The dining scene offers authentic Caribbean flavours from fresh ceviche to grilled fish at budget comedores and trendy rooftops. Charming boutique hotels occupy restored colonial buildings with rooftop terraces and pools. Getting around is easy with frequent taxis and buses, though the neighborhood's cobblestone streets are best explored on foot.
