Why Travelers Love Barefoot Restaurant
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
A beautiful sunset dinner! Barefoot had a great atmosphere, relaxed vibe and good food. You are right by the airport, so you will here some planes taking off and landing, which was pretty cool. There might be some dogs walking around, they won't bother you and if they approach you enjoy them! The food was very good. We had the crab cakes, split the Caprese salad. We ordered the Pineapple Chicken ( very good, curry ,pineapple, veggies stir fry) and the Veal Ossobuco on mashed potatoes. Both meals were very good and filling! Enjoy the nice relaxed romantic atmosphere. Reservations highly recommended. This place was absolutely beautiful. Having dinner on the sand/beach was a lovely experience. I would recommend coming at night if you don't want to sit in the sun during the day time. The night time was beautiful. The service was great. Lovely place. Thanks for having us we had a party of 12 and they accommodated our group. The environment is so beautiful we came during sunset and the server (Rod) asked us to take our picture and he did an amazing job from start to finish. The food was delicious and the staff were also amazing. We came for our honeymoon and the staff were lovely and even wrote on our dessert happy honeymoon. I would 100% recommend this restaurant on your visit!

Thiis restaurant has a beautiful ambiance, and it is perfect for a night out. The service was impressive; the staff was attentive, courteous, and professional throughout the evening. Unfortunately, the food did not meet the same standard. While well-presented, it lacked flavor and depth, which was disappointing given the overall experience. With some refinement to the menu, this could truly become a standout dining destination.

Absolutely worth the hype. This was one of our favorite dining experiences in Aruba. We intentionally booked a reservation on the beach to time it around sunset, and it did not disappoint. It might sound a bit gimmicky, but I really enjoyed the experience and it made for some beautiful memories. The food was excellent and delicious. It’s pricy but a once in a lifetime experience. The wait staff was so kind to me too as I tried to practice my Dutch. A truly professional and exquisite meal
