I forgot to mention a great lunch spot on WestBay beach.It is located at Cabana Roatana which is located next to Bananarama.The girl that runs the snack shop is a great cook and she whips up incredible island type dishes as well as hamburgers,hotdogs,chicken fajitas ,stewed pork chops,fried plantains ect.Marcilena is her name and she is a jewel in the kitchen.It is opened daily for breakfast too.She serves lunch until 3pm,but get there early because her reputation is spreading and the locals all gather daily for her yummy food.Sometimes she runs out of the daily special due to the high demand.They provide beachfront picnic tables under the palm trees for seating.
