A cool-vibe place at the Marina Gaviota complex that's (obviously) heavy with tourists. Most nights it's a disco with a live DJ. On Saturdays it usually has a live band – top-notch Cuban rock duo Buena Fe were recent guests. It's pleasantly modern with white lounge sofas and an upstairs terrace with marina views.
