Billing itself as "the coolest spot under the sun," this nightspot is located right on the beach just west of town. It features an octagonal dining room with fully exposed windows. Guests can also dine or enjoy a cocktail in the Cool Spot's Moonlight Gazebos, which hover over the water, creating the illusion of a floating bar. The Cool Spot serves dinner seven nights a week and recommends calling ahead for reservations. On Fridays and Saturdays, there is no set closing time.
Glistening Waters offers two full-service bars, one inside the restaurant and the other outdoors on the patio facing the bay. The website boasts that the establishment's bartenders prepare everything from banana daiquiris to natural fruit punches and ice-cold Red Stripe lager beer, a Jamaican staple. Visitors can also enjoy tropical punch while taking a boat tour, also offered by Glistening Waters, of the Luminous Lagoon, a natural phenomenon in which microscopic organisms cause the water to glow.
This resort offers a variety of choices for dining and drinking. The most formal, the Casablanca restaurant, serves Jamaican and Italian specials, has a dress code and requires reservations. Munasan, the Japanese restaurant, serves sushi and sake and also requires reservations. There are the more casual Breezes bars located in the lobby, the Seashell Bar and Grill on the main pool deck next to the beach, the Siren Piano Bar and the Bubbles Disco, which opens at 10:30 p.m.
For an offbeat experience, tourists may want to try the more rustic Time 'N' Place bar and restaurant. The bar is built of driftwood and offers a simple, friendly atmosphere, with reggae music provided by CDs and local stations. Despite the minimalist setting, Time 'N' Place has been used for fashion shoots and as a backdrop for the filming of movies, including "How Stella Got Her Groove Back." It prides itself on its daiquiris, made from fresh local fruit, and its pepper jerk chicken and lobster.
