We're always looking for new places to eat lunch at while on Eagle Beach. My advise to Costa Linda - fire everyone, tear the place down and start from scratch.
One of the worst places we've eaten at in Aruba - could've been a whole lot better.
Worst lobster we have had. Service was exceptionally slow, even though they were not very crowded. The salad was excellent however, with fresh grated cheese. Lobster also must have set in the back for awhile after it was cooked, as it was already cold when served.
My family stays at Costa Linda every summer and we eat at Turtle's Nest a lot. Lunch is great and the service is amazingly quick. If you are staying at the Costa Linda, you can order your lunch and they will bring it to your beach hut. One day I ordered lunch and by the time I walked back to my seat I had about 10 minutes and my lunch arrived. The menu has changed over the years and the new menu is really good. I highly recommend the american cheeseburger and the ham and cheese wrap.
Ate lunch here while waiting for our room to be ready. Although we love Costa Linda Resort, we really can't say the same for this restaurant. The food was awful - the fish was very overcooked. The service was extremely slow despite the restaurant not being busy. Three times we asked for water and never got it. We had to ask another waitress to get our check for us. We also noticed at night hardly anyone was eating there.
Tried to enjoy their Maine Lobster dinner special on our visit June 16, 2004, however the flies were overwhelming and after we finished our salads requested that the remainder of the meal be boxed to go. The food was great once away from the flies. The explanation offered from the manager was that this is "the fly season".
We always have a wonderful meal at this restaurant. It is located beach front at the Costa Linda resort. Food is delicious and service is good as there never seem to be great crowds here. Wonderful setting. We look forward to returning to the Turtle's Nest each year.
The waitress must not have had any training. She forgot to bring us napkins and water. At the end of the meal she took my credit card without presenting me with an itemized bill first.
Food was poor to terrible. My companion had chicken and ribs. The chicken wasn't too bad, but the ribs were inedible. They were tough with very little meat between bones and no taste to them. "Worst ribs he ever had."
I wouldn't reccommed this place to anybody.
