The Restaurant at Hotel Esmeralda Resort

"The resort has two restaurants—the excellent L'Astrolabe for fine dining and the beachfront Coco Beach Club for anything from sushi, salads, and burgers to all-day-long lounging at the prime spot at the quiet end of the beach"

"The restaurant sits next to the small communal pool, though most guests ignore it in favor of the stunning beach and beachside service"

"Tiny L'Astrolabe restaurant continues to lure locals and guests with its expensive French, Creole and Continental dinners"
