelming you. It’s clear the kitchen knows exactly what it wants to showcase. Service is another standout. Maxi, in particular, took amazing care of us—warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making the evening feel special. The only real downside is the mandatory 15% service charge added to the bill, paired with an expectation of an additional tip. We’re generous tippers and always happy to reward great service, but being forced into a fee like that takes away from the experience. If the restaurant needs the extra 15% to support operations or staff, they should simply raise menu prices and be transparent about it. Even with that frustration, Sea Breeze remains a wonderful place to enjoy a great seafood meal in one of the most beautiful sunset settings on the island.

The food was disappointing and did not meet our expectations. The service was just okay. Even simple items like mashed potatoes and French fries were not prepared well. I should have been more cautious since it’s located inside a hotel. I had heard good reviews, but unfortunately, it wasn’t worth the money. I would recommend saving your money and dining elsewhere.

It is okay but nothing really special and there are better places around to dine at and enjoy the views. The staff is a bit on the rude side for no apparent reason, the food is hit or miss. We had a very good pizza and spicy baby shrimp for lunch the first time we visited, then we went a second time and it was the exact opposite experience. The pizza was meh, the ribs were cold, the beers were 2/3 full and 1/3 foam.

Beautiful location on the beach. Perfect to watch the sunset in the evening while having dinner. Food is excellent. Service was very good with friendly servers. We didn't have reservations but were able to get a seat quickly. Goat cheese appetizer was excellent. Sea bass and chicken were delicious.

disappointed in the quality of food at this restaurant, especially since it’s attached to a very nice hotel. we also got a steak and there was no seasoning to it. The pizza was very bland and had too much cheese.
