The restaurant at Mafolie hotel is not cheap, but the view and atmosphere are some of the best on island. They serve authentic Caribbean cuisine with plenty of seafood dishes. If you don't want to splurge on dinner, go for happy hour at sunset! I don't think they actually offer any happy hour specials, but just grab a drink at the bar and enjoy the view.
