Excellent dining experience and wonderful views of the Marina. The Dominican menu was great. The corn dessert was not worth ordering.

Great restaurant while staying at tortuga bay. Food great, service great, atmosphere is second to none. The restaurant is literally on the water with cooling breezes coming in off the water. Highly recommended. If no breeze it will be hot so dress accordingly

We ate at La Yola two of the six nights in Punta Cana. It is right on the water with an open atmosphere. Great food and friendly service.

Of all the restaurants within a short walk (or golf-cart ride) of the rooms at Tortuga Bay or Punta Cana Resort, this proved to be the most ambitious of the lot, beautifully appointed and professionally run. The dinner menu features meat, fish, pasta and local Dominican favorites (e.g., suckling pig and goat stew plus local veggies). We chose local fish... More

Like this restaurant best because the staff were all very gracious,warm and welcoming. We had a full moon glistening off the water and live music which was a great treat. Our meals there were very good and we look forward to going back.
