Since we were staying at the Beachside, this was a convenient place for lunch. The decor is typical tropical Tiki with thatched umbrellas and tropical pastel colors.
I had the Mahi tacos, my wife the Mahi salad. We added the huge pretzel and basket of fries to share with the grandkids. The grandkids had chicken nuggets, and Mac ‘n Cheese. The tacos were just okay, but everything else was good. The fries were great! The adults had adults drink, which was good, pricey at $11.50, but still tasty.
The food is decent. The service is very good. If you’re staying at the hotel, it’s a nice alternative to going across the street to McD’s. Enjoy!

Yeah, so this restaurant & bar is okay. The inside is crowded. It was so hectic. They had a bingo game, but it wasn’t really set up and was just off in one corner, but they would be loud about calling numbers. So, if you weren’t playing it was a nuisance to try and talk or have any conversation because of the closeness of everything. Not only that, they also had music playing, making it hard to hear anything. If you chose to sit outside by the pool, you risk getting sand thrown into your food. It’s right by the sand/pool area, with no lifeguards and no regulation. Sure they have posted “pool rules” but they don’t enforce them. People were jumping all over the lazy river, throwing tubes and sand, bringing pool water into the sand pit, etc. IT WAS A MESS!
The food that we tried was a chicken sandwich, a hamburger, tacos, and fries. The sandwiches were combos that came with bagged chips. So we decided to order some fries on the side to share. The combos came with water. The chicken sandwich was extremely bland. On the surface, it looks like a delectable set of meals, but after tasting them, that wasn’t the case. The bread was so dry, it crumbled when I bit into it. The tacos were the same story. But, I was told the burger was okay. The fries were also just okay. Not really seasoned or salted. The Doritos, well you can never go wrong with some Doritos. But this set me back $60, which is pretty absurd considering we really only got 2 sandwiches, 2 tacos, and a small fry. Sure we got Doritos and a cup of water, but that’s pretty unsubstantial.
It definitely isn’t the worse, but I wouldn’t come back and spend money here unless they change their quality or quantity of food, or the prices of their items.

Nothing can beat the delicious drinks by the pool, the excellent service, the pizza was fantastic! I’ve stayed at the hotel a few times and this was the first time i’ve had drinks or ordered food here. I’ve been missing out!! It is a must stop if you stay here! Cant recommend enough!!

SUPER overpriced drinks that just come out of a margaritaville machine. The food, you can take your chances here. It’s not much food for high prices. Honestly everything at this hotel was a disappointment. Side note: The bartender seemed grumpy. Crack a smile lady.

I’m not sure how you could rate this place less than four stars. Our family of 6 ate lunch both days and dinner both nights we were here. We had different servers each of the two nights. Both nights were slammed with patrons and big orders. Every encounter we had was perfect. I looked around and saw a few eye rolls from patrons not wanting to wait 20 min for their food, sure. Don’t be those people and you’ll have a great experience. You’re in paradise!
On our last night here, Monica was the only server/bartender and I counted over 40 people ordering while I was there. Monica handled it like a pro and kept a smile on her face the whole time. The food came out great and the drinks were perfect.
If you don’t experience this place because of a couple of whiny reviews from some sour people, then there’s plenty of fast food options nearby. Enjoy!

We enjoyed this restaurant while staying at the Beachside hotel. Duck Dive has a great island vibe with a walk up window to order drinks and food. The mahi sandwich was great and my wife absolutely loved the tacos. Not sure why but they didn’t have tartar sauce. The food was very expensive but I guess that’s the price you pay for convenience. Will definitely dine here next time we are in town.

Stayed at Beachside resort for the Jiu-jitsu camp. Ate at duck dive a couple times. I was super impressed with Monica. It was 8pm, they were super busy. She never showed any signs of being frustrated or under pressure. I was very impressed.

We stayed at the hotel last November. Been there many times in the past. Had food and drinks from the Duck Dive, all was good. We’ll be there again in two weeks and so looking forward to it. We always stay here before a cruise

$8 rum punch but $4-6 would be a much fairer price. $8 for two tacos I had my hopes up but they made taco bell look absolutely heaven sent.
