Dave Ingeveld
"Ok nice location and drink prices ok for centre of Villajoyosa. Bit of drama with a lady who had fallen over, maybe too much vino who knows? but apart from that it was ok for a stop off and a drink. 5 euros for 2 bottles"

"What a terrible service! Totally not friendly staff, glasses not clean, not helpfull, other client asked for citron in lemonade, got a whole citron instead of cutting a piece, bossy … never order here and certainly don’t get any food. Most terrible terrace and bar we ever saw!"
